Worst Thing That's Happened

Well the front end was destroyed by a kid trying to be "cool" doing donuts in a parking lot. Not two months after it was fixed, a semi drove over the front end at work. Now I knew Fords were bad luck, but anyone else constantly being hit?

When it rain's it pours... for some in threes. Hopefully things turn around for you.

 

So where abouts in Pittsburgh. I lived in Plum for 8 years and loved it.

2 years ago I was a senior in highschool. Living by my self at my dads house dog sitting for him he was away at work for the entire winter. I had a Mitsubishi Eclipse and A mustang cobra at the time. Drove the eclipse in the winter. Well the the tranny had went out in the eclipse one winter night so I was forced to drive my mustang back and forth to school. ( Northern wisconsin they dont plow) and it wasnt a week later I was driving about half mile from my house, went to take a turn and the car didnt turn. Ripped the E Brake and went sideways into the ditch hitting a mail box and a tree. Pretty bad week I would say. Learn by lessons. Lesson is, buy a truck.

a deer hit me(i passed it going 15 mph and it bolted and ran up and over in front of me) then a drunk girl backed across an empty parking lot into my rear quarter panel and took off, i diden't notice it until i heard this freakish grinding noise on the interstate....yeah it ended up being the bent to hell mudflap scraping the tire..

my roommate borrowed my truck at about 4am one morning to go see a "friend" who lived in a gated apartment complex which had a keypad entry about 3 feet tall. He put the code in and drove about three feet and took a hard left (he drives a honda accord usually). The keypad made contact about 3 inches back from the front of the bed on the drivers side and it stretches all the way to about a foot from the very back. Probably need a whole new bed, the scratch is deep and wide enough that it seems impossible to fill and definitely impossible to pull out. Couldn't file a police report at the time because we were both hammered and he's been putting back $200 a month since it happened back in october to get it fixed, but I haven't had any free time to even get an estimate on the damage.

Let's see....this past October, one of my 10 year-old students thought it'd be funny to write her name onto my tailgate. But since my truck was a bit dirty, her finger dragged dirt across the paint, and made scratch marks. My truck now has "Tara" etched into it. :D

Pete I feel your pain. Went to get in my truck after work yesterday and someone decided to write wash me on my drivers door and Now I got some nice scratches to fix.

Was somewhere i wasnt suppose to be and i ran over a downed fence that i didnt see, and in my hurry to get out i dragged the side of my truck against a fence post which left some nice scratch marks

so far, a scratch caused by the dealership service department 2 weeks after I bought it.... They would repaint but I think at this point I'd rather leave it original paint than have them repaint the rear of the truck for this

Well it wasn't my truck but it was my Dads truck, he lent it to a friend to move his mattress and when he was driving it to his house it got totaled when another truck ran a red light at the intersection. BTW the truck was only 7 weeks old. He was pissed but I would be too.

I was driving along with traffic when everyone in front of me slammed on their brakes and I couldn't stop in time so I swerved over into the turning lane. The turning lane and the shoulder had a bunch of lose gravel which caused me to fishtail. I did all I could not to hit the line of cars on my left or the wall on my right. In the end I hit the wall instead of the cars and flipped my car. You never know how you will react when something like that happens but all the things they say to do in an emergency just kicked in. I turned the car off, unbuckled my seat belt (I held my self in place between the steering wheel and the seat so the seat belt didn't even tighten), did a little role/flip out of the seat and pushed the door open and stepped out. It wasn't till about 10 minutes later I realized it really happened. I did meet some nice people, one lady stopped and made sure I was ok but she had to rush off cause she said she had an arrest warrant. There was another nice guy who was at my driver side door as I was standing up, he guided me to curb and then was kind enough to ask if I had "any thing" I needed him to get from the car before the cops showed up. Other then that the time I took my nice new truck to the dealer and they offered to replace my seat covers because of the lint issue. They had a new guy do it as the normal guy was out of town. None of my seat covers were on tight or straight. Most of the plastic trim was scratched or broken and my steering wheel was scratched. The guy taking the seats out and putting them back in scratch the door jams from front to back (extended cab) on both sides down to the metal in some places. I spent months and months waiting for replacement parts to come in and for them to repaint the truck. In the long run I got to know most of the people at the dealership and they got to know me, they also only let certain people touch my truck anymore so I guess that's a positive.

I was backing into a parking spot at a gas station and struck the edge of a metal frame on a pay phone that was behind the parking spot. The truck was barely moving. This caused a 2-3" long crease in the very bottom right hand side of the tailgate. It's not that big of deal but still makes me mad at myself for doing it.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
