Little boys must be some good drivers, they have been kicking some blue oval butt quite regularly! Quite a few for ford as well, found on road dead, found on road dinkingoff, etc. etc. etc. doesn't mean much that someone can make a rhime. If my truck was Ford powered, it wouldn't be my truck. Also never had to fix a firewall, headlight wires, ignition switch that about burnt the truck up, tailight wiring etc., gotta love those high quality factory gauges, poor grounds etc. 
in my BowTies. Have had to fix about every Ford part on this truck - damn shame they didn't wrap the IH in something better, seems such a waste. Blue Oval = 
in my book!
Here is a picture of my latest dealing with a Ford/Mercury - this truck IS my last Ford. This is my wife's 1994 production dated 1995 titled Mercury Sable. 11 Years old and check out this quality!

Just an update.Should be picking the E up Monday.Friday they had the Engine in,Just put the radiator,Fan,belts,etc installed and were just about finished with the turbo when I had to drag ass off to the salt mine.Also,Bought a nice Cast Iron Locomotive bell with air operated Clapper from a buddy of mine for $50 saturday and Today(sunday) I bought a Wig Wag box for my ditch Light setup...Didn't get the compressor mount built due to the boss men stuck around for a little longer than I wanted.

Oh yea,Travis,Was the AC condensor damaged before I got it?There was a spot that looked like an engine had been dragged across the back side.Not sure if it was like that before or after I got it.

don't remember anything like that but then again I had the engine out so many times it wasn't funny... So it could have gotten banged on one occasion or another but I don't remember off the top of my head... I doubt it was like that because I typically always just about stripped the engine completely before yanking it to gain as much room as possible but again could have been...

Roger that.You would remember this one.Good 12 inch long drag mark pretty deep.Guessing these guys did it.Screw it.They took this long getting it finished so I think I will cut my losses and fix it myself.Besides,a condensor is pretty cheap at a junk yard when you have my connections.

oh yea,why was there 4 Autolite,1 Champion,2 unmarked and 1 Beru Glow plug in the Enterprises engine?
Ouch! Was the system ruptured?Freight_Train said:
If so, I think it's a fair bet these guys did it...IIRC Travis likes his a/c and the a/c on the E was working before the last meltdown...
Can't speak for him
but that's at least what I remember...

could have been anything in those holes because the heads I tossed on where the ones that shop threw together and lord only knows what they filled the holes with - check the other heads they will either be Beru or Wellman brands. Nothing else...

Nah,Just BS ya on the glow plugs(I HOPE!!!!).I haven't even checked them.I didn't get to pick the E up today dang it.But I did get to hear it run.....OUCH.Appears this bunch doesn't know how to time a diesel.WAY advanced.Lots of Fuel knock but it did fire and run pretty good.OH well,Will give me a good reason to finish my 1480.Got an email that my Ditch Lights are on their way via UPS.Should be here wednesday.Hopefully I will have the York bracket built tomorrow so i can get to plumbing the Horns and Bell controls.

Didn't get to respond to the other comment because I had to split pretty quick this afternoon...
While you folks are attending the IDI Weekend I will be thinking of you all whilst I'm soaking up the sun out on the water singing "Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of Rhum" but if it makes you feel better I'll probably get a sun burn on parts of my body that haven't seen the sun in a long long long time :Sly
