Last week was my breaking point. Since my accident with the Jetta and it's early totaling by insurance the 250 was thrust into the spotlight as my daily driver. With that, the new Moose Pump was in order ASAP and I believed it to be a reliable and safe driver. Unfortunately after about 45 days of driving daily it became clear to me that this was going to require as much maintenance work as driving time. The glow plug controller crapped out, the glow plug wiring was rotting away, my batteries were going on 6+ years old, the Dana 50 was starting to leak at the pumpkin, the trailer lights weren't working, and a few other, but hassling issues began to creep up, not to mention the injector line and the rust continuing it's march across the floorboards and my constant uneasiness about the transmission. The final tipping point was when my 27 month old son asked me why I can't play with him and why I'm always working on the truck. That said, later this week it will be going to someone with three other IDI's two towns over. He pulled up in a 1994 Super Duty with his son following in a 1988 F150 2WD so I feel that it will be going to a good home. It had served me well for four years and had gathered about 20 cord of wood, two camping trips, canoes, kayaks, and other general driving. Before my son it was fun and cool to work on stuff but my time is best spent elsewhere.
Many thanks to those on this forum who so selflessly have helped others, myself included, to keep these trucks on the road. I told the new owner about it and will remind him when he picks it up.
Later this week I'll be listing some stuff which he declined. Two Kent Moore meters, parts, badging, etc.
Once again, thank you.
