Had a heater hose blow out on me. Replaced them and a new thermostat. Also changed my spark plugs, well 7 of them. It started to rain pretty heavy. I will do the last one on Saturday or Sunday.

I think its #8 the one close to the fire wall on drivers side, I have to change it from under side. It pretty much kicks my butt.

Took the 90 to town and had it sliding sideways in 4x4. Turns out street tires don't do the best in mud.

I just changed mine on my 7.5L and was able to get all of them from the top. The issue I had was the stupid heat shield getting in the way of the socket for the plugs.

 

I wish I had a newer computer.

I use a 2 1/2" extension on the passenger side and a 3" on the drivers side. Can you just bend the heat sheild down a little bit?

I don't think I have every been to Snowflake atleast not sober. We got at least a 1/2 of rain. We use to stay up at Greer and hit the ski resort in the late 1980's. My wife and her sister would ski everyday, but me and brother in law would go 4wheeling with my 1965 F250 and his 1964 F150 both 4x4. What great times they were.

 

Their are defiantly a few good offroading spots around here. LOL


Forgot to mention dad noticed that the steering is a little wore out on the 90. Guess he was so used to his 86 F150 that he use to have that had the same problem he never even noticed. When I last drove it I figured he knew it was like that. Oh well can't complain considering technically I got the truck for free and have a little more then $300 wrapped up in it and it has a great body overall (every straight truck I have found has dents in the tailgate). Gonna have to inspect exactly what is wrong when I put the trans filter in it.

Yes, you can bend the heat shield. That's what I had to do. The hardest part is getting the new plug started. I used two 1" extensions and had just enough space. Was even able to get a torque wrench on it.

 

What kind of intervals are you changin your plugs at? Like mileage?

 

went for a drive up in the beautiful mountians of north idaho today.

 

Removed my air helper springs, since one had a hole in it. Realised that PO (had the truck for almost a year) has its lift blocks on backwards.....awesome

 

I replaced my hood, hood popper cable, hood latch and springs and hinges. Just got the truck a few weeks ago and the hood latch was funky from the start, it flew open on me on the third day driving it and got all bent and broke the springs.

Got a nice little surprise though at 8 pm just as it was starting to rain that the 94 flareside from the junkyard that I got the hood from has the hole that the latch goes into half an inch closer then my old one. So I got out the angle grinder and went to town and got it too close finally.

 

Installed a light bar

 

I watched it cruise over the hill on I95 headed to it's new home in Virginia.

Farewell Brutus.

 

Looks good man, do you have anymore pics of that interior?

 

Yeah if you click on my user name, I have more pics of the interior

 

It looks good, I've been thinking about adding some more black to my interior so I've been looking around for some ideas.

Did you do the headliner in leather? looks cool.
