Hey guys, long time no type. I think my last post was July-ish. My problem first, then the hello's.First off, I haven't been on since July b/c the truck has been running great. About all I've done is changed the oil, driven a lot, and changed the plugs & wires. My front fuel pump is...
i'm trying to sell some running boards that fit on a 92-96 and am wondering what other years are compatiblea guy with an 82(ish) said he found out they won't fit in his 250for a pic, see here
i'm here. haven't posted in over a month. i've been on here and there, just been super busy lately. work, home, etc - lots going on. all good, just no time to get on here or work on the truck.it's doing well - i just got a "new" camper shell this weekend. i'm super excited about it. paid...
i need to check with my wife first, but if she gives me the thumbs up, anyone want to pick this camper shell for me? i'll be in StL in a month, but am afraid it will be gone then.
i got my set of tires for the truck at sears mostly b/c they had a good price on the size i wanted. i paid the extra for the "insurance" or "road hazard" or whatever they call it. my wife needs tires too and i want to know more about their program before i get her tires there too.have you...
i just bought some real tire shine the other day instead of just using the spray armor-all crap. first of all, wow - looks great.but...i swear the stuff is just hair gel. it looks like, smells like it. i think it's a $9 bottle of the stuff i can get at target for $1.50. anyone ever tried it?
if you don't want to reveal, or want to move this thread to the lounge, fine by me.but, if you don't mind, can you guys give us a few stats - i'm nerdy like that.what is the busiest month? slowest?
one day of the week always busier than another?
time of day?any other good info?
interesting study and article herethey basically tested a bunch of NYC cabs with different oil doing oil changes at 6,000 miles. tore the engines down and found virtually no differences in them
i got new, bigger tires saturday (Dunlop Radial Rover AT - $150/ea installed)old ones: stock 235/75/r15
new ones: 265/70/r15by my calculations that's 2.5% different. can i recalibrate my own speedometer & odometer, or does the dealership need to do that? approx cost?so, 2.5% larger means...
it's been happening a lot lately. there is no rhyme or reason when it happens, but it will get really loud (sometimes really quiet).i assume it's the radio itself and not something electrical further down the line. i'm pretty sure i have the old radio from my 97 f250 that i assume will drop...
if i reply to a thread and am the 1st one on a new page, when i hit submit i'm taken to page 2 where i see my post. if i go to another page (user cp), that thread still looks unread. i have to go back in and click "page 2" to make it realize i've seen it.seems to function correctly if my...
my mpgs seem to have reversed latelyi used to get 18 or 19 on the highway, 13ish in town. now it seems to be 16 or so on the highway and 16-18 city.someone please explain. my only thought is the rpms are too high on the highway. i'm at about 1800 going 65. driving in the city i shift...
i usually only drive 2,000 miles or so after 3 months. i'm terrible about doing it after 3 months. usually i end up putting it off until about 4 months.those of you that don't usually hit the 3k mark, how often do you change your oil?
i know it's not ideal, but it's just for a couple months. i don't plan on using 4 wheel drive at all. am i right that if i NEED it for a short distance on slippery ground, it'll be fine.i'm talking a snow covered gravel driveway, muddy trail, etc.front 265's ~ 29.5"
back 235's ~ 28"not...
this problem keeps getting worse.there's been a shimmy that i thought was coming from the rear end. vibrates the truck pretty annoyingly at highway speed. i've paid a lot more attention to it lately and i just noticed that it might be coming from the front.if you slow down from highway...
I'm pretty sure my 1993 Ford F-150 has a 5x5.5 bolt pattern.I'm watching on craigslist for a deal on tires. there are a lot of people that sell new tires AND wheels. i don't really need the wheels, but if i can find a good deal, i won't pass it up.there are a lot of jeep take-offs that...
i'm getting a new clutch put in today.i've only had the truck for a year and hope it's not my fault. it's got 77,000 miles on it, but the old owner bought the truck to pull a camper on weekends (hence low miles). i want to make sure i'm not doing anything wrong.i read some stuff about...
we're supposed to get a good amount of ice today. last night while i was in the driveway and thinking about it, i went ahead and locked the hubs.this morning as i turned out of the driveway it felt really slow and "draggy". it felt like i had to push harder all the way to work.turning...
is there a difference in the dark green vs light green?it looks like if you just have a few "bars", they're all green. once you get to 5 or 6, there are 5 dark and 1 light.once you get a lot, it's like 50/50....very pressing issue
300-6, M5ODi'd say 5% of the time when i start in 1st gear, the whole truck wants to buck or jump. so much so that i assume you could visibly tell from the outside. if i put the clutch in (and shift to second), it stops. the other 95% of the time it's fine.seems to happen the same when...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280297491328#ht_520wt_1682EDIT: drives me crazy. only one interior pic. if the truck is so "mint", why not provide more interior pics.
the problems are never ending it seems like.i went out to start my truck this morning and it wouldn't start. i switched to the front tank (was on the back) and it started just fine.i've been using ONLY the back tank for months b/c the front has it's own set of issues that i prefer not to...
yesterday, my window was icy. i tried for a split second to roll it down. usually i do that, and if there is resistance, i give up. instantly, something broke. whatever it was fell to the bottom of the door.i can hear and feel the motor moving something inside the door up and down, but the...
