KY Chapter 2018 BS/General chat
 
Instead of making a new thread every momth, let's try just 1 for the entire year.


How's everyone been? Plans for the year?https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...e29baa3d97.jpgIn other news, Michelle is still kicking. Front is completely on air, and she now has 307k miles.

I'm not around here much anymore. Still doing the axle repair stuff, though it's been slow for a while. Still not much work going on in Eastern Ky like it used to be. Still have 3 PSD's. The 08 has cost me some money lately. Replaced the front cover, exhaust manifolds and up pipes, and a radiator. Nothing about working on that truck is cheap.

I understand. Just trying to keep the chapter alive.

Hey guys.

Michelle needs a bath!

I'm getting ready to assemble and install the bed on mine. Then the front inner fenders and grille, then on to wiring. I'm not going to install the front fenders, doors, or hood until last. It's easier to get around everything without them.

Great to see her coming along, Ken!

Like eating an elephant. One bite at a time. :-X22
Although some times it seems like just a nibble.

One of the best truck engines Ford ever built.

I agree, I have an 82 F250 with a Holly 4bbl and EFI exhaust manifolds. It keeps on going, will get down and grunt once and pull like no other.

I haven't driven a V series anything in 10 years and 0 complaints about it.

my truck has 310k miles now.

5_labsownus 03-23-2018 09:06 PM

I have to say I do own a 7.3 and love it. I have for the most part driven I4s and I6s most of my life with a few good V8s in there somewhere.
May everyone in KY have a great weekend!

How's everyone doing?

Good Memorial Sunday morning KY and all who pass through.
Thanks to all who serve, have served and especially those who gave their all.

Work has been good for the most part. Trucks have been behaving themselves, though my 02 is due new tires, exhaust, and a dent repair from hitting a post while backing out of a parking place at a gas station. This place has the posts placed about 6 feet from the pumps. Oh well.

Anyhow, my 99 still functions as a backup work truck. The 02 had a turbo upgrade a few month back (KC-38R), much better than the standard bolt on Garret 38R, quieter! The 08, my everyday work truck is at 242,000 miles and still going strong.

I think we all have found a post or two that was just not place where it should have been.
