Important

it should be a ZF5, same as what the diesel trucks had, just a different bellhousing.

A buddy up here swapped out his auto for a zf5 in his 95 Ford 350 crew cab with a 460...he had put more than one auto in his truck...

May have a lead on a Mosin M44 on the gun forum i'm on. Was hoping for him to get ahold of me today so i could pick it up. My guess is that he sold it.
 
A buddy's dad has this truck topper forsale. If anyone is interested let me know. I can get it as far as the badlands this next weekend.

95 degrees out w/a heat index of 105. 52% humidity and a dew point of 75 degrees.

Freakin' hot and it's getting hotter starting tomorrow. :flame:

Hope the AC holds out
 
Meanwhile, sitting outside is a 2004 Z71 w/56k on it. Crap-ton of options (no leather) HD tow package.

Oh, and the AC blows cold! :shiver:

Now, to deal with the engine on the heep so I have something to tow!

I spent the day pulling downed limbs in the orchards today, so that the harvesters can get through starting on Tuesday. Not as hot as it was on the west side of Lake Michigan, but still very easy to get heat stroke.
 
Okay... Blue Oval brigrade... was down at the local dealer, kinda looking at trucks.

Found a 94 F-350 with the 460. Yea, I know the arguments about getting a diesel. But I put a total of 7k on my vehicles the last year. I just wouldn't gain enough economy from one.. to justify the extra care and feeding of a diesel.

Anyhow.. I was really kinda looking for an auto, so the wife could drive it if she needed it. The truck is listed as an auto on the dealers website.. I get there.. and lo and behold its a manual. So which tranny is the OD tranny, and is it any good?



Well they changed the list sometime today... Here is the truck...

Last night's thunderstorms wreaked havoc on one of my brother's orchards. 6 of us spend 12 hours pulling out downed limbs & trees. Probably a quarter to a third of the trees have fractured, many of them whole trees down. He figures he's already lost 75 tons of fruit in that block alone.
 
First day back to work so im trying this out. so far so good

Did you hear those Tards who took over as DJs play a new RHCP song at least 4 times in a row? Where did they get these guys? Im done with this station(q101). Looks like I'm gonna be playing the crap outta my Pandora stations at work from now on.
 
Anybody ever syphon gas? Just suck on a clear hose?

I filled the manche up about an hour before it blew up and i need the gas in the car to get to work lol.
