I figured you were somewhere down here, Michelle. They've been getting rid of all the new roads to make room for newer roads.

 

No, haven't been called back to that company since they lost their military bidding status. There's a long line for those jobs up here lol.

 

I didn't get to watch much of the Fontana Ca. race but I understand Tony Stewart won it ...(wait) ... in a Bass Boat from Bass Pro Shops LOL !!! Sorry I just had to do that We could use the rain, but Ca. is being greedy as usual and keeping it on their side of the mountains.

Donna, are you almost done ... I hope it went well for you !!!

I hope everyone had a great and productive Sunday, mine went as planned ...NOTHING ventured ... Take care ... Dave

 

Hello everyone. It's been a little bit since I was last on here. Life has been crazy busy these past couple weeks, and not all for the better. BUT, here I am still at it, still breathing, still kicking, and now back to working on my old Ford again. Hope y'all had a good weekend. Stay safe out there.

 

Good to see you are still with us!!
Donna needs you to help out with the "good looking lady" duties here.

What is your truck that needs this rare part. I searched my contacts and came up zero! Any way it can be substituted?

My idea would be to check with Skipped Link. His full time thing is repairing Ford Trucks. He might know how to get around the problem.

 

Hi Ford folk, getting a little snow one the mountain this eve. Wonder what tomorrow will look like.

 

Thanks for checking Bruce!

It's the ECM, don't know that there's any getting around that. I sent it out for a rebuild, and they told me not only is is fried beyond repair, they spent a week trying to find a replacement and were unsuccessful. For some reason the ABC version is rare, they had an A or B or C, and I've found some other combinations but not the one I have .

It's raining down here.

 

Good Monday Morning NV, hava good day everyone....

 

Good morning all. We got snow. Just a little but the world is white right now.

Donna, what truck do you have? Maybe you could use a different ECM by swapping out some other parts to make it compatible? Surely there is a way.

 

Mornin' all!

Donna - Congrats again on the house. I'm sure that even if you were freezing, you were happy!

Well, we had a fairly successful yard sale this past weekend. I was still hoping to get rid of most of our big stuff so I didn't have to move it when we move again, but there is always craigslist (which its all up there now. LOL). But Sat was pretty good and we had a lot of visitors and a few decent buyers. Sun was pretty dead though. Then, when I went to take our signs down at the end of the day, I found out that someone had ripped most of our signs down already. No wonders why we didn't have as many visitors on Sun! Some people are just morons. Oh well, we still did pretty well and I just got rid of 2 other things a moment ago off of CL, so we can't complain.

No rain here. It was supposed to rain this morning (Mon), but it's bright and sunny with no clouds.

I'm supposed to shoot a Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational golf tourney this weekend in North Las Vegas, but haven't heard anything about my creds yet. Plus, Fri I'm supposed to go to Streets of Willow and take my R1 (motorcycle) and do a instructional class with it by Reg Pridmore (it's his CLASS class). I can't wait! So, I have to prep the bike this week for that.

So, it's going to be a busy week. I'm also hoping to hear something about a couple of jobs this week too.

Everyone have a great day!

 

Only thing I can suggest would be a junkyard. maybe somebody knows of one that specializes in Ford parts.

Good (unhappy) Monday Morning Nevada!

Took my Ford down to where my Brother-in-Law works and was able to use their lift and air tools to pull the third member out.

Sadly it was in more than one piece. The Pinion Bearing housing broke off and was sitting in the bottom of the housing along with a lot of little metal pieces.

Although I did finally get to make use of the Toyota!



New housing is on the way so at least I have a plan of attack.

Lets have a great week!

Eh...get out some duct tape and you'll be good to go.

 

Don't forget the baling wire.

Jim

 

That's how I'm going to plug the hole in the Oil Pan. Think it should work...

Good point...May be using that to fix the brakes.
