What have you done to your ride lately?

Probably so, I do know the front cover is leaking and I'm scheduled to bring it in next week to have that fixed. From what I've read, this and the upper oil pan seem to be common oil leaks on this gen 6.7 engine. Looks like they went away from the solid gasket to silicone and the corners don't get enough at the factory or some shit. I'm just glad mine started under warranty

No matter the model, ford diesels leak. Keeps the chassis from rusting away, or at least that's what i tell myself :)

Nice! What made you change your mind?

Wiring is easier, platform is better supported and the 5.3 is physically smaller than the 1UZ

Oh I know Diesel =leaks, I run a bus maintenance shop lol
But at 27k? I'll have it fixed under warranty and once that's up I'll let it rust proof all it wants just like my DT466's and Detroit 50 series do lol

Someone needs to buy my 81 and the 1UZ to make a marriage in Heaven.

Why don't you just buy the 1UZ and stop looking for a pussy wagon?

I will give it a good home. How about $3.50

The UPS truck driver is not going to like me, I order Z36 truck & tow brake kit with rotors, front and rear for the Ferd.

1 box is 59lbs, the other is 67lbs, not much room for turn around at the shop, they carry them to the shop, lol

UPS Truck had a different driver today, smaller truck, he was able to deliver straight to shop, win, win.

When you pushed on the driveshaft, how much did it move in the carrier bearing?

I still haven't checked this again. I'll try to remember to do that here soon.

I did stick my head down there and had my wife drive when we left the house the other day. It still sounds like it's coming from the front. Very much like trucks do after a lift and the installer doesn't torque down the alignment cams. Since I replaced with the Duralast/Dorman LCAs not that long ago, and they have a lifetime warranty, I'm going to swap out the DS LCA and see what if any change that makes. I noticed some deeper-than-I-would-expect scratches on it when I was under there last. The rust it caused is what caught my eye.

The truck is so close to running. Thought I'd have it running tonight. But I need one hose for the trans cooler and I need to buy some hose clamps to replace all the garbage factory ones I cut/destroyed in the process of taking everything apart. Once I get that line on I can crank her up and see if I did it right.

Those appear to be some really small links. Maybe the blue makes them look smaller.. like blue balls??

Was going to change the oil in the Equinox tonight but whoever did it last must have put the drain bolt in with an impact. I got fee up trying to get it out and told her to take it somewhere. Figure worst case they fuck it up and the thing implodes. They'll be doing me a favor.

One of my mechanics has one of those turds, his wife picked it out and he hates it.

Yep, I had nothing to do with her buying this thing. She overpaid for it and I cant stand the piece of junk. Hoping another year or two and she'll be ready to buy the 4Runner she wants.

That last big hail storm we were in almost totaled his. He was pissed that it didn't.
