You won't get a Power Stroke for that money or ow mileage but I'll keep an eye out for an OBS IDI.

Cleaning out the P Traps is good advice. I have to do the one in our office sink about once every 6 months. It looks intimidating but only takes about 5 minutes. Last time I pulled out eight coffee stirrers.

They were pretty popular cars. Not much power but popular with people who wanted a car that looked sporty. The 289 only had 210 HP which was way out classed by cars like the Chevelle, GTO, 442 etc. Hi Performance parts like intake manifolds, headers cams were more expensive than ones for say small block Chevys that came from the factory with up to 165 more HP. "Back in the day" you needed to put close to $1000 into the engine alone just to match what the other manufacturers were selling off the showroom floor.

I have a bunch of pairs of Smartwool socks but they have mostly shrunk and the elastic tops get pretty tight as the day wears on so it's time to get some new ones as soon as I find them on sale that is.

Depends on the plant whether annual or biannual. No matter what the rain is a good thing. Hopefully more to come in just a couple weeks. I have not heard the term biannual are you referring to biennial?

Yes the 51 was an FN action and the 53 a model 70. http://www.hoosiergunworks.com/catalog/cross_reference.html#cross

Auto Zone will read the codes for free and give you a printout.

Just charge them and check them once a month. You can charge them the day or to before you need them. Did you get a trolling motor too?

Maybe four.

I was near Warner and McQueen and it rained for about 30 minutes starting about 9:30.

Congrats, second day is great. Tell us about the hunt when you have time.

Is there water in the oil? Maybe a sparkplug blew

I'll get a hold of you today. My problem is I don't have a place to put it, live in an apartment.

Tom, I should be able to do it on Saturday and I can come to you as I'm in Mesa. I've done a few over the years.Flat plug or round plug?

How does someone pass the emissions test with that modification? No idea. I just hear about people doing that and straight piping the cat. My truck is pretty much stock and it was one of the only years that did not have a cat.

I would say its more the upfront costs and the fixes that kill you then the maintenance. Yes oil changes are more expensive but thats not huge. I buy a new F150 eco boost max tow every two years. I put 99500 miles on them and then trade. The last one I got was $35200 off the lot. A comparable diesel woulda been just shy of $50,000. Thats almost $15,000 difference. If I trade every two years thats $7500 a year. I got ostracized on here for saying I spend $2000 a year on out of state tag applications as being a rich guy, I would say that anyone who owns a diesel spends far far more then that just to listen to it hum. Dont get me wrong there are people out there who truly need them, but I would say 99% if diesel owners dont. I pull probably 10,000 miles a year with mine. I farm part time so its anythkng from combine headers to seed wagons (15,000#) to my camper, but in my opinion I still dont pull enough to justify an extra $7500/yr in cost. If you break something on a diesel its gonna be $5-10k for literally anything in them. I see these guys talking about this motor or that and the say 6.4L is great you just have to do this delete and that bulletproofing. If Im gonna spend $50k for a pickup I better not have to take it to some aftermarket dude with a flat brim hat to spend another $10k to make it work. Thats my 2 cents on diesel!!! As my uncle (a lifetime mechanic) used to say. The three Ts of diesel: Trucks Tractors and Trains! (Dont get me started on pickup vs truck, we are referring to pickups here. Trucks have more then two axles. you need 5 gasser oil changes by the time you need 1 diesel oil change. diesels especially 4x4 hold their value better than any gas truck. f150 has the worst resale value. I change the oil every 5K on my diesel, 15qts. That is the factory recommendation, sure you can go longer but to do so you should add a bypass filter and do a UOA to see whats happening to the viscoscity, copper buildup etc.

If you decide on a Ford stay away from the 6.0 and 6.4's. You can do a DEF delete kit for the 6.7 and I can put you in touch with Chris Rollins in Mesa who has a shop and can talk to him about trucks and he can do an inspection on one for you before you decide to buy it. He specializes in Fords but works on Chevys and Dodges in his shop too. There is a guy who runs a transporter buisenss and Chris does his maintence. The guy has over 700K on his 6.7 Chris is pretty well known and he just had a guy ship his truck from Hawaii for him to do a bunch of work on it. Business is called Rowdy Racks. Shares the building with Caswells.

I'll fire up the walk-in cooler to keep the beer cold Shelvin. Actually, I'm not going to be here for the open house. I'll be moving a lot of my things to Tonto Basin. Peg will assist with our realtor. TJ Maybe I missed it but I thought you were going farther north to Show Low.

Big fan of Talley Light Weight Rings on Tikkas.

Why 10#'s? That's a heavy rifle for hunting.

DId they find this guy?

F'n sign me up for some of that.
