Yup many more bro!

Will the Everest replace the Escape in the US?

I’m starting to think we’re beating a dead horse there blah blah blah nothing‘s happening. They’re just sitting there laughing at all of us dangling like puppets on the end of their strings just my opinion. But what’s next let’s hope for the best. I certainly don’t have the answer to anything over there. Bob

Well, if you would’ve asked me, I would not trust any of them nor would I turn my back on any of them … I would say treat it as a hornets nest just douse it and get rid of them all, but that wouldn’t be fair to the tons of decent folks … Bob

lol the thought had crossed my mind. You’ve been spending money like a drunken sailor doesn’t matter. It’s all for a good cause and I get it. You’re all jacked up. To gidergoing. I’m sure you’ve got tons of followers as myself ready to give you a big applause even bigger than you’re already getting. Thanks for keeping everybody in the loop.

I suspect Ford will finally bring the mid-sized Ford Transit van to the states now that Stellantis is bringing back the Promaster City as a more useful mid-sized van. https://www.caranddriver.com/ram/promaster-city file:///C:/Users/Robert%20Doub/Downloads/MY25-Everest-Spec-Sheet-EN.pdf

The car-based unibody Explorer is for the soccer mom who doesn't want to be seen in a minivan, while the Everest is the body-on-frame man's SUV. https://www.me.ford.com/en/sau/suvs/everest/ file:///C:/Users/Robert%20Doub/Downloads/MY25-Everest-Spec-Sheet-EN.pdf

Iran's Deputy Defence Minister Reza Talaei-Nik said on Tuesday that Tehran was ready to share defensive weapons capabilities and experiences gained from "America's defeat" with "independent" nations including those of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. That bloc includes Iran, Russia, China, India, Pakistan and Central Asian states.

Rube Goldbergs finest hour.... Just some basic math...... 😆

I should be there... hell, its 6 miles from my house..

I forget how many there are under there, it depends on the year too. There were usually two part numbers, one ending in a 116, the other 118, that were for different PSI's. My helpfulness kind of comes to an end there...

Happy birthday Joey! Hope to see you at the truck show in Spencer May 9th!

Happy Birthday Joey!

yep, I use an oil can fill the rollers and let it sit on a clean towel for a bit, then before putting the outbord bearing on I put some in the hub. I know some people say you should set bearing dry due the fact it could affect preload/endplay but, my theory is the bearings have oil in them. they should be set that way.

Happy Birthday!

I replaced this pressure sensor out but the issue still appears from time to time….

A bit like shielas with big boobs, low cut tops and mini skirts Paul

Did you wet the bearings with oil and squirt some in the well inside the hub?

Exactly

@Joey Mack got it done today eneded up backing lock washer off one notch it did line up after the 50 LB FT torque but just seemed a little tight to me. I have thought about what @Geoff Weekssaid for along time. I have always thought a rolling drag test might be better way to set some wheel bearing. it will always be a bit skewed with the wheel seal drag though.

I guess you could say you got the shaft!

years back Dean Foods came east and did a 10 yr lease on Baskin Robbins. rumor had it that was their way of getting quick ICC rights in new england so they could sell their own products,

He grew up about 4 streets away from me where you only saw Mack Autocar and Brockways and he's shown photos of the Autocar his father drove. I guess the shiny stuff drew his attention

Tired, broke man....
