H.F.A.W.H.A. meeting

Ford took advantage of everyone there for a bit in the ‘90s- early 2000’s...at least Dodge gave the Ford guts a quick fix with a proper engine swap.

Well.... Cummins .... gave Ford a helping hand for a decade, Dodge gave Cummins a way to get the engine to a Ford guys house.

Ford insured that I stayed busy from the late 80's to 2015!

I figured you’d have a good comeback for that.

Which kept you more busy, the s***ty engine or the s***ty way they crammed it in there so you couldn’t work on it?

Well in the late 80's it was glow plugs,injection pumps and wiring. Then they had a recall on all 460 powered ambulances for catching on fire. I went to a school to do those and did all the ones in Mississippi. Those took almost a year. Then comes along the 7.3 diesel, good lord at all those problems, early on it was injector orings,then it was injectors, IPR's leaking and filling with oil, ICP's causing engines to die, fuel heating elements shorting out and blowing the main fuse causing engines not to run. The way they crammed a 7.3 in an Econoline is a totally different scenario. Now they are trying to sell a pushrod V8 gas burner that they had for years (460) but discontinued because overhead cams and turbo's were supposedly the way to go. Now you have to pay 2,000.00 extra for a fuel injected pushrod gas burner (7.3)which they discontinued in 96 or 97. IMO they should just have modified the (7.5) along the way. The 6.0 and 6.4 diesels were another clusterf*** all together.
Fuel leaks were horrendous after the extra low sulfur was mandated by the government. Fuel filter o rings,fuel pump diaphragms were the worst. Also the fuel return line orings leaking and injector pump governors sticking causing dieing on 6.9 and 7.3 non powerstrokes. The low sulfur diesel is dry compared to the earlier version causing rubber to shrink and lubricated parts to stick. That is why diesel additives were popular.

I might try it at 104. Don't know. It's actually "only" 110 today, but there were like 4 days over 110, culminating in a 118 in Phoenix.

Being that it's monsoon season, there is a 10% chance of rain, so there is a touch of humidity on top of that.

its HOT here in the valley!!!

Stuck in booth won’t allow you to switch out of park or even release the e-brake. Multiple codes popping up. Hate technology and hate European cars. Could you imagine going into the woods with your brand new $100k Range Rover With 39miles that you just lost 30k driving it off the lot and now you’re stranded looking for cell service to call a wrecker? Bhahahaha.

Can you just switch the key to the on position and bypass those safety features?

 

[Smitty335]

Probably dosen't have a key?

 

[CumminsPusher]

Nope. Doesn’t recognize the gearbox, cant do anything. Dial don’t let you shift. Tried reset and battery disconnect. Stuck like chuck especially being AWD, can’t even jack it up to get out. It’s costing us money. POS.

What's it's name and is it leash broke?

 

[Adam490]

What's it's name and is it leash broke?

I haven't figured out a name yet. We asked the kid and she said it should be named "turtle the turtle"...

I'm hoping to put a saddle on it and ride it around the yard when it's older

I'm surprised it made it into the booth. Those things are one of the biggest pieces of s***, but a good example of how a good advertising dept can convince those with more money than sense to buy a turd.
