I didn't interact with you much, but I was fascinated by the massive piles of miles you had in the fleet. Take care. And, funny movie.

 

Wow, the end of an era. We'll miss your knowledge and contribution, hope you stop back in from time to time. Best of luck!

 

Well we have a problem Houston....

The post office claims online they were delivered, yet I just got four standard business letters.

Delgriffith I sent you a private message, please disregard it. Thank you, the young postman scanned the package as delivered, then drove off with it. He just returned with a big box!

 

They were delivered. Just... maybe not to you.

 

disregard this post...

I think it's you, Tedster.

 

Well, as it turns out our new young carrier scanned it as delivered, left it in his truck and just discovered it almost two hours later.

All's well, and thanks again.

I return your program to Delgriffiths farewell wishes!

 

My AC compressor and condenser went to my neighbor last year. Glad they found your manuals!

 

Annaleigh, thanks, I'm glad too! I wish you lived in my neighborhood so I could learn all the tricks you've figured out to keep our older vans on the road.

The manuals are amazing! Maybe I can find something useful somewtime to help out someone else, to payback all the great help I've gotten on FTE.

 

Farewell to ya, Del. I sold my '02 E150 in Feb 2016 so I'm out of the E-van game also. But mine went to a good friend who is an appliance repairman and he just had it by yesterday (our washing machine needs a transmission shortly)...he had a miss, and I put my OBD II tester on it and told him to get a new COP for cylinder #2 and a spare for when the next one pops.

I sold it with 129k miles on it, and he's got it up to 150. I'm guessing he'll get it up to 300k+ if he wants to.

It's been fun, and Del's stories about high-mile vans kind of changed my paradigms about how far vehicles can go with logical, but not ****, maintenance. I've got a Facebook bud who just posted a pic of his odometer showing 313k miles on his baby, a Pontiac Aztek of all things.

Good times,
George
