Dropped off the truck in Cali on the 8th of may. Just this last friday my dad called me from WA to ask me if i put the old bumpers back on the truck. I told him yes i did and how the hell do you know i put them back on it. Well he was driving north on I-5 and saw the truck up on the trailer being hauled to Seattle port. what are the odds in that happening?

we leave here in two weeks but movers come tuesday so i wont be on line for a while. I will let yall know how it goes when we get to ak. AK ford guy i will call you around the 14th of June to meet up with you.

Well its been a while but ee finally got settled for the most part. Should have enough wood for the winter thank god. Mim tired of cutting wood. Truck is running great. It chews up and spits out the snow pretty darn good. I will post a few pics soon. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped me out when I was in a hard spot. Hopefully I can return the favor soon.

Glad to hear you are getting settled. I hope it wasn't too bad of a move, as far as moves go. Miss you around here, and I found that Albertsons has my beer on this side of town Can't wait for some pics. You guys be safe and tell the family we said hello.

Looking forward to meeting up with u AK FORD GUY.

Still having issues with the truck taking fuel. Have to fill it really slow at the pump. Takes forever to put in ten gallons. Can the vent on the top of the tank go bad?

Does yours have a vent? Mine doesn't have one.

I've got the same issue on mine, I dropped the tank and tilted it so the filler neck (driver side) of the tank was higher than the passenger side and it helped a bit.
