    Ford 6.2 v-8 motor

    in Watering Hole

    Posted

    A friend of mine just got back from a trip to WY. in an f-250 6.2 . They were pulling an enclosed trailer. He told me the mileage was really bad, like 5.8 mpg. Had plenty of power but could not pass a gas station.:rotf:

    I will need another truck soon but it will not be gas.

    I had a 2000 xlt that I bought from the company that I work for in 2001, and ran it till this spring.It was a good ride till it got to 200k miles, then was getting too costly to maintain so I sent it to the junkyard.:080402gudl_prv: :rotf:

    Hi all and thanks for the compliments on the carb covers. Jeff I will make that change on the next run I make. As for the "Twinkie covers" I have been thinking about them but do not have a set to work off of to get them started. I will contact a friend in Tn. to see if he can send me the info on them.

    Lots of thanks and lots of upgrades

    You all are so funny! No, no blame. I was just excited to have such great advice to do it right the first time. Really. And the advice about the tires.... I'm so glad you are here to speak this warning. Yes, I will also replace the tires before this season. I plan to have two spare sets one on and one just before the ride across the country. Then put the set I will have now back on when I return. Thank you for your real life advice. That's why I'm on this forum for folks just like you!!!

     

    Just today I added some more visibility. I ordered some Muth LED turn signal mirrors with the brake light module. This should be my last upgrade for a while as I am now officially out of money for this project. It will take me a while to build up to the next phase for this wonderful machine.

     

    God bless you all and keep you safe this season.

    From pass experience I would think twice about putting a used tire back on the bike. I did it but I will not do it again. It did not give me any trouble ,But it wore out very quickly. It only had 1000 miles on it when I put it on and was worn to the cords within 3,000 miles.

    I did that weaving trick once, got a pass to the state troopers ball. They tell me that is reckless driving here in WV. So I put a headlight modulator in, took care of that situation in a hurry.:cool10:

    Head set cable

    A Friend of mine told me that someone here makes up a cable to use with the headset for blue tooth. I have a Nuvi 760 and would like to use the blue tooth without having two separate cables and mikes to deal with. Can someone help with this?

    Thanks Chuck
