Who’s on line? the DAILY ‘CHAT’ that never ends

[mikey]

Hey Maso, why the double post? Is your computer stuttering? Just kidding. I think the car will go a lot faster than 10.41, we’ll see. I’m thinking high 6.30s to low 6.40s in the eighth, and whatever that transfers over to in the quarter. Won’t know until I try it. I just know that I’m glad I took the car for the tests, I’m happy with the results, and now I have a baseline for several things I want to do and try. …………..Mikey 😎 😆

Back on the road with the Trick Truck. Down at the dealer all afternoon, Friday…tired of the massive leaks on my driveway. Had some ‘senoir Moments’ fixed yesterday….Valve cover gasket-Pan Gasket-Side lifter access plate gasket…dumb master cylinder Reservoir rubber bushings….Guess when you get 17 years old your gaskets fall apart…having the same problem at 63. 😆 ….did ‘Get My Money Back”…Lettered the parts truck,Courtesy Shuttle van and installed two 4X8 signs while they worked on the truck. AND now have increased oil pressure ..nice to see how clean the rockers were ,with the valve cover off…pays to change oil regurly. amazing !.truck still runs like a raped ape. Ford Tough !

Did you try the engine oil dye Dino?

[dinoKeymaster]

Didn’t have to BossMan..it was obvious once we got it on the lift …..cleaned it off and ran it arouund town and back. Good thing is …real seal intact.

Dino,your lucky with just gaskets.My 93 and 95 F150’s I had to replace the oil pans due to ‘rust-out’.The only ‘plus’ for me was they were 2 wheel drive.4 wheel drives are a ‘bummer’ to replace the pan assy.I only wish ‘Ford’ still had the 300 6 cyl.a very dependable work horse,for many miles.And as you stated,keeping the oil ‘clean’ is a must for them!

Big Al’s a Washout today……..I rode by at 8:30 AM and it was raining so hard I did not get out of the car…I saw a few cars in the lot and a few people but for most it was a no show……..Too bad…Al always has a great show 🙁

Well,here we go again! Another ‘week’ of on and off rain and flooding predicted for here in upstate N.Y. Possibly ‘ark’ building time is in store? Looking at the south and the flooding there getting ‘hammered’ with,I should complain? Cleanup afterwards,gotta be the PITS for those poor people!

[dinoKeymaster]
