Well, guys it's looking like we'll have that 95 PowerStroke by the end of the week. Or at least that's what dad says.

Is there any difference between a 95 PowerStroke and a 99 PowerStroke? (the engine itself not the whole truck)

Would it like 5-40 syn just like my truck does?

Sorry for being on-topic in the O/T thread by the way.

That's a good thing for me. I hate doing the same thing over and over, day after day. I like variety. Thats one reason why I could never last at a desk job, and another reason why I love farming so much.

Well I found a maxi fuse under the hood that blew! 50 amp...looked important! It was ignition b1 and b3 or something like that. Hopefully that feeds the wiper circuit and ESOF circuit...but I doubt it!

Im gonna have to study the diagrams that Jim sent me!

You feeling a bit better man? heat stroke is terrible, hurts something fierce. Always liked using a spray bottle of water with the fan, nice cold mist across your face. Or anywhere else for that matter..lol Kinda like a swamp cooler effect.

prolly wouldnt hurt to take another shower before bed Nolan...make sure your body is back to normal temp...got a thermometer?

It was 85 inside and 98 outside at 7:30, so I turned on the a/c...set it at 80....it is still running...

Thanks for asking. I get to working and forget about myself for a bit. We got all that loaded in under an hour we were busting out butts. Its a good thing we did because it hit 102*+ come 12pm. We got done at 10:30 or so and it was 90*+. Id rather just get shtuff done and worry about the effects afterwards...

I'm the same way man, I exhaust myself at least once a year like that. Easy to get busy and not think about what your doing to yourself. It's also the first big heat so your not really acclimated yet. Remember to take it easy out there!
