… like someone sort of alluded to a little bit ago… Yes you are at home …you wouldn’t be the first to paint your vehicle with house paintOh what the hell.... I told landlord guy hey if you got more of that paint left over I may do entire truck with it as a fun project.... in his broken English he said something like "You know thats water based indoor decorative paint right?" Im thinking it'll wash right off in the next rain
… how close am I ???…
Naw you're way off.... her vagina is out of service [or so she says ha].... I felt a bit of a leverage play going on so I iced her this week. Not painting truck and only thing I've really been up to is an increase in physical activity.... its kinda my new obsession these last couple months. I gained maybe 60 lbs around those covid years and stopped hitting gym and basically went to shit slowly after always being a gym rat for maybe 40 straight years.... aging and just burnout happened. So I decided it was time to get moving again and started walking my beach and after a month one day I just said fuck it I'm gonna try a gentle jog and see what breaks off or dislocates doing a kinda body assessment as an old jock can do. I did these walk/ run intervals of 50 yds and liked it. The weight started flying off me and all the sudden I was down from 285 to 240. The sagging skin was awful cause all that weightlifting fake muscle turned to shit. So lately I'm in stage II of my comeback... I added light weights from a buddy across my street and lots of stretching/ yoga work. I weigh each Monday and this week friggin 225. I might have aids but feels great and I'm gonna keep at it and see if all that chatter about muscle memory was true. I'm basically an arrogant sumbitch and I want my bod to match my temperment.... nobody takes a fat old guy seriously unless he looks sharp. Thats what I'm up to anyways.....… OK… It’s time to fess up… Don’t think you’re painting your truck… Nope…Mr Hubba… think you got a steady girlfriend
thanks for that input... looks like you and @rivermobster are thinking same. Kinda waiting on my guy @Shlbyntro for input as well.
I haven't seen Shlbyntro for a while, I was thinking about texting him.
You might've forgotten who you are dealing with ole sport.... I have zero tech knowledge ... matter of fact before I even open my hood on this issue I'll be going back to @rivermobster and @OLDRAAT to ask details on where to find the "harness connector at firewall" exactly. And then once they tell me, what exactly am I to do? Clean with WD40? The good news is I do know what a firewall is ha.

No, that's what BFH stands for, seriouslyAre you being helpful this morning ... or just cute
I thought you would understand the nuances of beating on something until it's fixed or it breaks. Sure, it's a highly technical skill, but simple to learn and quite satisfying to perform.
So many lil sayings nowadays I could never be a cool kid again
Actually thats something I can get my head around... and I do have a recommended local shop so we good and I appreciate the input. This is an easy to explain intermittent issue so if it worsens or becomes a regular thing I'll take it in and they can chase it down. I was surprised nobody went to the alternator but like I said, I know zero.
Take the tailgate off....it it runs better, he's probably just pissed off at you for painting him with latex house paint....as if being a Ford wasn't bad enough.
I like it.... creative and good sense of humor.... but it aint quite worthy of the post of the day.
… Had three chickos come over to my house last night… one of them was the Porsche Cayenne chick… when she gave me a hug goodbye… She turned me into a tripod….
Perhaps the existing coolant was blue however the builder came up blank about any blue fluids in engine. He said he can't think of any blue fluids he used but I'm still going with coolant.
Brilliant minds on this site I tell yaPull the radiator cap (when cold) and look and see what is in there!
Yeah I have to continually remind my friends and myself of that fact.... its been interesting to note just how we Americans are programmed to improve on things. I lasted 9 months before breaking down and rattle canning the hood.... all my US visitors get quiet when after they suggest I get it painted I let em know its not a good idea. It just goes against everyones thought processing. I never really recognized how deeply entrenched that was until acquiring this truck as an example.
I would fit right in. I like my ugly beaters better than my nice ones. Can relax and enjoy them more.
… My ‘99 Ford expedition is truly a beater… I used to dislike this car immensely… Bought it to cart my very elderly mother around in…And then it just sat… well, now it sits under a tree that drops these yellow berry kind of things which seem to stick …all over it…
Other than a $15 harbor freight heater that will blow hot air on your right leg as you drive…..,Hmmm???…
Thanks guys!
Thanks. I just spent time under hood while watching a YouTube video on setting choke on this engine. I first noticed there is no live [red] wire to power the electric choke ha.... there is only a black ground wire. I looked around to see if perhaps it got loose and fell but nada. So I took a picture and sent it to guy who built up engine. We'll see what he says but odd that for aa year choke worked fine and all the sudden not. After watching the video I chose to not unscrew choke housing and tighten screws as recommended... gonna wait to learn why no power to it first.
Hmmmm.... you went a little over my head here. I'll post up two vids off YouTube and you can comment on the choke setting one, thanks!
Agree.... I looked everywhere for that wire.... no way it ever worked without power I wouldn't think. I reckon with all that vibration it could've just shook loose but on both ends? Dang mystery... waiting to hear from builder dude.
