Thanks for the info I check it out. Nice web page

 

Not sure if anyone will check this forum at all, but to all you NDSU guys out there, do any of you drive a sharp mid 90s F150 super cab, nice black paint, push bar with KC Daylighters on the front and park in Lot T?

I see this truck all the time, and just wondering who it is, or if they are even on this forum, probably leave him a not with the address in the doorhandle or something if he isnt on this site.

let us know!

 

I've got the sweet red Explorer with the visor and the "style indents" on the drivers side in the R lot.


I haven't seen that truck, but now I suppose I'm gonna have to go take a look.

 

Sometimes its parked on the other sides of the fence behind some houses. oh, and mine is the beat up looking black F150 supercab in T lot. but i guess i should call the color dirty instead of black...

by the way, do you know what fargo uses on the roads for ice problems? i see some rusted out trucks, but some look fine... I dont know

see you around

 

They don't use much up here. Mostly sand but I've seen some brown liquid on the roads

 

the rusted ones are usually from minnesota- minnesota uses salt on their roads

 

Yeah, I know about minnesota, my fiance lives in new brighton (minneapolis) and if she doesnt wash her car regularly it gets all white and crystaly... not good for sheet metal.

Any idea what that brown stuff is? i have seen it too

 

the brown stuff is usually sand or sand/salt mix

 

.....or it could be liquid poo from someone sliding sideways down the road. Just a thought.

 

The majority of the ND DOT uses a sand salt mixture. It's not as strong as percentage wise salt as they use in MN but none the less it isn't any good for the cars. I don't know about out east but in central and western ND they will also occasionaly use magnesium chloride. It looks kinda funny since it's sprayed on as a liquid but it works considerably better than the sand/salt mixtures and it'll work at very cold temps where salt isn't effective below about 20*F.

By the way GO SOUIX!!!! Just had to rub it in a little bit, I graduated a few years ago from UND!

 

Psht, Bison > Sioux

 

I am another one from fargo

have a 78 f150 2wd and a 84 ranger 4wd (4sale)

i am free most nights if there is to be a get together

 

I just bought a 1987 F-150 with the 302 and AOD. It's not in bad shape for a 20 year old truck, but has a little rust. It's purpose is mostly second car and hauling stuff.
I'm in Fargo, btw.
