  1. but the important part was, the people saying it were NOT moderators. so you were safe.
  2. they did. we just have not heard about it ...............yet.
  3. yup. odds and ends is where non trucks stuff goes to live in infamy
  4. back when i was still doing bodywork, i bought a gallon of ghost pearl white paint for a CTS caddy. it cost $1300 for one gallon.
  5. go to bed Bob. you are getting delusional. 🤪
  6. link is on welfare.
  7. anutter one what don't work
  8. you image linky no worky.
  9. if it is what i am thinking, they are differential locks.
  10. i should send that to my niece with the 6 and 8 year old boys.
  11. because do as i say, not as i do.🤪
  12. i am glad you got to talk to the previous owner and did not get taken by that dealer.
  13. egr cooler is good for around 80 to 100k miles. when they degrade they start seeping coolant into the EGR circuit, and it then gets sooted up. people either replace the EGR valve, or clean the cooler. but that is a bandaid. if the cooler is sooted, it is leaking and needs to be changed. unfortunately when you ignore the cause of the symptoms and do a "quick fix" eventually the cooler fails and then you are knee deep in a slop pond. and that slop pond is usually 500 miles from anywhere, so the tow bill is gonna be almost what the truck is worth. i am not up on the 6.0 turbo other than sometimes the vanes will "stick" but like i said, i am not up on them so do not know what causes that.
  14. I would never ever delete anything on a 6.0 leave it stock and take care of it. We had 46 of them at the other job, all with over 500,000 miles on them. All also pure stock.
  15. the problem with the oil and egr coolers is they start leaking and the drivers ignore it. until it fails. if maintained properly they last damn near forever. only thing i do not like on that rig is the ESOF or as i call it "soccer mom" 4X4. they are problematic. i prefer manual shift 4X4
  16. 2 wheel drive, or 4 wheel drive? the 6.0 is a very good engine if maintained and not hot rodded. pay attention to it, and it will last damn near forever. a very good place for ford diesels is https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/index.php
  17. guys, lets keep it clean. no foul language please.
  18. i am kind of partial to whiskey marinated BBQ ribs.
  19. wow. here in New Jersey tandem dumps are legal with 20 ton. my single axle is legal with 14 ton!!
  20. my bet is you will be looking at just around 31,000 empty box full of fuel.
  21. back in the good old days, we never realized how hard it was not having power steering, air conditioning, or heat. the lack of those items kept us in shape. i remember many a time having the truck in the lowest gear possible, and standing up in the cab to get a better grip on the steering wheel for more leverage to turn the wheels.
  22. between $5,000 and $20,000. hard to say really, because something for sale is only worth what the buyer is willing to pay and the seller is willing to sell for. i saw a guy pay $110,000 for a buick grand national because he HAD TO HAVE IT. it was not for sale. but he had to have it and when his offer hit 110 grand, he was told sold. on the same lines, i bought a 97 Ford F-350 4X4 diesel for $400. all it needed was tires and two fuel tanks.
  23. just wait to see how much biden spends. you think trump and obummer waisted money? you aint seen nothin yet.
  24. i like the name: "the last one"
