So what did you do with your truck today?
- Thread starter GOOSE
- Start date
LMC parts showed up, had enough to qualify for free shipping, unfortunately ran into more problems and need more parts...... Apparently Ford changed ignition boxes between 80 & 82. Both have two plug connectors however they're different. 82 has plugs with four pins & two pins vs 80 has three & two. Also discovered the 1980-81 door panels are the only years with a "slide lock" design. I assumed these would be provided with the new $200 & something dollar door panels (they're not)! So now I'm looking for good used ones because LMC does not list. This truck is fighting me from every angle!

My weekend went sideways fast on multiple levels. Regarding the truck, I heard what sounded like a loose / partially opened window rattle. Turns out the seal at the base of my windshield gave out and the window flexes now! Wanted to wait until paint to pull it (cracked anyway) but guess that moves up on the list.
On a side note in my haste to go down the basement steps, I managed to break my toe. crutches and walking boot for 2 weeks, walking boot for additional 2 weeks. Did I mention I demoed a deck that I am supposed to build this coming Saturday...

Took the truck to do karate mom stuff because the ac is so cold. A nice young man asked me if my bumper sag was on purpose....
Guess that's next on the list hahaha

Got a load of gravel for the driveway last weekend. Asked for 2,000 - 3,000 lbs... they gave me 3,500. Yay nothing broke!
Changed my prefilter before my FSV. Light had been coming on when running the rear tank. Crawled under there and the filter was wet. I could blame it on the cheap $3 filter but I was running unfiltered waste hydraulic oil in that tank so it was probably plugged anyway lol.
Funny how if you listen you can hear the difference switching tanks between the oil mix abd straight diesel.

The pump definitely changes pitch depending on what’s going through it.
As does your timing

I'm guessing that would be a result of the viscosity difference on the pump internals?
Yep exactly, you’ll notice a similar change in pitch by pushing in the advance arm while at idle
Putting in work.
In between rain storms anyway.
Motor is making me nervous. It runs fine sounds okay at speed, oil pressure good but at idle it sometimes sounds funny. It may be time for some exploratory surgery as much as I don’t want to.
