Rain and mud.......Memorial day weekend.

Expecting to see you there. Hint - if you would wash that rig you will probably get twice the fuel mileage and spend a lot less on diesel!

Good morning Oregon, Tuesday is upon us! Looks like our dry time may be ending, may have more rain moving in.

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

Morning Pat. We had a little rain off and on overnight. It's so dry, we need it.

Morning Tiny! I'm just glad it dried out some here. Could be worse, though. It could be like it is down in Texas, it's just been ridiculous there and in Oklahoma.

Morning Pat. Deadsville here this morning.

I'm heading out into the field... hopefully it won't rain too much. It's dry at the moment.

Good morning everyone going to see if I can figure out why my cruise control doesn't want to work. Frustrating.

Good morning John. I've only had problems with a cruise control twice. Once it was the switch for on-off-set-resume and the other it was a diaphragm in a box under the hood. Had to have the shop repair it both times. Good Luck!

Morning Jim, John, Roy! John, I've had the alternative, where it would shut off! Happened a long time ago, in my dad's 75 Mercury wagon. Had to put in neutral and shut it off. That 460 roared like crazy when I took it out of gear!

Never had that problem. When I had my problems, it just flat wouldn't come on unless you hit the switch over and over and over. Got to where it wouldn't come on at all.


The other time you would be cruising down the road and it would suddenly release and you would start coasting down. Get it reset and it may "hold" or it may not. If it did maintain speed it would only do it for a while and then release again. That was the bad diaphragm in a vacuum box under the hood.


Aren't all of the new rigs electronic through the computer now???? No more vacuum lines and diaphragms etc.?

Yep, all electronic now. I'll have to figure out how to put it on the 67, the old way, or the new way.
