Well, I just gave up on the starter. The old one barely came off and I cannot get the new one on. There are a few things in the way, namely the block, the frame, a fuel hose, two transmission fluid lines, the exhaust manifold, and some big arse bracket that comes off of the pinch weld. I am about to call AAA to bringing this hunk of shite to Tire Kingdom.
I swear to mother fricking Christ, I haven't ever worked on a car that was as hard to do anything on as this. Changing the fricking belt took me almost two hours because of where they put the tensioner. I am so tempted to riddle this mother fricker with bullets right now

Define "there".
I've certainly been annoyed with stuff before, so I've been there.
I've never had a vehicle with that serious of issues, so I have not been there.

All I know is Ford is the only truck owned by our farm. I've got 225k trouble free miles on mine

64k on my current one, 292k on the one I sold for 4500 four years ago. I saw it running the streets of Gonzales on Monday.

Headed to get an old bronco in a week or so, '78. These new trucks are too damned complicated, I want something I can work on with a set of SAE wrenches. I'm certain I'll get plenty of practice with those wrenches.

If I get this starter on, I will be in mobile later today buying a GM 6.0 gas

Ford runs GM into the ground, as well as Toyota and Dodge.

that hwy or towing?
Shoot, I get 11 towing my Camper at 12,500#@ or above 70mph
19-21 hwy empty correlated with doing mostly 70-80mph

Thats driving like a teenager in his first sports car... 80+ everywhere I go, a combination of HWY and city. I could probably baby it and get 10-11, but F that, I've got places to go

That always killed me.
How about I buy something that doesn't need all that re-engineering?
Honestly...If I could find a mint low mile 6.0 with very few miles, I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat and bullet proof it...
It then becomes just as good, if not better due to power&efficiency and the six speed than a 7.3...
worlds better than a 6.4 and I believe better than a 6.7...it's just the old style front end that I wouldn't want at that point...

wake me up when you have anything real to contribute to the conversation?
Posted on 8/7/14 at 2:07 pm to Pepperidge
Finished the damn starter. The injector is just gonna get some diesel kleen and hopefully it fixes itself because I can't even see the wires or hoses going to it

Best way to start an OB war = talk about any truck that was ever built
