When I was in my early 30's and had to work on something, my wife would literally load the kids up and take them away for the day so they didn't have to watch my kaniptions. I once got so hot that I kicked the vehicle in servise so hard I split my big toe through my work shoe. I refused to go to the clinic for stitches and simply butterflied the toe back together. 2 days later I slunk in and had it x-rayed. The Doc said nothing was broke but I tore the crap out of it and that it was too late to stitch up but was healing well enough. He then asked me what I kicked? I told him my wrenching habit. He laughed and said that is why he drove Toyota's. So I took his Rx to the Toyota dealer and bought a Camry This was back in BG (Before Gummys). It was 1992. I worked a deal on a Highlander and traded my truck a while after that. I have a trailer if I need to haul anything. If I ever make it to a TOO gathering, ask me to show you my formerly matching big toes! Every time I see a new car or truck that trips my trigger, i simply remove my shoe and sock and reminesce...
I'm having a conniption fit just reading that fletch! My toe just twitched too!
Fuck yeah, this! I change my own cabin air filter and that's about it
A Ford!?! You probably voted for Biden AND Murphy!
Dave I know all about the problem with plugs on that year 5.4 Triton... Ford changed them about 30,000 miles ago at the tune of around $900.00... Wasn't attempting it back then... Supposedly they put one piece plugs in... I wouldn't mess with them except I have a miss... I've had the local shop replace one or two coil packs only to have another act up... So I bought 8 coil packs and figured while I'm there might as well change the plugs... If it don't turn with minimal pressure then it's staying... Might keep it till the spring then buy something else.... George what's wrong with DENTURE MAN????
Good deal. Just making sure you knew what you were about to dive in to.
Hey Phil, you might want to check with Toyota…they had a recall on Tacoma’s from ‘95 through early 2000’s. I had a ‘96 with over 365,000 miles. I didn’t want to sell as it was my “woods” truck but they offered me $8500. Couldn’t pass that up. They also said I could put junk tires on it and take anything of value from it as they were going to destroy it….they didn’t want it on the road with rust on the frame.
my mechanic was pulling them out of junk yards and dragging them in for the special recall windfall $$$
Always kept a matchbook in the glove box…. As well as a screwdriver…..
. I fixed it real good...
