Small claims for a couple of simple fixes? What a moron. For $800 I'd just let it keep leaking. Sounds like a perfect candidate for a drag truck conversion.

If his shop owning buddy were smart, he'd buy it for $800, fix it, then sell it for profit.

i agree, 800 bucks, what to lose? just let it leak or sell it, it his because of his own mechanical incompetence that he bought the truck and didn't know what to check before the purchase.

Notice that it did not knock or click until he stuck a freeze plug into the inspection hole on the bottom of the bell housing? the torque converter was probably hitting the freeze plug he stuck in there and that was the knocking.

OHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..........that is just sadddddd!!!, man that is just plain sad.

No one is born with a wrench in their hand but come on, we have the internet and books and people, I'm just amazed at all of the bad answers the poor guy received from users with more than a 1000 posts........I remember why this is the best ford truck site on the web now

my favorite quote... "The body is strong." Boy, I sure am glad the body is strong, I wish my truck had a strong body

and people laughed at me when i considered going to small claims court over the leaky valve cover gasket on my 82, with 220,000 miles.

What a whino, you bought a beater, one should expect it to have beater-like problems.

I did spend some time looking around their site, kind of sad compaired to what we have here

It is more f150-specific. That is why I check both sites when I have a problem.

THe thing that i find funny, is that the autoparts store told him to put a freezeplug in his bellhousing. That led to the noise he encountered afterwards.

Sue over a running $800 truck? I bought my 1971 F-100 for $800 and it had to come home on a flat bed and it took well over 100 hours just to make it driveable. Guy is a mor-on-ee.
