NICE looking truck Torr.....great color!

 

Good to hear. I usually go to the spring show, but you would have to work a weekend to see my ugly face....

 

Thanks guys. Thanks Pat for posting the picture. I will tell more in the morning, I just got home from a service call.

 

I have been there on weekends for the spring show! Probably did see you

Back in my office today, can't say that I feel bad for not having to work until 9 tonight or to 6 tomorrow. Looking forward to a little fun tomorrow.

If anyone wants to go on a little color tour with us tomorrow we will probably be leaving mid morning. Mostly fire roads and wide 2 tracks, should be able to fit a truck no problem.

 

Good morning guys, have a great weekend.....

 

Morning Gerrry

 

Howdy Rich, great sunny day up here, good day for a race

 

Cloudy and cool here. Good day to have a fire.

 

I have a propane fire pit for camping here, cant burn wood at the camp ground, wood fires are nice but I dont like the smoke smell .........

 

gas fire place in the house, but I may have to touch off the pile of crap out back tonight

it's a balmy 44* here today.

 

Well, the truck runs awesome. Drove 400 miles to get home. The tires are 35x12.50-20 Toyo Open Country M/Ts. The rims are an off brand. Motto?

It has a lift on it. Looks like a 4 inch spacer above the coil spring and a 2 inch block in the back. I might sell the rims and tires and lift.

It has an aftermarket stereo with a touch screen. It isn't mounted properly so at freeway speeds, it wobbles. It is connected to the transmission, so when you shift into reverse, it is hooked to reverse camera. It has a Viper alarm with remote start, but the button is broke.

It was in an accident in 2007 so it has an aftermarket grill, an XL gray painted front bumper and one of the chrome mirrors is just a black one with a cover.
I have a brand new chrome bumper and paint able top piece. I will also use the painted grill I got from Pat.

It has a creased cab corner and door on the passenger side that was advertised as a cosmetic scratch. BS.
Overall, I'm happy with my purchase, but I am disappointed in how inaccurate it was represented.

 

Good Sunday morning everyone, 32* here this AM........

What truck did you buy TORR

 

It's posted above by Pat. It's a 2006 King Ranch Crew 6.0 F250 diesel. Just under 150,000 miles.

 

So today I started the truck for the first time cold. I only let it warm the glow plugs for a few seconds then attempted to crank it over. It turned over a couple times and then bucked a couple times then stopped. I shut it off and then attempted it again waiting for the glow plugs for about another 15 seconds. It started and bucked for several seconds and then proceeded to run extremely rough for 30 seconds until I gave it a little throttle so it would run smoother. It did, so i ran inside to grab my phone and left slowly just above idle until I got to the main road. From there, it ran well until I got to my parents house.

When I left 4 hours later, it started instantly and ran great home.

So what do you think?

 

I would look at the glow plug circuit first. I think their is a control module for the glow plugs that has been known to fail intermintantly as described.
