R.i.p.

After 16 years and 341,000 miles later, 87 F-150, 302 DEAD

Oil Pump broke had the music so loud could not hear the engine knocking.

The truck was towed off to the mech but I have a feeling it is dead.

Bummer...

Runs great just makes allot of noise..

Does anybody know of any newer ford trucks for sale in the Dallas, TX area ?

Thanks

Is the body good enough to put in another engine?

Could possibly be worth while to keep it going longer.

The truck is back from the dead.

Thanks to everyone....

Now wait a minute GSchretter... now I may have missed something in that first line there, but you can't just tell us it is back from the dead and not tell us the story!

I mean the nerve of some people!

Best,

Look for a threat that says Re-Tract R.I.P.

It is the whole story.

One part I left out was that I got the truck tow when it broke down to a mech shop and they said the engine was blown and the oil pump was bad. It was making some really bad metal to metal noise.

When I drove the truck up to his shop the next day, he looked at me and said, "Sir, please never bring that truck back here, it must have the devil in it. I said, "No sir no devil here just lots of love keeping this old truck alive"

I wish I could have video taped everything that happen.
Next break down I am going to... Of course I will have to *beep* to bad words I say sometimes.

Talking about a great Ford commerical..

One thing about this truck, no matter how bad it is running it has brought me home.
