Guy, that is one hard working Ford Tough F250.

 

thanks.it was right up until recently.the trans is going out.
pre-updated e40d worked hard like in those pics all the time so i guess it isn't too bad,but ya hate to see 'em brake when its the big repair$. diagnosed yesterday.lots of metal in the pan/no od.didn't sleep very good last night.

that was freshly cut silver maple there.

 

i dont know what kind of maple we have around here but the stuff is heavy when its wet. i hope you replace or rebuild that e4od and keep that rig going

 

You just live in the wrong part of the country. I see this kind of crap daily around here:



They come up from Mexico, buy everything they can at garage sales, and drive it back home. It'd be more hilarious if it wasn't so damn scary.

Mike

 

^ lmao!!!!! thanks.i needed that.

 

Oh ****, F250XLT is your E4OD really taking a dump??


I taught you fix all the problems those had to make it reliable? That sucks!

 

that^^^^ sounded really negative to me but i could be wrong

 

yeah! nope she lost over drive.drained and drop the pan to find lots of metal.my heart sank.
but i'll have another in there in no time again.iv worked her pretty hard and she did have evendence of plow push plates once installed on her when i bought it too.so po worked her a bit as well.

 

What's the mileage on 'er now?


Plowing really does take a toll on trannies though. Especially plow guys that are in a hurry and they do a bunch of "rolling shifts" when they knock 'er down in Drive while their still backing up and vice versa.

 

Heres a load for today...err tow from today.


'89 F150 straight 6, C6 with 2.73 didn't really like this load.





Towing an 89 F250 4x4 5spd 302. Truck runs and drives, but isn't licensed witch is why the tow. Didn't wanna fallow behind in a straight line either, and was pretty hard to tow it. The front end on this thing is completely shot from being a plow truck. Going straight, the right wheel turns right, and the left wheel turns left! And has a seizing caliper.

Ol' 300 sure worked today. She got pretty hot to, had to stop and take my grill cover off, and run the heater at full pin!

 

98k.i really wanted to see 150-200k,but ya gunna do lol.if another one can go 100k too,then she'll be 30 yrs old and i'll be more than ready for the next truck.or 26-27 yrs old anyway.either way will be time for something much newer.like a 19 yr old one.

 

was too much weight for the back with the stock saging f150 leafs. was sitting on the bump stops so had to go get the work trailer to finish the journey.

 

couple more.

load of fridges/freezers.


mud flaps dragging, fresh cut 24" dia tree.


and more of the stock truck.

 

well my account at photobucket got terminated so i'll tell you about my load. long bed full of wet oak, about 3,005 pounds. long bed sized trailer heaped and i mean HEAPED full of wet oak, 6,243 pounds, yeah overloaded just a tad. suprising part was it looked like midnite's truck in terms of spring sag. which brings me to my question midnite what springs you got on it? is it the 4 spring or 5 spring pack

 

it started with the 5 spring pack from the f150.

it currently has the 5 leaf pack with the overload spring and blocks from a 97 cclb f350.
picked the back end up 2" with the spring swap. but doesnt sag as bad now.
