    Using stock upfitter switch

    Ok... I am ready to use one of the switches. I installed a 74 gallon in bed fuel tank for our upcoming trip. I need to route a 30 amp switched power wire to the fuel tank. The manual says switch one and two are 30 amp. Where do the wires end, so I can splice into one of the 30 amp switches, and...

    what would you charge per mile?

    I just saw $4.059 per gallon diesel fuel here, so if you get 12 mpg towing, fuel cost will be $1 for every three miles you travel. I don't see how trucking companies are making it. They will have to pass on the rising fuel costs to the customer, or go bankrupt. Trucks getting 4 mpg, are paying...

    Flu is going around here on the left coast.

    I think the wife is getting worse. I will take her to the doctor tomorrow. Her lungs have a lot of fluid and coughs all day and night. I am still coughing, but not as bad as she is. Both of us still do not have any energy. I went to Les Schwab and got two new front tires and tubes for one of our...

    Our first electric washer.

    What is bad is when you go to a museum and find everything in it are things you used as a kid. :eek:

    Our first electric washer.

    Great find...:clap: Bush, that is exactly what we used before the first washer. I remember my grandmother using a wash board exactly like the one you show. She had a large metal tub and put the washboard in the tub and scrubbed the clothes. Then hung them on the clothes line to dry, with...

    ROI (Return on Investment) Pay back

    Some of us, like Big Joe, WD, etc. have more money than time left to spend it. We took out $73,000 to purchase our truck and 5th wheel, but if we were younger, I probably would not have bought the rig, but would have used a car to travel and stay at motels. In the long run, it would have cost...

    Our first electric washer.

    You found it!!!! Actually I had the very first pcat 6 mhz computer in Redding. I had to format the hard drive and install dos. When dirt was young.

    QUARTER MILE TIMES

    Sorry Zookie,,, you are right... This will be my last post on this thread about the FE... As I said before, Edelbrock has the aluminum equivalent to the cj, scj heads. They are around $1,400 a pair complete. Crane has the valve train and cams. Very affordable for the hp achieved.

    Our first electric washer.

    Awhile back we were talking about appliances we used when we were a kid, and I found a picture like the first electric washer my Grand Mother purchased.

    F350,Crew cab,dually,4x4,4.10 gears, automatic: I do not see how you hope to get great mileage with this combination. F250, std cab, 2wd, 3.55 gears, srw, and manual transmission is going to give you the best mpg. That being said, we did 21 mpg at 55-60 mph empty. We still average...

    QUARTER MILE TIMES

    They are very durable. When using the cj or scj heads with the 2.09 intake valves and 1.66 exhaust, you need a bore of at least 4.13 for good air flow around the valves. The stock 390 is a 4.05 bore. Stock 428 is 4.13 bore. Most 390s can be bored safely to 4.13 or even 4.16 but the blocks need...

    Any one else have a lab?

    Labs rule... We have always had Labs, except for Luke. They are intelligent, friendly, and great dogs. Of course all dogs rule....:D

    How true,,,, How true....:D Only thing is that when you are older, you have to sneak up on things, instead of rushing into things. :fogey

    Flu is going around here on the left coast.

    Would you believe that this flu bug is still hanging on. It has been 15 days since we got sick, and we are 95% over it, but still have lingering symptoms. I think we should buy stock in Kleenex.

    I hope everybody sprung.

    When you are retired, time change does not mean much. I get up, when I wake up, read the paper, until wife has breakfast on, then after breakfast, look at the weather, then decide on what I want to do for the day. After the Nascar race, I think I will load up the wife and dog and go for a drive...

    Sell F250 for F150?

    Fuel prices will probably not go down in the very near future. Buy what ever vehicle that you can afford and pay cash for it, keeping in mind what you need a vehicle for. If it is just for transportation, then something that gets good mileage and is low maintenance. Later on, when you get more...

    QUARTER MILE TIMES

    No, the 332 was the first FE block. It was mainly used in trucks. They did make a hp 352 way back when, but the best Ford heads for the FE are High Riser, Medium Riser,Tunnel Port and the SOHC. Back in the day, Ford made some aluminum heads for the A/C Cobras that where medium and high risers...

    Just found out why my fuel mileage is junk (turbo carnage)

    Hey Bama; I know this is not what you want to see happening to your PSD. I hope you find the cause of the problem, and get it fixed soon. :sorry

    Lonely trip

    We are not set up for bio diesel, so we will be paying what ever the price is. We did purchase a 74 gallon in bed fuel tank, so we can be a little less dependent on the higher cost stations. With 38 gallons in the main tank and 74 gallons in the auxiliary tank, that will give us 105 gallons of...

    Lonely trip

    Will do... From all that we have heard, Branson has something for everyone. My wife's cousin retired in San Diego, and moved to Branson a year ago. She and her husband love it there. They have a house down by the lake. We plan on spending two weeks there, so we can see all the shows and...

    Lonely trip

    No, the Doc just said that there are 13 different strains going around Redding right now. Seems like everyone we know either has it or is getting over it. It goes straight to the lungs, and you don't have any energy, which is hard on young and old people. Everyone that we know that had a flu...

    How to Deal.....

    Some good advice, some not so good. It takes time to heal love wounds. I like the advice on showing just how well adjusted you are since she left. Get involved with some project that will keep you busy, and help others. It is hard to feel sorry for yourself when you are helping others. Big...
