Well Sean,

After getting the Full Sized Bronco Back, I am batting a 1000 on Headlights. Both F-250s are still serviceable, but needing replacement. I took the polish kit to the lights on the Bronco and the lense on the Passenger side was moving all over the place like it had detached from the housing and the Driver’s side had Condensation in it, along with the Driver’s Corner light having a Hole in it.

Move the Bronco to the head of the line with Windshield to be followed by a set of Tony’s Lamps. Factory replacements that I could find with a 4+ star rating were running at almost 3 bills per side for the HEADLIGHT!

Unfortunately we are down to one item every other month since we had to put a new E4OD and Dana 44 (rear) in it. Thankfully the 6.0 and 5.4 are both in good running shape at this time.

BTW, I don’t even have an Evilbay account.

i dont know which is worse. The fact that it was a $91 fill up, or the pump reading 666 when i was finished.

I ordered a Leece Neville 230Amp alternator with underdrive pulley from FICM repair. Should I have better chosen an overdrive pulley?

Not unless you are plowing a lot, winching, or have an insane sound system 😉

I have a 6.0 camper with about three times the battery capacity as an original truck, hence the consideration.

Don't know if Jack will happen across your Q Hartwig - iirc he ran the LN with both pulleys and can likely advise you. My understanding is the smaller pulley really only helps at low rpms....

The L-N with the stock sized pulley will output 180a at cold idle. If you go with the smaller pulley you will get 230a at start.

How much you need really depends on the battery absorption rate, and of course, how deeply discharged they are. That's variable depending on your situation.

And I did this in less than 2,000 words.

I can't believe it less than 2000 words from Jack.

Yes, but if he uses 2000, you want to pay attention... And any current cat pictures?!

Lets see I do have two new kitties to join the herd of cats.

Pán and Athena
Pán is the black one. He is named after the God Pán
In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Pan (/pæn/; Ancient Greek: Πάν, romanized: Pán)
is the
god of the wild, shepherds and flocks, nature of mountain wilds, rustic music and impromptus, and companion of the nymphs.

His color is black with black spots and called Melanistic.
Athena is silver color.


BTW Pán is going to be a big cat. He is over 11 lb at 9 months old. Also he eats like a horse.

Gandalf the Grey. Litterally appeared out of nowhere next to me while working in the flower bed.

I try to limit myself to 1,438, but that's a lot of typing and the fingers get tired. Narration, well that's another story.
