Default Ford Crew cabs w/7.3 Diesel

Went to a RV show in Pleasanton Yesterday. I have to say it was very nice. Everything was under a big tent[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Even though the weather was nice[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] sunny and about 60 degrees[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Anyways, they had a ton of toy trailers there. After walking into almost all of them, I came away with wanting the new Weekend Warrior LE model. Here's a link to it weekend warrior LE model

Wife told me to start saving my pennies[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] It had the Billet edition interior, which was pretty sharp. tongue weight was manageable too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] We did discover that the dealers were basically asking $1000 per foot of trailer at the show. Some had knocked over $15,000 from there price[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Anyways, there's always room for negotiations[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] which I hate doing[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Anyways, I'll be drooling for awhile[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Skinner, I should start on the clutch tomorrow and hopefully have the z400 running for Saturday. My parts from Rocky Mountain arrived today[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] only took 3 days[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Anyways, I need to go and some 10w40 for the quad. I am even thinking about going with some synthetic stuff, just to check it out[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] Anyone know if there is anything I need to do, just in case I go with the synthetic and decide to go back to regular 10w40? (other then draining the oil and pouring the regular stuff in)

nope, you got it MD... just drain the oil and put in the synthetic. I see no prob with using it. you may find it causes idle to change, no big deal.

well, we had snow and cold for 2-3 weeks.then suddenly another pineapple express storm melts all of it, warms it up to about 45-50 degrees and pounds rain. combine it with melted snow and it's a mess with flooding. good thing we only ever got a few inches (go ahead, you guys can jump all over that comment, that's why i left it there for ya).

i drained the water and changed the oil on my compressor tonight. i saw sumthin that sed to check air-filter on top. i pull apart the top and the filter foam is almost disintigrated. i cut up some old atv filter foam, should work. wondering if the head bolts i had to remove are set right, or if the gasket i broke (NOT HEAD gasket) will leak. guess we'll find out. I'm sure the underpowered circuit/tripped breaker will be the first thing to kill the compressor anyways.

I took my truck in for service and my friend jumped all over me "getting serviced" on SMS messaging. I was sitting in the service manager's office LMAO. I think he thought I was insane. But hey, he rides. And someone was having serious issues with a 7.3 PSD..... well I'm off to lunch.

It's been a pretty different winter so far. The rain is great but does it have to all come at the same time? (ya, go ahead. say it)

I'm in Phoenix and it's almost 80 today[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

NO, Have all the parts[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] But, went to a fellow officer's funeral today[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] He was gunned down by a AWOL marine, who was in the Norteno's and ambushed 2 local officers. One is still in serious condition and the other a Sgt. was executed. Shot twice in the head after being shot pulling up to the scene. Both were shot with a SKS that he converted to a automatic. There was over 4,000 officers there[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] some from as far away as Boise, Idaho, Reno, Nv., Nevada State Police, and down south[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Great show of force[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] To bad it takes a tragedy to get us all together[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
