i remember watching the video of that dodge folding.
the idiot was doing a tug of war against a big engine jacked up truck and decided to even the field by making his attach point 3 foot above the bed floor after attaching everything to the frame.
in the bed was 5 1400 lb concrete blocks for traction weight.
the combination of the truck pulling in 4X4 and the high pull point folded it like a napkin

 

Unrelated to 6 door cabs or dodge trucks but...

my dipstick adapter started leaking! NO!!!!

I bought a new one when I swapped the first 7.3 in last year, and re-used the same oil pan. I tightened the adapter up which has slowed the leak a lot, but I'm sure it'll start leaking more now that this happened.

What am I going to do with my life now!? It had 0 leaks as well!

 

PM me if you want one of these... https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...er-repair.html

 

Even though the gold nugget is good, I backed it up with the famous grey stuff. Still DRY!

 

Here's another option, I haven't used this tho
Ford 7.3L Dipstick Tube Oil Pan Adapter Powerstroke oil adapter dipstick adapter | eBay

 

Hmm those are all good options. I'll see how much my current dip stick nut is leaking then decide on if I want to spend the money to stop the leak now or not.

I thought I'd be leaving in 3 weeks to go to basic, but that now moved up some which I'll find out probably Thursday when that will be. Maybe an additional 1 to 3 months before I leave, which will give me time to see how I should go about fixing this leak!

 

Sounds like someone is about to spend $300... lol

 

I've been in his spot before, sucks. I might try and make my own before the Mare engine goes into White.

 

Some of you might remember my old white truck that I sold last summer:



Current owner fell asleep and hit a pole. Says he's going to fix it.

 

Awe no, that sucks! Glad he is ok though. That is all that matters.

My best friend did that last summer with a Pontiac G6. Fell asleep on his way home from work. He walked away, but it did a number to the car. It was a miracle that he walked away. And that wasn't the first time he was in a bad accident and walked away either.

 

That's like exactly what happened to the truck I grabbed my good motor from.


It was a white f-250 where he hit a pole and was debating on fixing it, but decided to part it out. It something like that happened to my truck, I'd end up fixing it. Sure it might take a while, but I couldn't get rid of my truck now!

 

Hes lucky he had about 8 ft of hood and diesel engine in front of him lol

Saw this pic on Facebook from Hot Rod Mag. It's what's left of a dually lol

 

Looks like the dually is still working hard! I think at that point I would just throw a flat bed on it and call it good.


Phil- Didn't that truck have quite a bit of rust in it?

 

Having to work on the niece's 6 leaker. Talk about a pain in the a$$ to pull an HPOP.

Speaking of HPOP, now that she's in the market for one, I notice Terminator's website is down. Is Joey still building pumps?

 

have to go thru distributors like riffraff.
