I hope you got it for less than $8 a quart. I know you didn't want to buy a dozen, but it is cheap that way and delivered for free.today i drove the 4g 4 cities away to get a quart of transmission fluid. im sure yall know the one, mercon ULV.
no its was twice that per quart. That looks like lv from models a few years ago. all the 1080 take ULV . i asked the counter guy if the price was correct like WAIT - ? if it needs more than a quart i will take it to one of the worst places on earth- a ford dealer service center... and tell them my transmission is tostada fix it under warranty lol. two years after i might get the truck back with it some what running...I hope you got it for less than $8 a quart. I know you didn't want to buy a dozen, but it is cheap that way and delivered for free.
Thanks, I just went and tried lifting the front of mine by myself and it's not difficult at all. I'm almost 60 and out of shape, so I'd guess mine weighs 600 pounds maximum. Mine isn't a slide in, it's just a tall camper shell.
It's $5.29 a quart at Rock Auto.today i drove the 4g 4 cities away to get a quart of transmission fluid. im sure yall know the one, mercon ULV. discovered that the ULV stands for Unavailable from Local Vendors... paid a kidney for it. soon to crawl my flab under the 5g to try to locate the super convenient trans dipstick and sustain a few burns, then try to check the level since its now shifting like a fat girl in corduroy pants. thanks for making it easy on customers ford lol
You're totally in the clear. I seriously doubt anything you'd reasonably want to haul is going to be close to max and there's no way you'll hurt the frame with that thing.
It was a bit like the damper wars back then - you were either on the side of Texas Instruments or Hewlett-Packard. I was a TI person and because of the Reverse Polish Notation, HP was nicknamed Hewlett-Backwards.
Better check on it David...just came across my TI programmable the other day, and found the button batteries still in it, oops, and all corroded. Hope it cleans up and works, in case my grandkids want to learn how to use it...hahahaha...I'm a real fan of slide rules, though I doubt I could work one now. When I was in college, pocket calculators were still very new (1970s) and were not allowed in math or physics classes. However, slide rules were allowed. I was one of a very small number of students who bothered to learn it. I had a few different sizes since the larger ones carried more precision.
Even when calculators were allowed, it was still faster, for me, to use a slide rule.
Then I went to the HP-41C for grad school, which I still have in a box somewhere. It was expensive ($295 in 1979 = over $1K today!) and I had the expansion ports and printer just like in this pic. Notice that this calculator does not have a "equals" function, no = key!
I just looked at the programming language for it and I must have been smart back then! There's no frigging way I could ever figure that out now!
You could always get it vinyl wrapped to match your truck!Thanks, I just went and tried lifting the front of mine by myself and it's not difficult at all. I'm almost 60 and out of shape, so I'd guess mine weighs 600 pounds maximum. Mine isn't a slide in, it's just a tall camper shell.
I'll take my truck to a scale when I get it mounted just to confirm my estimated weight. But I'm pretty confident now that mine isn't going to be too much for my truck at all. I know it's kinda ugly, but I'll give it a good washing and figured it's only for camping 3 or 4 times a year.
This is in Macon County. But we ride all over middle TN. East has all the main mountain trails. But we still have a few spots here in the middle to get out and have fun.
Nice. Yeah I’m out near Maryville and have been looking to get out and hit some trails at some point. I’ve done a few rides but pretty minor stuff.
Yup, you can't give pianos away, nobody wants them anymore.DUMP RUN!
What a glorious way to start Valentine's Day and show your spouse how much you love her!
A 100-year old baby grand piano taken apart (3 hours Sunday with about 50 giant lag screws). You'd think an ivory-keyed, mahogany-cased Madison piano, once owned by my mother-in-law (who sang at the Met and recorded a dozen 78-rpm albums) would be worth something. But nope. It was left in unconditioned spaces for years and was rarely tuned in the last 30 years, so it's kaput.
You can find 100-year old Madison's, in tune and perfect condition, for $3,000 online.
So off to the dump the 500+ pounds went, including the 160-pound cast-iron string frame. That was a beast! Loaded that bit with my daughter but unloaded on my own. Rolled it right off the tailgate into the metal thrash container.
Still, sad to see it go and sad that no one even wanted free it for parts (ivory keys are tricky and must be kept with the original piano until a piano restorer can salvage them). Even so, you're supposed to get a letter from a Federal Agency stating that your piano is kept intact.
Happy Valentine's Day!
