30 year old truck, back when a truck looked like a truck

This one's been gettin' me around for 20 years. Think I'll keep it for another 20. There's much to be said about an old 4 wheel drive "doolly"!


Gonna have to find me some racist bumper stickers though.

I forgot to add, my grandaughter asked me a while back if we're still supposed to call it the "White" House?

Kids, ya gotta luv their logic!

No shit--got a co-worker of mine has a Ford F-350, King Ranch, diesel, 4X4, loaded.  You can crush TWO Priuses and still have money left over.

I got a 1988 F-250 diesel, but the engine gave up on me back in the winter.  After 255,000 miles, it either blew a head gasket, or dropped a valve seat.  All I know is, when I went to start it, it went "CLANK".

I need to have it fixed by June, so I can pull my new 26' Wildwood trailer to the beach.  My 2002 Jeep Cherokee CAN pull it, but it's tongue is still hanging out from dragging it to and from Bristol over the weekend.  SO, either re-gear the Jeep (about $1,000), or fix the diesel (about $500-1,500).  

Decisions, decisions...   :confused:

Teabagger pickup this morning...
   
There was a teabagger at the orthodontist's office this morning - jacket covered in "don't tread on me", "take our country back", etc. buttons. I left right behind him and he got into a beat-up pickup with a tool box and ladder rack...

There is the reason this DUmmy hates the pick-up truck owner.  He obviously has a job and the skills that go along with said job, is self sufficient and in no way dependent on the govenment to provide for him.

Ya might check to see if it has "sleeves". Mine's an '87 and I believe I have pulled a sleeve. Pretty easy to fix, but ya gots to pull the damn thing completely apart! Lotta labor when ya have a bad back, but there's no way I could replace it for what I have in it!

You can tell if ya run a compression check. It's either a valve, which is preferable, or it's a sleeve. Just fixin' the head is pretty simple stuff. If it's a sleeve, yer lookin' at removin' everything includin' the oil pan, which usually on a 4x4 is easier outa the truck!

The way diesel prices have escalated, I'm lookin' at droppin' in a big block gas motor. After all, I'll get caught eventually, runnin' my farm diesel in it anyway! Hehehehehehehehe!

If this douche is lurking - I'd seriously like a couple of them stickers.

It will make up for me not being able to find a source of the "Fertilize the Bush - Doze in a hippy" sticker (done up in Catâ„¢ colors ) I saw several years ago.


Actually, one can buy printable magnetic sheets. All one would need to do after it is seal it so it doesn't bleed when it gets wet. Easy to make all sorts of magnets to torment primitives with.

Yours must have the 6.9L, mine is one of the first of the 7.3's.  They are very similar engines, but I doubt it's a sleeve.  I've run into that on some OLD International farm tractors (ever hear of a TD-340?)  They had a "dry sleeve" engine.  Some of the later "B" engines were "wet sleeve".

My thoughts run towards a dropped valve/valve seat.  Back in 2001, when I put a Hypermax turbo kit on it (used), I soon discovered the turbo had a bad oil seal.  If the truck idled for even a couple of minutes, it would allow enough motor oil into the manifold that the engine would rev out of control for a few seconds.  It could have floated a valve, which would eventually lead to valve failure.  It actually topped 4,500 rpm a couple of times.  Hopefully, no damage was done to the piston or head.

I've dodged the bullet with "farm diesel" once around here.  I came thru one of their road checks on the way to the dump (trash, not DU), and went home the "back way".  You would think the "OIL BRNR" personalized plates might have given it away.  LOL  I have plans to make a "double tank" for possible future checks.

If you use your truck close to home, you could get away with "farm use" painted on the back of an expired plate.  Virginia law states that farm use dyed diesel cannot be used in vehicles licensed for use on public roads.  Farm use isn't licensed.   :naughty:
