There's a 92 Ford flare side pickup down the street. I see on like it on Craigslist. I think they are one in the same. That would be a fun project.
I'm thinking of a 6.0 and then bulletproofing it. I just don't see any in my price range. I can afford one but I see one's with 200K+ miles for like $14K-$16K and for F-250's. I'd like an F-250 or another F-350. KBB says mine is worth like $6K-$7K haha. My uncle got an 04 F-250 for $12K back in 2010 and it only had 90K miles or so at the time. I'm not sure if it's bulletproofed but he doesn't have any problems with it. I was shocked that he got it for that cheap, so was he.

My best friend has a 2010 F-350 with the 6.4 and it's pretty nice. It's a really nice ride, the seats are comfortable and you can turn the truck almost 180 degrees just by moving the wheel an inch haha. You basically have to move my wheel all the way around just to make a slight turn because it's so worn. Even his with 110K miles is like brand new.

What does this mean.....

I watched a film and one was on the phone he was talking about a bloke that " had a severe vitamin D deficiency ".... I know it wasn't favourable but can't work it out

Cheers

Often caused by not getting enough sunlight and,of course, other medical reasons but regardless of the reason, can cause some serious symptoms such as lethargy, depression, muscle aches, etc. and, if ongoing, more serious effects on other organs.

In 10 the reputation for the 6.0 was really bad. Most guys had them paid off and wanted to get rid of them and would do so at any cost. Flooding the market and reputation. Fast forward six years. The fixes have gone down in price, the fixes routine and the 7.3 reaching the end of their service life in many instances have raised the price of the 6.0 Super Duty. By 05 and on, there were some changes in the engine.

I'd tototally avoid a 6.4. The issues in a 6.4 when it lets go is three times the cost of a 6.0. A scanguage II or Torque app to keep a close eye on the engine is a must. Oil temp, coolant temp and FICM voltage being the main things to watch.

Mine started right up last night when it was 6 degrees out. I warmed it for 20 minutes before taking it for a drive.

Welp, my date for today flaked out on me for the second time. Nothing shuts down sexual juices and attraction like someone who is a flake.

Sexual Juices sounds like the name of a rock band. LOL. But if the flake flaked out, it seems you dodged a bullet.

Have an offer on MG's Harley and house. Both should be gone by year's end. Two less things to worry about.

Have a handyman coming this week to look at my thermostat & furnace. I don't mind it a bit cool in the house, but 50 - 55 is too much for these old bones when I'm here. And (of course) we are expecting that Article air to blast us. UGH. Crossing my fingers that I don't need a new furnace. I hate not being able to do it on my own.

Sorry to hear that. Flakey people really grind my gears. Major pet peeve of mine. People who are always late are a close second. I'm talking chronically late, not the occasional times.

If your furnace has a pilot light that won't stay lit, you may need to replace the thermocouple.

Thanks, Hawk. I can hear it click on, then that familiar "woosh" sound. It makes another noise as if it's really going to throw some heat, then "thunk", it stops. I think it worked at some point today while I was gone, because it's still almost 50 in here.

Anyway, I'm doing laundry so that the dryer can keep the basement warm, and I did some baking to keep the main floor warm. Sort of. LOL

I bought the thermostat last winter, but that didn't make a difference.

I DID treat myself to hair highlights (it's been years), so I look better while I snuggle in. Ha!

BTW: Go Green Bay!
