My '87 only has front brakes. Was a blast this winter. But, really, who uses brakes anyway?

 

Dual Chambered master cylinders are a wonderful thing. If you had the old fruit jar master cylinder, you would've had a fun ride...trust me.

 

well i dont use brakes that much, but i have a manual, so i can see it being a problem in an auto.....
whats a fruit jar master cylinder? single cylinder ms?

 

Tinted my back window today. Wasn't too hard...

 

Had my a/c fixed along with radiator cap, fan clutch and flushed the radiator. Find out Monday how well she works cuz I'll be on the road about 150 mi.

 

Got pulled over for not stopping at a stop sign. I did stop as it I was pulling out on to a state highway so the cross traffic doesn't have to stop and I had to wait for a car to go by. Only got a warning. It was a great day.

 

My tailpipes were starting th rust so i painted them with some alum color paint i had laying around

 

yep, a single, when one brake line goes, they all go... sucks when it happens as your stopping at an intersection

 

i bet

 

I picked up a 91 F150 4x4 xlt lariat last Sunday. 136k miles PS, PL( not working), A/C ( inop), auto. Body is straight, paint is junk on the hood. Came with a nice Aluminum diamond plate tool box, bed rails, and bed liner. Cost??? 2,000.

Drove it home and replaced plugs, wires, cap, rotor, battery ( had a marine battery) air filter, pcv, and gave it a good cleaning.

Has several leaks, valve cover, oil pan, rear main seal ( i think) I degreased and power washed but had to fly back to Korea so other items will wait.

Plan on a tranny flush, change diff fluid and transfercase fluid and some 30x9.5 MTs. Should make a damn good beater/ fishing and hunting truck.

This should keep me entertained tinkering on it when I retire from the Army this December!

Any suggestions or ideas are welcome.

GT4660:

If you have any pictures of the truck-be sure to post them here. I would also suggest replacing the oxygen sensor with that mileage of 136k. Can make a difference in the throttle response and MPG. My 96k F150 perked up with a new OS.

I would also suggest 31" tires and not the 30"ers. 31s should fit without a problem even on a stock 91 F150.

 

I took of the bug deflector and the window deflectors today. I like the way it looks more and the window deflectors were stopping me from opening the vent windows all the way.

 

put all new grade 8 bolts in my seats today.

and i picked up a nice in-bed toolbox.

 

Let my B.I.L. use my Raven (Friday) while his '07 is in the shop for tranny issues. And now I'm having anxiety attacks. I'm sure he will treat her with care, but as you guys out there know, it's like when your daughter goes to the prom...When I get her back, we will go on a nice long ride in the country. (I will do anything to help my family, but when the situation leaves an empty spot in front of the house, well...) Am I over-reacting?
I am worried

Repainted my roof, the original paint was faded out and starting to get some small rust spots
