NO I am not about to go Jackson Pollock up on my truck haha.

hey, can I remove the A/C compressor bracket without causing any problems?

i know the power steering pump is attached to it, but I should be able to take it off without a major concern for alignment on the PS pump, correct?

Is the Explorer owner in Paraguay or Argentina? She's probably wondering why she got a build slip on a 1985 F250!

because the PO is a complete retard and I need to know all the things that came with the truck, because there are quite a few things he has been wrong about.


oh, and there is a big leak coming from under my truck.


i have a strong feeling it's tranny fluid.


but I can't tell, because it's mixing with the oil leak haha..



not cool

my trucks PO wired the brake lights, blinkers and trailer brakes to the lighter.
sounds like you have some work to do on that truck.
I would love to help, but I doubt my help is worth a
trip from Omaha to the lone star state.
any idea how many rep points before it go's to 2 green boxes?

my guess is the 50, or 100. not sure.
because on the Finalgear forums, forums for Top Gear, they do it based off a different system.
i have 2 green bars, and 380 points, from 5 peoples rep.
so no idea.



STOSH!!!! ANSWER THIS PLEASE!!!!


or Scott, you could answer it too for once :P
