Glenn, sorry to hear about your trouble. I hope that easy fix lasts. If it were me I'd be stressing out about it still.

Todd, Nice TT!

I have backed off the brakes a bit and it has taken care of the problem. I do not dare set the parking brake. If the shoes do not return I do not have time to deal with them.

Nate, the truck is mine! Lol. Bought the ol Super Camper Special a little over a year ago. Love to drive that thing although fuel mileage is near non existent lol

Had a blast at Bills house last weekend! It's always a good time at Hillbillys house. Before we even left we were planning a trip for next year lol

Thanks Phil, your right about stress, I don't need anymore. I do feel good about my easy fix. When it was crapping out I did wiggle the plugs and it seemed to 'catch' then started to miss again. So, my idea was to check them first and then change IDM's.


Nice JP, 460 in there?

Picked this up yesterday, sort of as a joke. I am a bit disappointed though. It doesnt taste or smell anything like diesel fuel.

I really want to try that!! What brewery/where is it out of?

I am pretty sure it wouldn't be FDA approved if it had diesel in it LOL

BUT then again, this stuff is legal:

No, but I would have loved to be a fly on the other side of the glass when this was all going on.

One of my good friends is very interested in the viking culture, so I said he needed to eat some of this if he really wanted to be a viking. He responded with a "you find it, I'll eat it'.... Took me two minutes to find a can on Amazon for $65

He will regret agreeing to eat the stuff I think..... Just their reactions makes me believe that the stuff is absolutely disgusting!

Haha that video is pretty funny. It's funny how it doesn't really bother the kids until the mom starts to throw up. That girl on the right doesn't mind it at all though.

I really don't like sea food, so I can imagine I wouldn't like that stuff much. I'm interested in getting some of this for my dad/friends though, but I don't think I want to spend 65 bucks on it just yet. Maybe as a Christmas gift.

So my buddy, Jacob, who is a member here that pops in from time to time, is driving is OBS from Seattle to home here is NE IN. He didn't get far and had a tire blow out on his trailer. Got that fixed and then a wheel bearing on the truck went out. He seemed pretty frustrated on the phone last night. Keep him in your prayers please!

I don't guess I've told the story on here. Mostly because I never keep things for very long and I'm sure all of you have lost track of what I have owned over the years lol. I had been looking for a Super Camper Special for awhile but everything around here was rusty and expensive. I found one here on FTE for sale and I was hooked. I had to have It! So my ol lady and me booked a flight to Washington state and drove it 2600 miles home. Without a doubt, the best vacation I've ever been on! It was quite a trip with no OD and 4.10s lol. We were going 60 in 80 mph zones across several states

Sorry ​​​​​​to hear about your buddy Phil!

Today I saw a gorgeous white OBS F350 cc with a 7X7 decal on the rear doors pulling a TT in a gas station in Vinton TX just before exit 0 and NM TX state line, any off guys driving it? I was driving the platinum f250 with black tool boxes he looked straight at my truck so you know he was a Ford guy that likes 7.3's lol....

So there's this old beat up dark blue OBS PSD thats a dually that I see around town all the time. I was filling up my OBS at the station and this truck pulls up to the opposite side of the pump I'm using. Guy climbs out, and he's dressed like they pay him a million bucks. He's practically drooling down his shirt and tie looking my truck over. As I pull out to the street and take off, I kept watching him and he about broke his neck watching me drive off. Now that guy is a die-hard OBS man for sure. lol.
