Has much as I hate Ford products ass holes love them and easy as hell to sell once there fixed that is will finally start fixing this junk exploder I bought for $500 with bad timing chains and not running Monday. Can't wait till it's done to buy another piece of pile to fix and sell. The Ford is getting the engine pulled and fixed new sensors chains guides gears covers. Heads will get pulled and redone I think haven't decided yet. Entire front end control arms with ball joints links inner, outer tie rods shocks all way around brakes all way around, and tires. Hopefully that's it. Already got some guy to buy it. Don't know why people love these shit boxes but **** it.

That's funny, I definitely prefer GM in my business most people I dealt seemed to prefer fords 3/4 - 1 tons. They were usually over loaded and had tons of miles. They usually backed up crews that worked with land clearing equipment on different projects. If their trucks don't run they lose lots of money per day. Needless to say their going to buy the truck that they can depend on no matter what brand. There not usually the cheapest. Junks there not, work horses yes. I still own GM, mostly for performance.

One of my relatives owns an excavating business and all he buys are Fords, and he has nothing but trouble with just about every one he buys. Makes no sense to me.

That doesn't make sense, any profitable business person isn't going to keep buying products that fail.

We had a 1992 Exploder. Aside from a crappy 4WD, it was a good vehicle. The 4.0L V6 was very solid.

It sure doesn't, and we were always at a loss as to why he kept buying them. My Dad worked for him as a mechanic for a few years, and on and off before that. He hated every thing about working on the Ford's. We're also talking about a guy whose machines leak gallons upon gallons of oil every day, but he refuses to fix them. Simply put he's an idiot.

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
