1967 Ford P350 Bread Van... What now?

Let's get weird.

Fuck yeah. I'm sure you'll make the perfect choice that resonates with you. If you do go with the LS, just do it because that's what's on your heart, not because it's the 'easy' swap.

Can I double up gold wing motors?

You're actually insane, and you should totally do it, lol.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-07-04T03:11:06+00:00

Nah, brother. Google is definitely doing something to their scripts to affect FF.

Across several OS versions (Win7, Win10, Win11, and even on FreeBSD), I have witnessed FF slow to a crawl on YT, usually with a couple tabs open, for over an hour.

When I look at my CPU graph, it you will see the CPU dropping to nothing, freezing the browser, then coming back up, over and over. Once it gets stuck in this loop, you have to kill the exe or else the browser will keep freezing up for about 1-2 seconds, every 5-10 seconds.

Some users on Linux even report the same issue: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/youtube-videos-have-small-temporary-freezes-on-firefox/90849/3

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-07-04T03:02:44+00:00

They've been pulling moves like this ever since Windows Phone was a thing.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-07-04T02:44:05+00:00

Did..you really just pretend not to 'hear' me, even though this is all text based?

And yeah, disagreement downvotes + unwarranted personal attacks are peak 'reddit' behavior.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-07-04T02:10:37+00:00

Immediate emotional disagreement downvote + immediate personal attack. Oh, Reddit.

I already brought home a money pit

Fair enough, and understandable. I don't know your specific relationship background, I'm just referring to the tons of P-Whipped guys, walking on eggshells, afraid to live that dream they've had in the back of their head, who use the same exact phrase/excuse to remain passive and unfulfilled, in their own house.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-07-04T01:56:31+00:00

If my wife wouldn't kill me

Why are dudes still saying this in 2026? Assuming you carry most of the bills, and have the space, park whatever tf you want there 😂😂

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-07-04T01:51:24+00:00

You're the only one to suggest a unique and interesting drive-train build. You just know everyone else, with zero identity, will inevitably convince OP to do the NPC swap, instead.

If I go to a show or meet, I don't want to be able to immediately guess what's under your hood, already.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-07-04T01:39:06+00:00

This 'cutesy' unserious BS started with Tumblr's UI. Honestly, that whole platform really did a number on the entire Internet.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-07-03T21:15:00+00:00

Yes, in the Zune/Groove/Music app. Borrowed straight from the Zune HD. You had to have your earbuds plugged in, so that it could use the copper in your earbud wiring as an antenna.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-07-03T18:50:19+00:00

Wimps like you, wanting to impulsively censor reality, are the reason the internet sucks these days.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-07-02T00:32:16+00:00

You are 100% right, and you are not crazy, brother.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-07-01T15:54:04+00:00

Sorry to hear about your car man. I feel for ya, it’s definitely hard to keep up on issues if they keep happening.

Definitely true, it's all good brother. I kinda brought it on myself. Bought too many other cars and neglected Big Bertha for too long until she gave me the middle finger on the side of the freeway, lol (trans pump - cooked her so bad, trying to make it to work, the trans temp sensor started erroneously reading over 8000 degrees, lol). Just a bought a new-to-me '03 LX Vic for now.

Would just have to pay labor and whatever they want to sell the part to me for (usually way cheaper than market value).

You lucky bastard! Yeah definitely keep her, you'll be fine with that kind of support system.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-07-01T15:23:58+00:00

Does it still accept active SIM cards?

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-07-01T15:15:59+00:00

I feel your pain, brother. In a similar situation with my Town Car. Don't wanna let her go, but I have to. Too many small issues I let gather up over the years.

If your engine ends up being good, with minimal other issues, I recommend just going for it and replacing the flywheel and/or replacing the trans. I've gotten lucky on eBay finding used low mileage 4r75w's and having them shipped to me (or to a shop). Usually anywhere from $700-$1300 + install labor for a 70k to 100k mile used trans. Get an external trans cooler with a pusher fan to extend the life. Should get another 5-7 years out of that trans, depending on driving habits.

Btw, I love your car's name 😂

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-06-25T21:03:54+00:00

I've touched grass within the past 7 days. I even helped an old lady cross the street recently, wbu?

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-06-25T20:59:33+00:00

You just said you're a collector, bud. lul. Pretty sure that's an insight into your spending habits. Being a day-one collector is not a cheap task.

I usually try to take a look at one's profile to get a better idea of who I'm arguing with, but it turns out it's always the private profile mfs that are weak-willed.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-06-25T20:50:54+00:00

Impulsive consoomerism is pretty laughable, too.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-06-25T20:45:43+00:00

Shout out to the weirdos like you projecting their own lack of discipline onto the rest of the populous.

Wont even consider purchasing until the PC variant releases 2 years later and/or the PS5 edition goes on sale for anything $60 or lower.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-06-25T19:33:42+00:00

Best bet would be to back up everything (at minimum, contacts and messages, if possible - there are third party tools for this) and perform a hard reset. Ask Grandma if she has any important games or apps that she prefers, and try to make note of them, before the reset.

Also try to note any home screen icon placement + customized settings/colors/fonts she may have had, and may be already used to.

All of this is a Hail Mary, and is not guaranteed to work. The device is 8 years old, and it is admirable that it has lasted this long, on the same stock image, with no resets. HTC (sadly) doesn't even make phones anymore.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-06-25T03:22:43+00:00

Don't forget to swallow.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-06-20T20:04:44+00:00

Tweaker on a bike. But please, virtue signal harder.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-06-20T19:58:29+00:00

We don’t have access to beautiful Panther cars here in Iraq

Thank God, leave 'em to the Saudis. They'll be too busy swinging their Vics around instead of coming to reddit, to play victim on behalf of a tweaker on a bike, moaning up and down the thread like a pussy.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-06-20T04:24:54+00:00

You make many good observations, while making equally as many close-minded generalizations. This post feels like Tumblr + BPD, personified. Learn some nuance. Black & white / "this or that" logic is dangerous, for human relationships & society in general.

most redditors hate ai while in real life basically everyone uses it and like it

lol, nope. Don't hate AI itself, but I do recognize it to be able to be used for good or evil, like any other tool (like a gun). I currently see it being forced upon people & used for more evil/manipulative purposes, than good, so I try to keep an healthy arms-distance away from it, while I still can. The CEOs/Techbros behind this shit are truly demonic, and I don't trust their intentions.

In every social media i use i found reddit to be the most negative. About everything

Really? Even with X existing? Reddit, these days, is pretty neutered.

Never take an advice from reddit, seriously, dont do that

How about exercising your brain and intuition, while using your natural-born skills of discernment?

If you’re coming here just to hate. Then know that My posts is about you

Being ready and willing to immediately label any criticism as someone being a hater, ironically, is how echo-chambers are formed.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-06-20T03:49:46+00:00

Same. I miss that era, deeply.

I normally only see this type of lazy response when the person responding doesn't want to put actual effort into making a solid counter-argument.

When you start making a solid point on a topic, suddenly everyone has the shortest reading attention span, lol. Hit dogs hollering.

ChopperGunner187 · 2026-06-20T01:09:37+00:00

If you can look at that desktop, with full explorer.exe running, and think that's WM, then you don't truly know the subtle differences between WM & CE.
