ummm....






So anyway I just read an article about the tundras snapping camshafts, cracking tailgates, shitty torque converters, etc. Might only be referring to the new ones though.

Nice truck chris. If i was going to spend money on something newer Id buy a toyota. When we going to see some updates on the race car >:D

Re: My grandpa truck
 

Soon but with school,my shop,making music and running things to make money time is short. I finished the motor.Im proably going to buy Beau's old air/water cooler if he still has it shortly.


Then all the headaches happen I cant wait.

Sweet, those are good trucks, we have 3 for work vehicles. They're extremely reliable, but the generation after that one doesn't stand up to trees at 40 mph like I thought it should.

Japanese vehicles in general aren't the sturdiest things ever. If you want a sturdy reliable truck I say nothing beats an early 90's Ford.

Re: My grandpa truck
 

HAHAHAHA

ARE YOU SERIOUS? :3

Re: My grandpa truck
 

Fixed, if I was going to buy something new it would be a Toyota or maybe wait for the Tundra dually diesel :6

Re: My grandpa truck
 

Nice truck should be a good tow rig for your race car.Any pics of the race car?

Re: My grandpa truck
 

nice truck Chris, how much and how many miles are on it?

Re: My grandpa truck
 

Eh, I'm going to vote an 80's Ford for bang-for-the-buck toughness. The ex-gf's little sister hopped in my 87 Bronco and took out an Escort, drove over the front end of a Peugot 405, and annihilated the front end of a CRX without exceeding 15 mph. There was a scratch in the front bumper you had to squint and look closely to see.

I'd rather have something newer like chris' Tundra for towing and stuff, though. I have a huge stiffie for diesels.

Re: My grandpa truck
 

that truck is practically new from what Ive seen of it. I dont even think its been off road :3

Re: My grandpa truck
 

Me too.
Excluding Powerstrokes and VW cars.

Re: My grandpa truck
 

Thanks,Little over 100k. I got a nice inside deal on it. :)
I went camping 2 weeks ago it touched dirt.
Look under staff and under my section

Re: My grandpa truck
 

i hit a light pole in bad weather, my truck was totaled at 35mph. bent frame, cracked it, bed was fucked, motor mount cracked, block cracked from motor mount, and bent the spring hanger


1981-1984 was the best years of the f150 in the 80's, along with the 88-89.

87 was buggy from efi first year, and 84.5-86 = emissions EEC III (precursor to eec-iv) cept it had no fuel adjustments.

1973 f150 ftw.

Re: My grandpa truck
 

If I was towing something of real weight not a paper light civic or Honda parts cars I would get a diesel but the cost on them especially out here where its the new craze is out of control. If gas keeps going the way its going though I may have to get my crx smogged and on the road again. Not use to v8 gas mileage.

Re: My grandpa truck
 

Fixed it for you.

The only problems I, or any of the early EFI F150/Broncos I've fixed, had were with engine ground straps going bad, EGR (classic Ford problem regardless of era), and the ignition module.

Re: My grandpa truck
 

Sorry, late 80's not early 90's... big whoop.

Re: My grandpa truck
 

Damn right those old trucks were made of like 7k lbs of solid steel and sex appeal
