    Hey Folks, been a while. Need tanks

    Hey Galute; Thanks much for the quick reply. Got any idea which tanks are which? My tanks are both done. My front one is gone altogether, and my rear is leaking like it didn't matter, and the mounts are all rusted to death. Senders are prolly all shot too.

    Hey Folks, been a while. Need tanks

    for my F250. It's 69oiler's old standard cab. The rust is just tearing me up. Sat pretty much all winter with bad brake lines, finally got them all replaced and have a fellow who loves these trucks keeping an eye out for a set of tanks for me. But I am so sick of dealing with rotting...

    broken tie rod end

    Passenger side, freaked me out pretty bad. Fortunately I was lugging around on the lane doing road work when it happened. I was able to get it off the road, so i wasn't blocking the lane. Man, what would have happened if I were out on the hiway, I don't even want to think. that said, any...

    Rob; You already know my take on tires, 'What did the engineers who designed the machine say?" :)

    front axle bump stop clearance.

    Thanks all for the replies. Yeah, about 1-1/2" On the side that's downhill when parked sideways on the grade :)

    front axle bump stop clearance.

    on my new-old 86 (courtesy the good 69oiler) I'm trying to figure out if that 1-1/2" or so I have for bump stop clearance is correct. I haven't found any 4x4 f250s of this vintage around to look at that aren't lifted sky-high. What should I be seeing for clearance up there? thanks in...

    Should have a 'no start' forum-category

    To all: Got back to the truck saturday, and had another go at it. I carefully checked all the glowplug connections for anything obvious, couldn't find anything that looked out of sorts, 'glowed' it for 10 secs, no start, but white smoke as before after 10 seconds of cranking. so at...

    Thanks Agnem; That's where I'll start when I get back to the truck next weekend.

    Mech, Dunno, Yup, 6.9 Replacing money is the easy part. Ccs, DL, etc, that's the irritating bit.

    Should have a 'no start' forum-category

    That said; Just so I'm clear: I had the 'shuttle the truck' trip from hell weekend before last, The good natured 69oiler/Rob got me started off on the trip in good style, it was an adventure! Anyway, halfway through the trip I figured out that the WD40 smell was in fact, hot raw...

    $4.20 for diesel

    Towcat; I hear ya too. I am no fan of 'there oughta be a law' either. Not in the slightest. If you feel you can afford it, but all means go for it, but I really feel the onus needs to be on the faster vehicle on the highway, not the slower vehicle, to operate in a reasonable and proper fashion...

    $4.20 for diesel

    jimmys f250; I hear ya too, but like I said earlier, I don't see any actual shortages anywhere, do you?

    $4.20 for diesel

    Mel; Yeah, I hear that! The *only* thing I can figure, is that folks are fueling up by swiping a card, and not digging for cash. But man, -no offense anyone, I know there are real working folks here- a lot of the larger trucks I see are just literally grocery getters, and they have no concept...

    $4.20 for diesel

    86F3504x4; I could buy that argument if I saw any evidence of an actual shortage. For those of you who remember the 70s know what I am talking about. I keep hearing about short supply/long demand, and if these is the case, why is no one *not* having any trouble finding fuel? Seems there is...

    NEWVO

    BTW, this guy did reply to my Email yesterday, so, without knowing more, I'll guess he's quite legit. We're trying to nail down how I can hook up with one of his drivers, so, when I actually buy some of his product, then I'll know for certain.

    NEWVO

    Okay, I dug around in the site some, and found a phone number, called it, and talked to the fellow, he's legit. Seems he's just really getting set up. He has facilities in Pennsburg, Pa, and up near Allentown, Pa. He did have a place down around Fairfax, Va, but is giving that up. He has...

    NEWVO

    I just emailed these smarterfuel.com folks, we'll see what they say. I notice they don't bother detailing what 'most areas' means. Here's to hoping for the best, I think $2.50 a gallon for wvo is a rip off, but $2.50 a gallon for pre-processed fuel ain't too bad.

    F150 up for grabs

    was going to 'donate' it. It's my 'logging' truck. High range doesn't behave. low range works fine. F300 six 4 spd, dunno which one. But I expect it's a T19, granny. Body/bed is really really rough, as is the interior. But it does run, and runs really well. Since I just shook hands on the...
