  1. What a good feeling it is for sure.before you go back to the ruckuss
  2. Im gonna do a refresher and look at my notes.Ibeleive there is a bearing between both impellers.I wounder if the bearing went and kapluieee.Possibly starving from oil.2.2ltr turbo chryslers had this problem.
  3. colpoys bay for me to clear my head in a day
  4. Its always an adventure regardless of the situation.Apassion yes,A fever yes,Something that the doctor should check up on, so the wife says ,absolutely nooooooooot.When i sit in limbo from soft to hard water I dream of spring time as I get ready for ice.and drooling doing so.for both.What really makes me more ambitious is when I take my two girls out on an adventure as such,and they get something on regardless of what it is.The excitement and joy that come from them brings back memories of me and my dad headin out early for fishing.And it reminds me of me way back then.
  5. Geeze I wonder if there is a ford tech guy on board here and sitting still. Not start an arguement just their opinion in the matter.
  6. that I realize.It is hard on the vehicle itself.But geeze irish a blown turbo at 70000ks or so if im right.and never plowed with yet.They should of got it on the first complaint.Mind you I have seen a lot of you know hows going overboard with there trucks.For this unit in particular I do not know the specs.Is he in the right I dont know for sure.Should he play stupid yes and make notes.As I am always on the receiving end and trying to figure out what went wrong.I never get the full story.As a mentor always taught me there are three sides to a story.I try to read between the lines because I will never know the truth.Sorry irish just my 2 cnts worth.
  7. Correct if I am wrong.In the adverts on larger and more powerful trucks whether it is a ford or dodge or gmc.Do they not show them as being a work truck.If they are advertising them as being a workaholic vehicle and can take on some of the toughest jobs.Or are they just showing all of us that they can take a payload of some sort and splash a lot of mud,tow etc.My cherokee can splash like that plow and tow a boat etc.And mine is a 94 and still going.If they are adv that way then the dealer should not have an issue ,they are built to work,not grocery shopping.just my 2cnts worth.
  8. Save your energy,and use the drill untill you can afford a power auger.Save youre energy for the hike in and out.As I did.I dread cutting all day with a hand auger.I still do from time to time.
  9. I wonder what my 91 linc town could do with that module.Im druelling but I blew the trannydoing donuts and hit the shifter by accident.
  10. ASk for the insp tech and get his opinion in person infront the head tech,youll be surprised.Im glad I started at a general shop(heavy trucks).I got my hands on everything.Nothing left without the head inspecting the work personally.I would never work for a dealer unless I was desperate for work.I find now that most apprentices are doing clean ups and oil changes thats it.And when there ready too write for there coq.Thats the guy insp your buds truck.Sorry chief I see this too often
  11. Did your friend when first bringing it to the dealer,mention any lack of power on acceleration or so.These turbo deisels do make a lot noise6,6.4 and esp 7.3ltr.If Im correct the turbo is on the rear top of the engine.If there was an issue a stethascope should of targeted it or even a peice of wood to the ear.With the complaint the tech could of taken the hose off and inspect the impeller for excessive play or even impeller damage.
  12. thank you sir
  13. Is there still a fee and how much if anyone knows?I remember it costing about 2o bucks in the late 80s.Incuding shipping.Ill try for the pfd file.
  14. Does anyone have any info on ice conditions at dunville as of today.Would like to head out on monday.
  15. Years ago i had the entire fisheries act for ont.The changes in the act where also sent on a yearly basis from sanford fleming college.All in paper format for my binder.Its been a long time now,CanI still get the act this way or strictly in pdf form.I like it in print to make my personall notes.Is it still available through the library there?
  16. Santa was good to me also,new themals, a coat and 2 plainers boards.hehe.one left and one right.The kids now think its to steer the tobagin with your feet.one on the left and the other I told them.It will put you in the drink on my sled. One fast ice sled on the hills i tell ya.
  17. My pike was about the same size in the open river and lost a huge pickerel.
  18. I recognize him from caledonia santa hat and all.I hope his bellys full.Mine will be soon.Little minnow theif.3 times today.Ill get you.
  19. Arent they a great bunch at bills bait.I was there this morning to wish them a merry xmass and all,and to get my bait.There was only two of us on the grand one on each side.Me on the north.Lost a lunker pickerel and nailed a baby pike.
  20. My boat ins is a seperate policy for sure.I estimated the replacement cost of what I baught it for and put into it and some more.Im a lic truck mechanic.The expenses that most people have is paying someone.I can cut my costs down to min for parts and such.Which will put more towards the boat in case of any mishaps.ps when you go to buy parts there are always 2 prices on the invoice on the commercial end.The lesser I always get.Usually about half the price of what goe blow pays and thinking hes getting a discount.I rebuilt my 140 mercruiser for about(total rebuild)including 2 cracks in the block,crank turned,head redun,piston rings,2 new piston heads,cam,cam bearings,and gears etc for about a grand plus a hun or two.2500 elsewhere for a running engine rebuilt with warranty.
  21. I asked for plainer boards,the kids think its something to do with tobagining(to go faster and straighter).I had a good chuckle and kept it at that.I will see in the morning what santa brought me.What did you guys get and was it something you asked for fishing wise.A few years back I asked for an ice fishing sled and I got it(an otter),the kids thought it was a tobagin,I installed skiis to it and guess what.We took it out on the hills.That is one fast sled,and towed it behind a 4 wheeler,she held at 30mph.the otter is one strong sled.
  22. I wonder if it will fit onto my bowrider,that would save me some trouble.going out on my own.
  23. i want dibs on those eggs
  24. thank you sir,and to you as well.best wishs to you and your family this holiday season.Im waiting up for santa tonight,well i will try anyway.A glass of milk with cookies and maybe a teaser in the milk.
