I have only been working on here since my Dad died in 2014. I specialize in what ever rolls in the lot. but i seem to get all the diesel jobs. I work on a fleet of Ford 6.7l Ambulances and one 6.0l ambulance. Some with close to 200,000 miles on them.
Still working on getting settled in and gettin my phone to like the site.
I have been at Ollmanns Aiutomotive Since 2008. And have worked on vehicles for both.
no thank u their tires are a pain in my butt. and get ripped off the 450s as soon as I can justify it.
No its suppose to power my winch but I lost my front hitch to an intercooler. So till I can get a bumper it just sits there looking lonely. I have seen the thread just trying to get settled in first.

Not automotive. Industrial hose, hydraulic hose, V-belts, conveyor belt.

Hey everyone,
New member currently at Fort Leonard Wood. I just bought a 1973 F100 4x4, 360, 4spd, A/C, with about 120k miles. I'll be refreshing things including power steering.

Thanks everyone.
I'm heading out on a trip Mon for about 6 weeks and when I get back I will start mechanical freshening up. I will continue to preserve the body.
First order is to get the power steering fixed so it isn't leaking so bad. Have to decide to repair the existing system, possibly replacing the control valve assembly and cylinder, or going with a new system like Benchwork.

Yea I know about heading out on trips...I was just gone for 4 months and then home for 30 days and now back out again for 3 months. But it pays well....at least I can FTE it as long as the internet is up. But hard to get projects done being gone alot.

Been a while since I was traveling for work so much. Paying well is nice. Does make it a little difficult to get projects done while gone 
.
This trip for me will be personal, part motorcycle trip, part camper van trip, part son graduation from college trip, etc.
