June Chat/All Topic Thread
Well, since I'm up and haven't started an All Topic Thread, I may as well do my part!
Welcome to midway through the year already. It had been getting pretty hot and dry, but the last few days were welcome with rain/thunderstorms. And the weather today is suppose to be beautiful in the NW corner of the state. |
Yes. Beautiful today. Yard greened back up
|
good morning everyone and welcome to june! last night we got a call from our very good friend and she had her baby boy last evening at 4-40 he weighs 5lbs and 3oz he was 2 weeks early, but he is a very happy and healthy baby boy!
|
enjoy it folks, probably the last nice weekend until october.. I'm goin campin.. enjoy a few cold ones by the lake..
|
Got some rain around here. Rather nice really other than I should have mowed today instead of going to get a load of cedar. Rolled across the scales 2 miles from the house at 10,160 lbs. If I cleaned out my cab I know I could get under 10k. That load ~3200, was actually the lightest of my 3 biggest. The front of the overloads didnt even touch.
Other news, found an 83/84 F350 with a 6.9/t19 I gotta drag home now. |

That is a great idea. Then he could give away that 6.9/t-19 to somebody who wanted to put it in.....say a 79 Bronco or something.

Anyway....re the pic. Still cant see it.. I opened that post in the edit pane and checked the forum code. Looks good, but it still doesn't show for me. Dunno what's up there.
PowerStrokeNation : Ford Powerstroke Diesel Forum I thought I was being cute by "working around the system"...but clearly I'm not as computer savy as I think I am. Guess I should stick to running locomotives and working on 6.0L, I understand both quite well. |
I figured I couldn't view it since it was an attachment from PSN and I am not a member there.

My thought was the rings, but no one seemed to think that was feesible. And it was a miss, accompanied with blue smoke that burned your eyes. Did a compression test and determined there was a dead hole with only 75psi.
Since it's a 7.3L PSD I beat you could hone it, replace the piston with new rings and put the head back on. It should fire right up and be good for at least another 100k miles of hard pulling. |
Oh yeah no worries on rebuilding it the walls aren't scarred up much at all. Would have like to have found the true cause even if the ring land did break due to stress or heat. I will say I do not run the same tuner as I did then.

You could try saving it as a jpeg to your desktop then uploading to an album here.... If it's that important that we see it.
