So what did you do with your truck today?

[IDIBRONCO]

But I put about 30 gallons of diesel on the road between Dwight and home. There is fuel on everything. Down both sides of my truck, down the underside, all over the engine and transmission. Fuel everywhere... guess I’ll have to wash it tomorrow.

Just look at that as degreaser.
Dwight. That's where I saw the only Mustang GTA that I've ever seen in real life.

Random.. but wondering how much weight you guys would comfortably put in the bed for a couple hour trip? Looking at 1500-2000lb (45lb weight plates) and wondering how it'd handle that for a 3hr move.

I'd do it. Just don't try to NASCAR along any curvy roads. Take it easy and you'll be fine. OH wait. NASCAR only turns left. Just don't try to do any Indy car along curvy roads.

Thanks! Have our trucks ever even heard of Nascar or Indy? I've raced fully loaded dump trucks and school busses and they never even know it as they pull away..

Maybe not, but I'll bet anything that some of the drivers are fans.

It may have been the elbow hose at the turbo outlet, looks like it slid a half inch off. Shame there's no barb there to hold the boot on. Just slid it back on for now should be good. I'll find out tomorrow.

Pull the boot off, clean it really good and spray some hair spray on both pieces. After that's clamped down and dry you won't have to worry about it slipping off again. Have had to do that to several tuned 6.0 and 6.4's to keep them from blowing the boots off.

I'll give that a try!
I tightened them both up and didnt experience any boost leaks on the way home, so its definitely one of the two.

Just joined today but this was over weekend. Nearly lit the truck on fire (out of frustration) getting things to fit. Maybe I’ll let it burn one day soon

Realized might be easier to connect AFTER engine is in and not as one unit. Tcase constantly in the way too.

Got the Lseat leather seat upholstery installed today, little loose but I didn't use any added foam or decron. I'm still pretty happy with them! The color is navy blue which is a custom option.
370$ shipped from Texas, can't beat that!

Those bucket seats look nice, I prefer bench seats because I can wear my straw hat without hitting the seat back....Besides my sweetie can sit next to me as we drive to the
ranch or the range ( same place- different pasture).

Welcome to the Forum.
Lot easier to drop in Engine w/o Trans etc... hanging on
the end of it.
Is that a Power Stroke? Valve Covers look different.

Thanks they are pretty comfortable they are from a aeronose truck and the driver side is actually a factory powered seat! These are a bench as well, I've taken a nap on them on my lunch break and I've had 2 people up front with me one in middle getting in the way of the shifter and one in passenger seat

That's ok as long as she looks nice. I never minded that myself.

My lady did ask me why I didn’t put a bench back in my truck… she likes to sit close, but the 40/20/40 buckets I swapped in aren’t great for that. The 40/20/40s in my Dodge are much flatter, but she has told me she likes the 91 Ford better, seats are more comfortable unless you are trying to sit halfway in the middle and drivers seat… I have a habit of sitting closer to the door than the average driver… she usually makes me scoot over closer to the middle when she wants to sit with me though

But, cupholders are all too nice, center console ain’t too bad to lean one’s arm on when driving without anyone else in the truck. Otherwise I’d probably just go with a floor mounted cupholder, if I didn’t like the console so much. I like my lady better than the console , but she doesn’t get to ride in my truck all that much.
