  1. Another Rear Leaf Spring Thread - Extreme edition

    I think you are on the right track. This failure isn't simply inconvenient, it can be life threatening. And Ford ignores it.
  2. Darwin Award Thread

    WOW! Hit forehead face forward! I 'm surprised it didn't knock him out cold. He has to have had a severe concussion! That HAD to be painful. He slid face down head first the last 5'-10'. And the sat up! Yeah, the wife banned me from going any closer than 1 cut width from the wall. I'm...
  3. Darwin Award Thread

    I drove my Wheel Horse tractor off a 5' retaining wall, and did a severe number on me! That guys hit was FAR worse.
  4. Darwin Award Thread

    I think he simply froze in fear... then realized the inevitable and attempted to avoid it. He would have done better to hang on and take the hit. He had 3 options, jump just prior to the full extension and hit the water, hang on and take the hit, or let go on the way back. He took the worst...
  5. You might be a Redneck if...

    I had neighbors that had 2 or 3 of them, and several swamp buggies as well. All home made. Most swamp buggies had treads with the engine 4'-5' up, and a platform another 2' above the engine. They weren't fast, but they could easily trek through the the South Florida swamps in relative...

    Oh No You Didn't! :LOL:
  7. Transmission "Jolt" when stopping - Feels like something hitting the bed

    This happened to me all too often when my transmission was misbehaving. hard shifts and coming to a stop it felt like i was being rear ended. I had lots of other symptoms as well. I had thoughts of slop in my differential, but it was all in the transmission. Swapped out Pan for PPE deep...
  8. Wondering if anyone has ever requested / checked / reviewed the data Amazon has collected on you?

    I just did and it is more extensive than I had thought. They don't toss out ANYTHING! Below are the file folders in the Zip file I just rec'd. These are the folders of data they had on file about me. I'm attaching a File Description CSV file that sent with the data that gives the 58 file...

    I got a bridge in Brooklyn I'll sell you!

    Life is hard... but it's a lot harder when you are an arrogant idiot!
  12. 10R80 transmission poll.

    But it should not be unexpected. Ford's track record is dismal.
  13. Saying goodbye to my beloved Ranger 😪

    It really is all about needs. My perfect truck is a Scab with rear seat delete. I have a CX-5 as the "get around grocery" hauling vehicle. Both have Knodel organizers. 3 in the back of the CX-5, and 2 in the back of the Scab. Both allow easy access, privacy if needed, and each 1/3 section...

    My high school friends had one of these (1956 Chevy Sedan Delivery) that was run in the NHRA tracks before we bought it. Still had the big letters in the paint of the panels. Put a Chevy 409 V8 in it and ran it at a dragstrip in Hialeah, Fl. It had welded in engine mounts (no rubber...

    I watched my neighbors hand/fingers swell up like sausages when he was removing/replacing rotting wood from his roof eves, and one was under the edge of the shingles. He was reaching up pulling out the soft decaying wood when it stung him! He was in serious pain. His hand swelled to 2x its...
  16. Report your MPG

    That fits too... My trips were 75% 55-60, and 25% 70-72. I get better MPG without cruise too. The truck slows down instead of coasting when on cruise when going up /down hills. It looses momentum / brakes going down hill to stay at the speed limit then hits the gas going up the next...

    When 1/100 of a second counts!
  18. Report your MPG

    ~1K difference in elevation. Wonder how much it changed going each way. No matter, it balanced out nicely. I noticed difference with a 500' change from central NC to the SC coast. The best I got was 28.4, but I averaged 27.5 over 15 trips, each ~550 miles round trip. Denser air and flatter...

    Yeah I read about it after my post. Sad. It Is very rare for a 41 year to develop sepsis from pneumonia. Sounds like a chronic condition.
