I kinda felt like the guy screwed him but, in his eyes, he was a friend and he was $500 richer. Cant blame him I guess

I really liked my ol 460. I got 11.5 mpg religiously. Not great, but not bad for a cheap truck. Reg cab, long bed, 460, automatic, 4wd, 3.55s. After the tranny went out twice... in 3 months... I sold it for next to nothing and swore against the E4OD.

My V10 was great in the winter months also. Never got stuck and with all 10 cylinders pumping, it got warm quick!

And to further get off track, has anyone else heard of/seen the 2016 Bronco?

 

My wife wants one.

 

Depending on how the 2015 F-150s look (since they'll have the same front end) will depend on if I like them lol. The pics look pretty dang good though! Im thinking about saving up for one lol

 

Is this a thing now? Because past times I've heard of it, it's been an April Fools joke...

I'd LOVE to see the Bronco come back though, as long as it's done right and isn't a "mom-mobile" type of SUV like the Explorer turned into.

 

Im sure its just a concept for now and Ford is testing the waters. One guy on Facebook said he works at a Ford dealership and they ARE coming out with it.

But they cant put anything on the internet that isn't true! Especially Facebook posts

Im with you. Id LOVE to see Ford come back out with the Bronco. As long as they don't go crazy on the redesigning like they did with the Pontiac GTO, current Ford Explorer, and make it unrecognizable

 

Yeah, if it made it to the intertubez it has to be true lol. I've seen FB postings about it too, where guys are saying it's legit.

I think there's a market for a capable SUV on the lines of the Jeep JK series by the other manufacturers, and the Bronco would fit right in to that. I hope they do it and are true to the Bronco's roots. I still want to build one. Hell, my potential project list is 3 miles long lol...

 

Alright boys, my (now) mamas super duty is leaking oil. Running down the back of the block. I hoped on top of the motor and the front of the valley has diesel in it but no oil so it has to be leaking somewhere near the back of the block.

It's leaking pretty decent. About the size of my fist in 15-20 minutes

Any ideas

 

I've got nothing off the top of my head, JP. Back of the block screams main seal at first, but I am not sure. That's a lot of oil to drip out quickly.

I've got leaky stuff happening too. Looks like something around my PS pump - the entire driver's side of the pumpkin on the front axle is wet...

 

Take a look at the oil rail plug in the back of the head. The o-ring goes bad sometimes.

 

Or the pedestal O rings.

 

My luck strikes again. My mom sent me a text while I was at work saying it was the front main seal on the trans. Fan-fricken-tastic

Been there, done that, same basic transmission. I feel like I just mentioned earlier today how much I hate the E4OD (and now it's brother the 4R100)

There's just something about pulling an entire transmission to fix an $8 part that is so IRRITATING!!!

 

Your mom must be a great mechanic! LOL

 

I need a mom like that

 

She was relaying the message lol. My step dad is the one who found it

And to add to my depression, Ford came out yesterday and released some more info on the 2016 Bronco. Turns out, its the Ford SVT Bronco... You can get it with a 5.0 Coyote, a 6 cyl Powerstroke (supposedly), and a new supercharged engine.

They say it should cost about what a Raptor costs... So no common folk is gonna be buying em, just like the Raptor

 

Imagine that. Oh wait...new vehicles are out of control on prices. My house cost less than a raptor...how on gods green earth would I afford one to sit in my garage...just vehicles for the rich and famous.
