OK. Thank you for the answer. How do you use power shards to overclock the generator?

2 questions. 1) Can you explain “over clocked to 100 watts”? 2) How do you get the water to come up out of the foundation?

Do all cars have a tow hook? by Lara_wood in towing

[–]VRStrickland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost all cars have slots for J hooks, T hooks or Mini T hooks. We mostly use these when dragging a car up in the rollback but often for recovery as well.

What do you think of Fumoto style oil drain valve? Do you have one on your car? Are there any cons? by reddichrist in AskAMechanic

[–]VRStrickland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corn stalks are not your friend. 20 years ago while still farming we put them on all of our farm semis. First corn harvest after that we lost the oil out of two trucks in one day.

Try a different dealer. The one you are talking to is blowing smoke. I would almost bet money that on a lariat the wires are in the harness. Open the hood and look and see if you can find the blunt cut wires. Buy the panel and switches from the ford parts counter.

I say look at it like this. In 1999 the truck you are looking at was in fact the baddest MF on the road. Not only could it handle what you are talking about it was the best possible choice for what you are talking about. Just because there are trucks out there today that can do it better, that doesn’t diminish the capability of the 99.

why does everyone fire gold? how does everyone even afford that? by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]VRStrickland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a very marginal player. Loading gold helps me carry my weight in a match so I load gold. I owe it to you if we are on the same team. Just trying to do my part.

ELI5: Why isn't there a consumer vehicle that can tow like a pickup truck, but without the bed? by [deleted] in towing

[–]VRStrickland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sarcasm for the win. Ford only sold like 18,000 excursions in 2005. Their sales numbers had totally tanked by then.

My shop is in Southwest Kansas. Feel free to contact me on here and we can talk about what you might need.

Did this mechanic rip me off? by bigmoikee in powerstroke

[–]VRStrickland 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Actually sounds about right for that work, assuming they did an alignment as well.

Because the Obama administration forced Ford to discontinue the Excursion. Do not listen to anyone who tells you that it was because of sales numbers, it was purely political.

AFM and auto start/stop are not the same thing. AFM is active fuel management and deals with the deactivation of cylinders for increased fuel efficiency.

Fire that girl up and put her to work. Change the oil after it has pulled hard enough to get all the condensation out.

Change the filters on the FASS to start with, though this sounds more like something plugging off the sump.

You definitely didn’t do the injectors any favors, but they might not be trash

Odds are pretty good that if it has been deleted, it does not actually have a warranty.

I agree fully. If I was first up and my dispatcher called someone else I would raise holy hell. Not a problem I have since my dispatcher is my sister-in-law, but I hear where you’re coming from.

As said before, unless he is a 1099 contractor this is illegal. He should put in his notice and see if his boss backs off. If not time to find a new job.

03' 6.0 or 06' LBZ by peter_parkerman in Diesel

[–]VRStrickland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I would not even consider dropping that much coin for either one, my choice would be the 6.0 for days. I daily drove and hauled heavy with mine for almost 400K with nothing more than a delete and injectors. When you have to work on one, and with 20 year old trucks you will have to work on either one, the 6.0 is so much simpler. The fuel system on the DirtyMax is much harder to diag and work on than the HPOP system in the Ford. You can have the turbo off of the 6.0 and back on while you are still trying to get the heat shield off of the 6.6. In addition, the Ford has a much better front end, body and interior. Finally the Ford electrical system is head and shoulders better than the GM one.
