    Thanks for reminding me to check mine...I'll do it in the morning...I did notice some loose bolts a while ago...before I put on some wheel covers... Thanks for the torque spec, too... I used the gaskets...can't remember if I used ultra black...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    PSA...never use WD-40 on a shortblock to keep the cylinders from rusting...especially with the pistons in it... Don't ask me how I know...another thing that I am still kicking myself on....

    Someone go get it!!!

    I spent less than that for my truck and I got a crane, welder, and air compressor, as well as a service body and new tires... I put a good chunk of change in it for two years before I put it to use...but that was the schooling part...and...I was more and more impressed with how tough the truck...

    Wiper are doing som silly s@&$

    I seriously doubt that 'they' are actually TEACHING punctuation... what 'they' are actually 'instructing' the kids to do...(in my opinion...) is...to just expect someone else to do the heavy lifting of life FOR them... aren't we 'progressing' into some form of 'workers paradise'....?? I had...

    Wiper are doing som silly s@&$

    I am just as sorry as I could be....but..@MIDNIGHT RIDER has a valid point... On the flip side...I ran your (the OP) paragraph by a German friend of mine...and they (in their native language) make sentences much like that...but much more understandable...(in their native parlance) So...Mr...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    From the waist down...you oughta see...no, wait...you don't want to see all of the places that I have scratched the last few days... I built a transmission for a Studebaker that had one of those in it... Darn thing was fast...for how heavy it was... Only seen a couple of those over the years...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    HAHAHA...that is pretty doggone good, too..!!! You did what I was trying to do without being jacked up on some good coffee... I was also suffering the backlash of an all-day and-most-of-the-night excursion from the day before... I also don't have my writers little helpers handy at the...

    Fighting the good fight against cabin (global) warming.... I feel...vicariously vindicated viciously victimizing vociferousity... cupholders... Now that we got that outta the way...Happy Monday Y'all... Speaking of the good fight...Last week I finally got the chance to use 'Ol One-Ton to...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I gotta agree, here...that truck is too nice-looking to be real.... I'll bet that someone has enlisted some kind of subversive AI app to construct an artists rendition of a darn-near perfect truck... Eff'n commies...making the rest of us look bad....here I am...with 'Ol One-Ton...that is...

    Turn signal / wiper wiring

    I had a brake controller just like yours in my truck when I got it...I took it out and all of the wiring that was connected to it and set it aside for later...I removed everything that did not look like 'factory'... Then...I looked under the rear area of the truck and saw the gol-durnest...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I think that I spot a BBF C-6 and maybe a Jeep transmission languishing in the bed of your truck. Can't quite make out the furthest-back one with the broke bolt around the starter area...but maybe a Cherokee automatic unit...? Curious mechanics can't help themselves....

    Transmission bench rebuild kit is it decent? E4od rebuild

    I think this time I might wane instead of wax... I appreciate the boost...but I am not in a waxing frame of mind right now...too tired from a long day... And...a lot of good advice and opinions have been offered already from good, exceptionally smart guys here from what I can see...

    Low Vacuum Pressure Switch

    I could be wrong....but I faintly remember a bulletin that told us (mechanics) that the speed sensor was moved from the speedo cable at the trans or transfer case to the diff beginning in '92... So...my bet is on the 'whatever'... In Virginia...during a 'state inspection'...if you are unlucky...

    6.9 fuel economy after turbo add and fuel screw increase

    Wait a minute...is your odometer calibrated for miles or kilometers...? How are you calculating your 'miles-per-gallon'...? I am totally ignorant of the instrument panels and guages that are available in Canada... As an aside...I am planning to do the same thing you did...put an 093 on a 6.9...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Yep...that sure is definitely an FMX. Last decendant of the Cruiseomatic series that Ford used for many a moon...the AOD and AODE have a similar geartrain but more modernized. I used to love to build those units because other guys did not want to... They were real sensitive to...

    Anyone swap back to throttle cable?

    I sympathize with you Mr. Frankenwrench...electronic components wear out without a lot of warning and cause untold problems and misery... Some vehicles have 'factory authorized' problems and driveability issues straight out of the gate...and the dealerships are saddled with trying to make...

    Anyone swap back to throttle cable?

    I agree...although I firmly believe that mechanics...the majority of them, deserve to make a decent living as good or better than those that 'work' in a comfy, climate-controlled, air purified office...the prices on parts seem to me to represent only the fact that you 'gotta have them' in order...

    Anyone swap back to throttle cable?

    I was thinking about a possible 7.3 PS swap into my truck recently because a wrecked truck showed up on the radar but now I know definitely NOT... Why would I want to buy a four(six) wheeled aggravating money pit..? Eff that crap...(putting it nicely...) Thanks for turning me back around, guys...

    Anyone swap back to throttle cable?

    Hold my beer... Don't tell me that I can't do at least SOMETHING...even if it is just a cable that works a potentiometer that makes a recording of a blown, injected, Top Fuel Hemi making a four second pass down the track...louder in proportion to the throttle opening... Talk about mashing the...

    DB2 Fuel Intake Thread

    That happened to me on a crankshaft...I sent it to be checked and I had previously put it in the block and put the timing chain and sprockets on it to check out the cam phasing...I left the crank sprocket on the crank and handed it over...did not come back. It was a Ford Motorsports timing...
