Why rush ???

 

 

I know...... I think my F650 dash has been sitting here for at least a year and a half waiting to move up to the top of the list.....

 

You guys are making me feel good, my curt hitch is only waiting about a month.

 

oof... ordered my tires from discount tire direct... $590 out the door for a set of their cheapest road tires... we'll see how that turns out for me.

 

I was paying $450 per tire for my old '99.

That truck with 37's is now my son's problem!

effff that. main reason why I haven't even thought about building some sort of off-road rig is the cost of tires.

 

 

I'm looking to add a camera to mine soon, which did you go with? How did you wire it up?

 

it has like 35ft of wire included. all power and signal wires are done up front by the head unit, then i fished the wire up and across the headliner, through the wire loom in the top of the hatch, around the hatch and out the left hand side of the handle. only thing i had to drill was the mounting screws. pretty dang nice picture too with my several year old Pioneer deck, but the deck connection is universal just a single RCA so use it with whatever

 

You were once able to buy charge cans of 134A with oil included in retail stores. They may or may not still be avail.
Have your shop add more leak dye while you're in there.

 

Over the last two days:
Changed oil, Replaced my leaking 6.0 trans cooler (ouch that hurt my wallet), Flushed the OTW cooler with Kooler Kleen, rebuilt the bypass tube valve, replaced the Transmission lines, finally put in my Factory Tech accumulator body Ive had since forever, cleaned the pan, full trans fluid change, changed the axle fluids and put on some new covers (Ford aluminum for the rear and a SOLID brand for the Dana 50)that I've had for years and never put on, removed the CURT front hitch (I don't need it anymore since the bumper has one), repaired some light rust found after I removed the lights and grill, combed and cleaned the radiator and condenser, replaced the grill and emblem with all new. Drained, flushed radiator and coolant systems and replaced with new Valvoline G-05.
Now to take it out for a test drive of the new accumulator body. Then hook up the trailer and see what the throttle body does for towing.

I just hit 100k miles two weeks ago.

edit: I forgot to state that I replaced the upper and lower radiator hoses, the overflow tank hose, and all heater hoses.

 

I have one week to get everything ready for camping! Oil change, tires changed, haven't even looked at any of the boats yet, haven't looked at the TT much yet. But I'm gonna get-r-done! I hope, if not I'm going camping anyhow with or without stuff.
