It was snowing yesterday between Cheboygan and *******.

Rich, I think you are correct about the FICM. Last night it started after letting the glow plugs warm up for a bit, then it started and bucked. I applied throttle so it would smooth out for maybe a minute, then it idled decently. It cackled a little too.

 

Also get an oil additive. Talk to the guys over at Pioneer by you. The 6.0L has a stiction issue with the injectors that is also worse when cold. I used Hot Shot in my 05. seemed to work pretty good.

 

have you gotten your scan gauge II yet? i've noticed my FICM voltage has been real low on cold mornings.. before starting its right on 48v but as the glow plugs cycle it dips as low as 28 and slowly climbs back to 47.5-48v until i start i. with truck running it's high 30's. but cold starts have been rough lately, so i'm hoping Ed's treatment will fix me up.

 

No I haven't yet. I should probably order one today.

 

Went to the doctors yesterday for another xray on my collar bone. He said it was healing fine considering how badly it was broken. The bone was broke in half and then one of the broken pieces was also split. Figured if i'm going to mess something up i was going to do it right. To answer your question Pat, no it didn't happen at work. I wish it did. I broke it playing kickball. I know right, kickball WTF but its funny. The short version is that i fell down. Again alcohol wasnt a factor at that point. Maybe if it was I would've been fine and sore. This wasn't my first option to get time off of work or weekends off when i go back on light duty.

anyways enough typing one handed.

 

I hope it's not your beer drinking hand. Wishing you a speedy recovery my friend!

 

If it is we can send a supply of straws. Maybe we should do that anyway, that way you don't have to put your beer down to type

Hope you recover quickly Al

 

Good Friday morning truck lovers........

Its Friday ***** its Friday ***** Its Friday ******


Morning all..

 

Good early Saturday morning! I hope everyone has a good weekend. Heading out to Adrian/Hillsdale this weekend. Going to give the Ol' 6.9 a real workout finally. Picking up my buddy's 87 F150 4x4, and his Kawisaki Prairie quad. they have been sitting at a friend's property for the past couple years. And they have just sold it. So we are taking them to another friend's place just outside of Hillsdale(Osseo). That truck was the one that brought my Bronco home when I bought it. So now I get to return the favor.
We're planning on turning it into a Offroad toy. Bundy Hill ORV park isnt to far away from our buddy's place. Hopefully everything goes well, and we can get the truck to run enough for it to drive itself on the trailer.

 

good morning all.. Out for a day of training.. Have fun!!

 

Have a good weekend everyone........
