    Who's smarter?

    I couldn’t agree more! That’s why I drive old junk and am happy with it. On the other side of the coin, boy howdy is her F-150 ever livin’ nice. I don’t need all the doo-dads, but the seats!!! I love the seats!! Oh and how quiet it is at speed. And it’s ability to switch to NORMAL CC :rotflmao...

    Who's smarter?

    To add to it, the wife’s X-2022 suburban (thank God that’s gone!!) wouldn’t shift outta P until you buckled your seat belt. cookoo What if I gotta move it 20’ in the driveway....come on GM......and yes I know there’s a work around.... And Adaptive CC.....I absolutely hate it. Sure maybe it...

    Fuel tick/knock

    This, I was 100% sure I had an injector issue, specific rpm range, the whole 9 yards. Tried to cure with ATF. Was under the van one day and soot marks at a crack in the Y pipe. Huh....did I feel dumb. Stopped worrying and let the soot plug it up. I’ll worry again when the exhaust drags down the...

    Someone go get it!!!

    @Black dawg thanks!! He wants to see some photos of my burb. When I deliver on those I will ask for more photos of his. Although I’m not sold I’m going to trade. Will only do it straight across, not adding money on my end. But my burb can haul my family comfortably at 80 mph and we have a...

    Someone go get it!!!

    Spoke with him, real nice fellow. Bought it from an ex Ford mechanic that worked at Glenwood Ford. That Ford mechanic did all the swapping, he would see it run around ans then bought it off the estate. Put new ZD-9’s from Napa in. Dana 44 front. Dump bed works, boards were just rotten. Big...

    @Jesus Freak i completely agree. And actually write some info so I don’t have to play 20 questions. But man the 70’s Ford pickups just look so rugged and tough to me!! I’m sure it prolly has a 4-spd and 4.10’s. Wonder if it has a Dana 60. Good thing the closest 75 mph speed limit is 2.25 hours...

    Did you replace the thermostat? Maybe it’s doing a better job of keeping the engine up to temp......? I have no clue, just throwing an idea out.

    Why are you worried about Mtn passes? I would think your van with beetle in tow would be less burdensome on a trans than your MH..... I must be missing something.

    3.07 diffs & np435?

    Was just watching this, love station wagons, but noticed the build sheet at 6:56. 400 2v V-8, C6, and 2.47 rear gear!! I assume 27” tires. I think yours with 31’s, and the granny 4 would be a great all around pickup. When you starting the project?

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Do you plan to travel more this coming summer since you are more mobile than when you had the MH?

    Could you Sleeve down an old crusty 7.3 to run 6.9 pistons???

    Would that cure cavitation concerns and give you the larger head bolts...win win? I don’t know about journal sizes between crank/rod and rod/piston but I’m sure it’s surmountable. I’m already punching above my pay grade.

    U joint troubles

    What about drivetrain mounts, engine-trans etc. coupled with the comments above? Is it a harsh downshift from 4-3 causing it? Would a 1-piece be an upgrade? Way too expensive..? Does t answer your question. Good luck!

    3.07 diffs & np435?

    Heck to take it further cause now you got me drinkin’ and dreamin’ I’d love to convert our c10 to manual steering and brakes just for the sake of simplicity. And drop a 6.2 diesel in it to putt around in. But that prolly sounds dumb to most. And it currently just works so well. Front edge...

    Project Stress Test

    Circa 2016, wife’s phone (iPhone 6 or 8) went for a swim down the toilet on a plane. We hadn’t taken off yet..... They fished it out and 10 minutes later here comes about 4 ziplock bags holding this blue liquid and a phone that was still working. My wife was able to shut it off. Got to our...
