A few weeks back I drove my (broken) truck to the dealership to get a pinion nut and distance ring for the rear.axle. They didn't want my beast parked with the fancy cars in front, so I went around back. When I came back out one of the older guys was standing there.... He wanted to tell me about his truck of 35 years past, and how much he* liked it compared to what they work on today. 😄 edit *

Hi Jochen! Let's have a look at that! 🤔 If the image file is too big this arcane forum software can't handle it.💡 As a former Ducati nut (starting with a '66 250 race bike right through to a 916 Corse) I love me some KTM! That looks like a wicked barrel of fun! 😃 I wish my spine and knee still worked.

I follow a YouTube channel- alistairc123 -that has huge equipment, like a horizontal boring mill the size of a large house! ... from the Belfast yard that built these ships. If you like shipyards and heavy repair (like mining equipment) or tractor pulling, or collecting old steam powered tractors n' stuff, check it out Edit:

I painted the kitchen cabinets in my old house this color. 😁 Gary knows I have an artistic eye. I pegged a typeface for his father's aircleaner (except for the "r"). 😉 https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1291332-dads-air-cleaner-6.html#post15045474

I'm glad to hear they're working with you to resolve your problem. That says a lot..

Gary has exposed a number of failures in the factory documentation. At least on bullnose trucks, It wouldn't surprise me that they made mistakes on the previous generation as well

Are they calling for a blue grommet module in 1979? I mean, they definitely had them....

The evtm is wrong, obviously

Horses for courses.... I've mucked MANY a stall in my day

We're all friends here! You need to see me go to bat for CJ over his little rubber bumpers! 🤣🤣🤣

Back in the day, if the contractor didn't get paid, we would go to the store and get the biggest steak we could find and nail it to a stud before the Sheetrock. It would take a week or more, and by that time the walls were painted and everything. Sometimes it would take them weeks, If it was summer they could find it pretty fast because the flies would swarm on the wall. 🤮

You needed to get an ozone machine and close the doors on the truck

If you really want to torture somebody stuff a tuna fish sandwich way up into the springs under their seat, or put a raw shrimp into each of their hubcaps! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

.... I have the same hoodie as your son! 😄

Glutton for punishment, eh? Welcome! Glad you've signed up!

Sorry that "pink smoke" takes me right back to '79!

I -kinda sorta- know the '95ish Bronco seats, but haven't pulled apart one of these. Too bad you hadn't figured it out before you got them reupholstered.

You don't need to climb in the back, just get to the charger by the inverter, right?

Now convert to BTU. You worked on the railroad. Think of how much coal had to be bunkered to get that heat (even figuring 100% efficiency, which is FAR from reality)

Steam is incredibly powerful. Superheated saturated steam will slice you in half like a laser beam. There was an incident at the VA hospital in West Haven, where my brother is a police captain...🙄 Surprisingly, water has a greater expansion ratio than nitroglycerin. Why do you think we still use steam catapults on nuclear aircraft carriers (Other than EMALS, experimental) Consolidated....

The Titanic or Texas? Titanic was 75 rpm and 16,000hp Her sister ships were turbine powered (There's all kind of esoteric and arcane minutae rattling around in my head. )
