I have benefitted by your experience again, Simon. Constant dtc 34, hard start, white smoke. Whacked the stepper, tried again, and it got a little better. Took it off and it's stuck bad, and had water or something like it comeing out! Miss you.

Welcome aboard!

Soo glad you're back. To me it doesn't seem that long ago that you dropped off the radar. Probably because I did too. We appreciate your wisdom and experience, and you don't seem like a bad guy.😜😁

Thanks for your concern for my safety.:angelic: I quit using Evans when I had to flush my reservior and couldn't afford another gallon of Evans. Stay cool my friend.

I agree, I've been using water wetter in my '67, the '70, and of course, my wife's '64. Can't remember which 1/4 mile champ swore by it, and distilled water, for his racers. There's a lot of stuff I can't remember; that "brain damage" in my avatar tag is real. I even failed my class of TBI...

After all the testing and documentation, isn't it generally understood that if your stock gauge reads 210, it's too late. There are pockets in the heads that have already gone into "the danger zone" and possibly are being damaged. Evans waterless coolant helps prevent the hot spots, but I've...

Welcome aboard. Too bad that trans won't work in that truck...for long. So, what's that pin point?

Conestogas were very heavy and expensive, did not have springs, not even a place to sit. They were built to haul heavy loads. The brake lever was on the side where a man walking could use it. Most of the wagons involved in the invasion of the West were regular farm wagons.

Matthew, please fill out your signature with truck details and EXISTING modifications- it really helps us help you.

You must be young; the wife is NEVER going to be done with the house. We've had Many houses over the decades, from brand new to old fixers, and it's never finished.

What he said. The knock off parts problem is like a plague. Bit me a few times. 2 Alternators among other things. The cheaper stuff is usually not worth the trouble to pay double in the long run.

Yup. it's not an uncommon swap, Hot Rod garage did one with an old Ford pick up. The Marquis, LTD also are body on frame, and if you keep the donor Dash, it keeps the electronics too. There's a few on YouTube.

PMD.

Wow. F.ing beautiful. Drop that cab on a Crown Vic frame and Zoom! very aerodynamic too. Love those split windshields.

Of course you replaced all the liquids and filters, right?

Call an exorcist. :vamp:"Truck is a 97, immaculate, with only 60k original miles "... sounds like a deal from heaven ... or...👿 Reminds me of Christine, a famous 1958 Plymouth Fury.

I've been using green 3M Scotchbritefor decades to scuff new rotors/shoes and drums/shoes. BIG difference in brake break in time. More like one stop. Also mentioned was rolling stops after heating them up. (Keeps the pads from crystalising the rotors in one spot, and the resulting pulsing...

My $.02 of experience. Brake lines: blocked or collapsed , caused front left to press piston but not release. Disc glowing red hot at bottom of hill. Hard to find braided Teflon lines so I got all 3 OEM style@ Napa. I rebuilt both calipers, replaced discs&pads. Checked the rears, Massive drums...

I have done this occasionally with uncooperative suppliers. Buy another one, return the old one for refund as if it's the new one. I'm talking about new starters. Did this 3 times during one month on lifetime warranty parts less than a month old. Without hesitation they FINALLY gave me a beefier...

This is my 3rd version of coolant protection, and have bounced a bird or two without any damage. I dry brush the bugs off the screen easily as necessary, and then hose it off from the top down to prevent squirting bug parts into the 'stack'. We have towed heavy from San Diego, CA to Austin, TX...
