Truck drove good but it was probably going to take the drive to the airport this morning to get all the air out of the oil and fuel systems.

ok iam on a break from work so i fig i ask now, ball joints all i hear is bad things lol, the only one on my truck thats bad is the lower drivers side. Is it possiable that the joint can be pushed out the bottom and then pressed back in or does it come out the top only? Not bad for 12 yrs and the joints are going now, also took it to ford 188k mi check ball joint is the only problem

Jim's truck (The big black dually that got sticks and a turbo) is running great. The air seems to be all worked out. No more hard starts. Fires right up like it used to now. With LOTS more power (I'm told)

Jim said he accidentally broke them loose coming out of the hotel this morning so he backed off. Nope. Still spinning. It wasn't until his foot was all the way off the accelerator that it grabbed traction.
