What have i done today, well for starters i started drilling out my ignition cylinder seeings as all the tumblers went to hell in a hand basket (what a pita) then last thursday i got a ticket for usafe ops (accidently stired up some dust while trying not to rear end a corvette (cops are a pita out here in vegas too)

 

put a half a ton of debris in the truck, went to the dump. Tare weight was 6,000 pounds. Awesome. Truck is working for me.....

 

ran the rear tank dry and had to run off fumes of hte front to get to the gas station. fun fun lol

 

Couldn't even drive it today- I have to find a drivers side front axle shaft to replace the one I broke trying to press out a rust-welded U joint Saturday.

The worst part of it is I have to go out searching in my wife's 2001 Dodge Electrical problem (errr... Durango)

Hopefully, I can find new parts at a dealer. I'd rather avoid the boneyards if I can.

 

I got the trim and bumper back from the powdercoater. Mirrors are in for paint. Will wash and post pics next week of the whole thing.

 

I have done the same thing before as well...
Were you switching it between tanks to get the last 500 feet? I was

 

well not today but last couple of days.... i drove the hell outta my truck went muddin a few times haha new fuel filter plugs wires fan belt and did a few KOES/CM home tests

 

Well I sold my '96 Eddie. I still have my 95 though. In place of the Eddie I purchased a very clean 85 Mustang GT. A totally stock, unmolested, no option GT. This is my future 11 second Daily Driver.

For This

 

Well I bought a Black 95 SC XLT today to replace my 94 Red Reg cab SB XL. Best feature is NO RUST !!! very unusual in this part of the country (New England). The truck came from Oregon and is in very good condition. Both trucks have the 300 with the Mazda 5 speed. I'm mostly a Chevy man, my other car is a 94 Caprice wagon, but the 92-96 F150s with the 300 is one of the best truck lines ever made. The old red truck had a busy last day as it had to replace my work truck (service). Its being retired to a scout camp as a site truck.

 

Swapped in a 351W in place of the 302

 

...replaced the 02 sensor...noticed my front fuel tank is leaking!

 

I finally replaced the small coolant hoses/pipes that go from the heater/water pump hose to the throttle body and from the TB to the intake manifold on my 5.0 V8. They are 17 years old and will not stop leaking!! Try asking the parts guy at NAPA for one of these small premolded/preformed hoses and pipes for the truck 5.0!

And am installing/bolting on some neat front tow hooks from Colibert to prepare for the weather snow!!! Never could understand by Henry didnt install factory front hooks on Fseries 4x4s of this vintage---cant pull the chevys ,dodges,dogs and import cars out of the snow ,from the front of the truck, without front hooks!!

 

Replacing tie rod connector today. Fun fun.

 

burried the peg......

 

tried to change upper ball joints.......but could not get the nuts off, will get some penetrant and some heat tommorrow.
