Guys,

 

I need a group hug. You raise your kids the best you can. Teach them right from wrong. Protect them from peer pressure,mob mentality, and vice. But they can still go wrong. I am ashamed and embarrassed. Maybe there are facilities to treat this ailment, drugs, therapy, detox.

 

My son bought a Ford Powerstroke yesterday and I don't know what to do! :jester::cheers::lol:

Take him out back and shoot him. Thats about all you can do.

 

It's that or disown him. :jester:

 

:cheers:

 

 

If ya shoot him, then you don't have to deal with any stupid apologies 10 years down the road...plus there is always the insurance money.

Hey Art, if he still calls your place home, kick him to the curb, and then run him over with Gary's Burb. :cheers::jester:

Look at the bright side....he could have told you he was gay....or even worse......bought a Tundra. :jester:

 

Gay with a Duramax or straight with a Powerchoke. Deciding which is worse would be a real conundrum. Isn't buying a Tundra like a symbolic coming out of the closet? In truth I could have accepted a Dodge Cummins combo. A Cummins is undeniably a great engine. The platform it is planted in debatable.

If it makes you feel better, my cousin is on his 2nd Pstroke. He's been driving them for at least 5yrs now. He still seems ok. :lol:

Really? There is hope? No Judy Garland CDs and an obsession with Cher?

:D Nope. He's like 6'2", 350. Picture a 55 gallon barrel with legs and a beard.

 

He had a '98 but he let our uncle borrow it, and he totaled it. :cheers: But he has an '02? now I think. It has the 8.1L engine in it? I could be off, I don't know my Ford's. I wouldn't admit it on here, but that summabitch can pull. :lol:

      Navigating senior years.

      By Donstar · Posted

      Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      No doubt, I definitely agree with you. However, considering the 6.2 and 3.0 have been catastrophically failing with very little miles, I figured I would put trouble free. I’m at 18,4xx and still not a single issue.

      It’s never dry here but it gets hot. My 4 vehicles I keep at home drive an 18 mile loop. One 6 days a week. Two about 3 days each and one once a month. Only one goes on trips about 4 times a year 1000 to 2000 miles each time. One 26 years old gets driven once a month for 22 years. One 14 years old goes 6 days a week. The other two are recent at 2 and 4 years. All are performing normal no extra service other than that would be half of recommended or severe service in the maintenance manual. No extra water or steam out the exhaust or premature plug wear. I would consider an 18 mile loop would be enough. So apparently once a month at 18 miles for 22 years has kept the collector car running well. About 45 minutes a month.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By newdude · Posted

      It is working as designed.  NHT and non NHT trucks have the same exact transmission cooling setup.  NHT just gets a larger radiator.     The transmission cooler loop on these is as follows.     -Transmission out goes into an oil to water heat exchanger (item #1 in the first illustration below).  This exchanger has engine coolant opposite the transmission fluid and uses engine coolant to warm and then regulate the transmission fluid temperature when its in the operating window.   - From the cooler it goes to a thermal bypass valve (item #11 in the 2nd illustration below).  If the ATF has not reached the temp to open the bypass (194F), it loops back.   - When it reaches 194F, the thermostat opens and ATF then flows out to the oil to air auxiliary cooler (item #17 in the 2nd illustration) at the front of the truck.  From there it goes back to the transmission.     Your only fix would be to swap for the PPE thermal bypass delete block which will open the loop to the aux cooler all the time.  It will STILL run warm, probably 170-200F, but that's as low as you'll get it as its still flowing through the oil to water exchanger.
