Josiah, the 6.2L ticking noise and transmission slip still, the tick was "repaired" in April but it's always ticked and is getting worse plus that intermittent noise associated with the purge canister, and it's been re-flashed twice for the transmission.

Keyul I got it at Whaling City... between my late father, his parents, his sister, and more recently my mother and her fiance', sales and service at that dealer date back about 20 years and on. The last 7 or 8 vehicles bought in my family alone came from there. I'm about to take it to Valenti to be honest... I've heard good things about their service. Whaling City somehow didn't find the same issue twice with one thing and failed to look up the latest TSB update (which I mentioned no less than four times) including the solenoids needing to be changed on trucks made before I think 10/10... mine's from 3/10.

I brought my truck there for a cam position sensor which BTW is a recall, and their comments is needs shocks and transmission is leaking.
Well, yah it needs shocks, a frame, transfer case leaking (not tranny). shall we make a real list it's a 97. This was just a year ago. But their parts dept is real good.
I'm still wondering why Ford never sent me anything about the Cam Position Sensor??? I bought the truck new in 98. I'm the only owner.

That trench digger you posted, I don't think they are adequate for ledge, just stony ground.
It woulnd't fit around the house anyways, I'd have to move some really big bolders first to make way. Also there is no way for it to straddle the existing trench.
The video was nice - TY.
Pete:
Ya, I think I really need to cut through the ledge.
With the way the ledge seems to run, I suspect that the corner of the house is in a pocket.
I want to get the water out of that pocket as the corner of the house is on a field stone foundation there and I suspect freeze / thaw is what popped the cement out of the stone wall.
The grand scheme is to replace the field stone foundation with cinder block and go all the way down to the ledge.
When I trenched along the wall from where the ledge is exposed I discovered that the field stone wall only goes down a couple feet (1930's house) and in places the wall is floating on dirt just above the ledge.
I don't know if the beam along the top of the field stone foundation is rotted and would give way should I try to open up the field stone to get cinder blocks mortared into place.
I have all this time on my hands and no money.

Hi Kyle:I don't know, they haven't said how long it can take.
All I know is that they are running my application through their vetting process.
I hope that should I have I failed their exam that they would have said something already, but then again maybe the person who grades the exam hasn't gotten around to mine.
My guess is that they are running me through the Department of State security stuff and won't give me an offer letter until the DoS gives the all's ok.
Even though I have a Department of Defense clearance (that's good because you can't even apply for the position without some government agency security clearance), DoS still has to do their own thing and issue me a DoS security clearance. (And vise versa with DoS cleared people going to DoD job.)

We usually shore everything up very well before attacking field stone. It dose come down very quick when the mortar has failed.

dave- if you can get the machine back there it will go through whatever you want, with the exception of metal.
for more power and speed you can get one mounted to an excavator.
