I should pick up the axles from you Zack. Might be cool to have later model f250 stuff under the bronco.

Someone would have to buy the truck before I sell just the axles rich unless you want my old 8.8.

I'm going to Tony's in the morning if anyone wants to join. 99% of my crew canceled on me. Will be there at about 7 am.

That sucks John, my new ecu will be here tomorrow for the Frankenbee. I bought a VDH5 to see if that will fix some of the codes and some of my shifting issues since I was running the ecu from the 2000 plugged into and controlling the wiring and modules of a 2002. Anolog vs the new digital. They screwed up and sent me a new idm from the same truck as well so I will probably sell that as well as the old ecu.

Well if you aren't working and want to meet at Tony's. 7 am I'll be in Big Red. Probably will have a green Marines jacket on too.

Well I'm at work with a laundry list of crap to do. None of what I feel like doing but it's got to get done by Monday. Looks like I'll be working another Sunday once again. Next week I'm taking 2 days off!

I would have came if I was closer that way. I will be in Romulus on Monday over at Lee Steel I guess they are shutting the doors and we bought most of there lines. Have to go pull the programs off of the PLC's and Drives before they get powered down.

Brakes on the car are done this morning now just waiting on the USPS delivery to see what the new ecu on the truck does.

Must have been a big car show in Birch run this weekend, tons of them were headed north and stopped at Tony's.

Nice!

Well I got the new ECU in and it is magic! I now have a full working dash, my cruise works again, no more flashing overdrive.

Just need to track down some oil seepage and trams seepage and get my f6 reprogrammed for the new ECU!

Don't fret to much Andrew, it's just sweating horsepower.

Cut the muffler of the big truck today and put a pipe in its place. All that work for a sound you only hear when you're a foot from the tailpipe.

So have you diesel guys ever heard of putting .5-1 ounce of 2 stroke fluid in per gallon of fuel?

Yep. Don't waste your money there's no solid proof that it does anything. With my 7.3 I ran A LOT of W85
