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

I have a huge stiffie for diesels. 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. http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-19...100-Pickup.jpg |

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. |

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.
