Jump started it and took it for a decent drive for the first time in a few weeks. Man do I miss driving the thing... Here is an update for you guys.

 

In shop for new rear tank fuel pump. Those Ford pumps are expensive as heck!

 

Mine's in the shop for a rear break job the parking break on the passenger drive wouldn't release Monday after sitting Sunday " note to self drive truck on Sunday" so because I sent it to the shop I'm having them fix the drivers side interior door so it will open without having to drop the window and opening it from the outside anymore. Right now I'm stuck driving the company chev.

 

Glad you kept it Evan, I know if I got rid of mine I'd be regretting it my whole life.

 

If ya order off of Amazon and can wait a day or two, you can get em for around $70 shipped. Thats what I did because like you said, the parts stores had them for $100+

 

Finally installed new audio system.

 

I had a great day. Put a new master cyl. for clutch on my 1996 F-250
and it went great. Found out on this forum how to put it on quick and to bleed it quick. Have one U-joint that is iffy, so think I will put it on in the morning.

 

I stalled all new shocks and steering stabilizer. Have new mounting hardware and a old shock still in good order. While under the truck noticed i meed to fix a freeze plug. And still waiting on my new oil pan and gasket to come in. Have a decent leak coming from my botched oil drain plug (from previous owner)

 

Finally got the time to install my new Eaton Truetrac in the rearend of my '96 F250 4X4.

Install went good, was kinda heavy putting it in by myself. Went back in field and played around in 2wd after I got done and it helped ALOT!!!

 

Redhead steering gear and M5OD shifter bushing kit into my newly acquired 1996 F150. And a new fuel filter.

 

ran the **** out of her then starred at and caressed her thinking thank God your not a Chevy

 

Found out that I need to replace my rear end... Damnit..

 

Drove from wyoming to Minnesota yesterday, 860 miles of, well, boredom. Made it safely so today I'll start on my flatbed project, have the whole week off for this and thanksgiving. Even with the 33x10.5r15 tires I had ok fuel economy. 17.8mpg over 250 miles with a wicked tailwind, then 16mpg with less tailwind, and 15mpg with no tailwind at about 65mph (used to get about 17mpg under these conditions with the small stock tires). Interstate through south dakota I was getting impatient, went 75mph and got 13-13.5mpg.

 

I finished the back of my lift kit yesterday and installed the shocks.i may reroute my exhaust because it's dumping right into the shock.

Planning out my next run of stuff.
