I suppose you see plenty of that out there in the left coast lol

 

I think the left coast invented it lol

 

Im still driving it... I dunno why I dislike driving the Harley so much. Iv never owned such a nice truck and not drove it lol.

And yea Im gonna scrap em. I found out Saturday theyre not all 40 horse like I initially thought. Ones a 40, ones a 10, and the other is a 7.5 horse. I gave the 7.5 to my uncle as a thank you for using his ditch witch, the 10 horse is locked up tight and the 40 horse is already disassembled. The motor used as a crane to dump the trucks is a 5 horse itself! Some heavy machinery in this place!

Every since you mentioned using the truck dumper motor as a replacement A-frame, Iv REALLY been considering it lol

 

I would think those old motors would bring a healthy chunk of change in scrap, lots of copper.

Still no bites on the V-10?? The right one will come along.

By The Way, happy Monday everyone...YAY!!!! lol.

 

The only happy fact about this Monday is I only have a day and a half left in this work week lol...

 

nah, that stuff stays alive and well in New York and the likes of those places. Nothing but hotrods, surfing, and skating out here

 

Well, that and the fact that I just saw that you're today's "Featured Garage" on FTE! Congrats, buddy. Hopefully that's good for a t-shirt or sticker or something, lol.

 

What? Huh? I had no idea of this - must go investigate...

Edit to add: Found it - they need better pictures of where the truck is now though...

 

An pics of the OBS... You have pics of the pretty one, but don't forget the muscle!

Now, go update your garage!

 

If I knew how, I would lol.

Those pix of the truck are SOOOOOO old...hahaha. And I don't even own the Explorer anymore...

 

Shhhh! They might hear you and take away your "prize" lol.

 

LOL...

I do want to update that piece though, it wouldn't be right not to. Besides, gotta get the tOwBS in there too...lol.

 

Not to take away from your glory Bill buuuut....

My truck seems to not wanna start too well. I decided to winter prep it with a set of new 850 CCA Motorcraft batteries, a new glow plug relay, and tested all 8 glow plugs to make sure they work. The dern thing still seems doggy to start, if that makes sense. Im not sure if I have a bad connection or a short somewhere? In the mornings, itll crank slow, and pull the batteries so low the alternator belt squeals. My volt meter will read in between 8 and the first letter of whatever it reads on the gauge. Its irritating to spend $400 and it still hesitate to start...

 

Time for a new starter.

 

Not stealing my thunder man...lol...

I agree with this. Had a gas truck that did the same thing. Changed battery, solenoid, some other parts, but it was the starter that wasn't up to snuff.
