Next command - on the Linux box, post the output of (you'll need to enter your

$ /bin/cat /etc/issue.net

pretty good.

Remember when I said my brakes where worse than yours?




[IMG]http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/pi...ictureid=19733[/IMG]

Bad right?




This is the new truck.

[doug1222556]

I don't see how it's possible for them to get any worse.

Its not, the pistons popped out of the caliper.

Then the pedal went to the floor, then he sold it $1,000 less than it was worth.

[Jmeyer1990]

Yeah, you win haha.
I think you need to mount that on your wall somewhere.

I should have hung it on my wall, I think I already sold it to the scrap yard.

After you just changed just one caliper and had no problems, I tried it and it is great.

soon as I redo the motor I will have it back on the road.

50 miles after I got it the motor blew a head gasket.

[Jmeyer1990]

Well that's not good.
My truck is burning through oil too fast, I can't take it anymore. I parked it for 3 days and I swear the entire motor drained out onto my driveway.

No luck on fixing that leak yet

[doug1222556]

Where is it leaking from Josh?

[Jmeyer1990]

The oil pan.
I replaced the gasket twice now, new bolts, had it checked to make sure it wasn't warped, but still, it leaks like mad.

[doug1222556]

From the front or the back? I'll bet you a nickle the reason you can't fix it is it's not the oil pan but a seal, especially if it's the back.

[Jmeyer1990]

well I know the seal is bad also, but there is a leak on the pan itself. i can wipe the whole pan down, degrease it, and less than half a day later it will be covered in fresh oil.
The leak from the seal isn't all that bad actually, it seemed to have been worse when i got the truck, it's slowed down over time though.
