dirtydiesel

in the last 8 years of owning two expolders i have only had auto matic tras and water pump issues. minus what happened to my last explorer. when it drop 3 valves. and all the coolant went down the exhuast. other than that i havent really had any complaints. it gets decent milage for a 6 cyl.

but at the same time drift

yeah i had thought about the weight issue. i really want to fit a vg30. in my 521. but i dont really have the money or time. i want my truck for the winter. and i want to get close to the same milage as my ninja....

atleast somebody has something nice to say

cant even express how much i luaghed at this

im just curious on what people think about this.... i have had 2 explorers with these little engines. and they are pretty realiable if you take care of them. but its a ford... ya know?

if i had told my boss that story he would have taken a 15 inch cresent wrench smacked me up side the head with it and say " now... does that not take your mind off that pain? quit being such a pussy and pick up that pl-4"

I live in Everett. What engine were you running

Yeah i have been up in that area a few times. I work in the fishing industry i must have past it delivering parts or to work on a boat. That's an awesome truck btw. Mines still in peices.

Oh yeah! I actually saw this. I showed up and we talked for a bit. I lost your number and the add on craigslist was gone. Shit. But i got a 521now. Yeah people get on this. Great shape just needs some loving on the front end.

i want a pair. What's the total price shipped to 98201

indeed.... Indeed.

where is the boner smiley?

i know this building.... i swear i do... as if i have pulled into it once before know it.... where was this taken?

i miss the drive in .... they tore it down and put up a swedish hospital.... lame....

i have been lucky.... but i did have a hydrualic hose burst onto myy face. i was freaking the fuck out cuz i had thought i was going to die. but it didnt break the skin. so i was fine. i have the poisen controll number as an emergency contact. cuz im now friends with the local kids that work there. mainly cuz i have ingested antifreeze. gas. diesel. oil. i have 6 scars from rusty edges. and this one time i took a shot of liquor. and i guess it had bleach or something in it.

fail

way to be!!! i havent really been in such a situation. but the last encounter i was in similar. was when i was a bit intoxicated. i stayed calm and was honest and the very polite officer led me go free. with a warning to be more careful and to wait longer before driving impaired. conversation went like this. (not exact but close enough) was driveing my 76 chevy nova. roughly the speed limit. 30-35 minding my own business. wasnt swerving or drawing attention. officer is oncoming traffic. ( and we were the only two vehicles on the road that night i swear) i saw his tail lights in my rear mirror and then his head lights shortly after his red and blues. signaled. pulled over into a "safe" traffic location. ( not blocking the road or side walk) killed the built v8 with 2 1/2 inch exhuast. turned of the head lights. undid the four points. gathers my reg. and lic. and waited anxiously. lit another cig. officer walks to the window. " evnin officer" EVENING ( handed him my papers) SON YOU HAVE A VERY NICE VEHICLE FOR YOUR AGE ARE YOU AWARE THAT YOUR LICENSE PLATE LAMP IS OUT? looking at him stupidly and thought about it " i dont have one" looks at me stupidly " as in it doesnt exist" AH... ILL SHALL RETURN ( or something like that ) i quickly asked him politely to turn off the spot light. (since the are fucking blinding.) he did. he returns just after i finsh my cigarette. he had proceeded to ask me about my night WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE? what? oh i was at a zombie party... this is make up. A ZOMBIE PARTY? DONT THINK I HAVE EVER HEARD OF THOSE.... you should go to one they are tons of fun... that is until there is drama. I SEE... SON HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING TONIGHT? ( looking guilty) yes... yes i have been drinking. ( his face was surprised by my answer) HOW MUCH HAVE YOU HAD? ummm.... roughly 6 beers. AND HOW LONG AGO WAS YOUR LAST? ummm... what time is it? 2AM. about two hours ago? (bullshit and he knew it) I SEE... THANK YOU FOR BEING HONEST WITH ME well sir i dont see much point in lying to you. THIS IS TRUE... DO YOU HAVE INSURANCE ON THIS VEHICLE? no sir, it cost too much. and i can barley afford the fuel to drive it. WOW... ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU FOR BEEING HONEST. DO YOU OWN ANY OTHER VEHICLES? yes sir i do. DO YOU HAVE INSURANCE ON SAID VEHICLES? yes sir. WELL THATS GOOD. ARE YOU SURE THAT YOUR LAMP DOESNT EXIST? i am actually quite positive i would love to show you. NO, THAT IS NOT NECCESSARY. sir i insist. i have been honest with you this whole time let me show you. ( preety much setting myself up for a feild sobriety test. ) he agrees and i grab my keys and another smoke. lost my footing "slighty" when stepping out. wasnt a big deal. popped open my trunk and showed him the hole where the lamp should be and proceeded to explain that there wasnt any wiring for it or a holder. shocked again about how honest i was with him. he politely told me to watch my drinking. to cut back on smoking and to enjoy the rest of my weekend. handed me my papers and left.

yes you can do that i do it all the time on diesel engines for boats. just get your self a (brass or stainless) nipple/ run tee/ pipe thread sealer(or tape) i find it best to thread the close nipple into the run tee before threding into the block. be sure to have the thread sealant on before you thread it in. run the threads in snugg. and position the tee where you can easily thread in the two senders. and ta dah.
