Timmy, stay in touch, you have my number. We would definitely be interested in hanging out for a bit during our National Lampoon's Sous family trip in the spring.

Maintenance and upgrades Jan 2019

2001 F250SD 7.3, extended cab, long bed, 4X4, auto trans, 175000mi. I bought this truck new and plan to keep it till the end, then the scavengers can sell it LOL.

For maintenance I just did new injector orings, new glow plugs and GPR, new IPS old one started to leak.

For upgrades, installed Wicked Wheel 2, five inch straight pipe, and got an SCT X4 programer. Sure makes a hell of a difference.

175000mi clean as a whistle

Wicked wheel 2

Cleaned up with new orings

Big *** pipe

Injectors going back in

Excellent work, Bill-De-Man... Hope she brings you anutha 200k.

Sorry fellas for leaving ya high n dry. Grandfather fell early yesterday morning(3am). Being 91yr young, after getn him back in bed and finishing out the morning, i called paramedics to have evaluated at 8am because of pain in the knee. Didnt want to try and lift him in truck and do the 1/2 mile drive to hospital...conclusion, we knew about his "cold" but its now pneumonia and the leg/knee pain is now a shattered hip.
With 18% of heart, theres 2 choices..
A) surgery but making it thru it is a very LOONNGG shot
B) no surgery and be bed ridden for rest of days

Surgery set for 4pm today

No matter outcome, we/i still heading to Bullhead. With a commercial license and a no mortgage 3bd/2bth home to worry about, it gives me/my fam a head start in life in which CA was to tough to accomplish, plus, come summer, the river is a rock throw away..:-)

Yes, sorry to hear about your grandfather, timmyboy. Hope the surgery goes well.

On my end, I got to spend 3 hours this morning cleaning out the bed of the truck... all because I didn't take my 5-gal pail of used oil to the recycle point before this past weekend. Youngest son used the truck for a short visit with friends Saturday night, not knowing the oil was back there. While backing up in a tight spot, he bumped a curb and the pail tipped over, the entire 5-gals of oil then poured out and got scattered throughout the bed of the truck. My fault, though, because he didn't even know it was in the bed. My boxes are all OK, but two ratchet straps and one two strap got saturated with oil, so they went in the garbage can. The thing that hurts the most is that I had custom fit together some interlocking rubber drainage mats as a liner to keep everything "above liquid level" for when rain finds its way into the bed under the bed cover, and those mats are completely covered with oil, both sides. I scrubbed them and dosed them with Simple Green and scrubbed again and pressure washed, and they are still as slick as gopher snot. I'm not willing to spend another full day trying to get one side clean while the other side gets re-contaminated, so they're gone! Looks like replacements are going to be something like another $100-$120, but they have certainly proven their worth in terms of keeping things from slipping and sliding around in the bed. Oh well. Next time, the oil doesn't go into the truck unless I'm headed to the recycle place immediately!
