Bloody cold
The exploder is misfiring. It may be bad gas. It may be a fouled spark plug. All I know is, it has decided it doesn’t like it’s spot in the nice warm heated garage, so it will sit outside until it decides to behave, or it is warm enough to work on it. In the meantime, I will be driving the Van, which will probably appreciate being parked indoors. hell, IT started immediately, after being ignored ALL WINTER.
I will call it Van Til. Locals will get the reference. And I will drive the Van Til the truck is ready to go again.
In reality, there needs to be some work done to the truck, and I had been planning it a while- but this just accelerates it. I want to fix exhaust manifolds etc, and this will allow me to think hard about making all that happen properly. I fully intend to get another 200,000 out of the truck.
Yep, the Exploder’s too new to be busted down in this weather. Good luck figuring it out.
It’s always good to have a spare vehicle. We used to have a white Chevy Astro that we called “Vanna White”.
LOL! I like that, Slash. We also had a blue van we called Van morrison
Cool!
A buddy of mine rebuilt the engine in his Trailduster and painted the block a bluish-red color because he “always wanted a Purple Engine of Destruction!”
Whooooa-oh Dom-I-No…
337k on the old F150 and I don’t have a spare vehicle. I am just a little nervous about that situation but I hope to find a suitable spare soon.
Shooter, I gotta tell you, you couldn’t find a better time to find a used truck, they’re just about giving them away. But if you don’t even have that cash to spare, it doesn’t matter, right?
Do you add Heet to the gas tank? I began doing that when my 13 year old Honda wouldn’t start one cold morning earlier this month. It starts up now as if it was summertime.
yeah all ogfleet vehicles get regular heet treatment.
