    Dodge 1/2 ton with diesel?

    In many areas, diesel is now about the same price as gasoline. I still don't know if the extra cost of the diesel is worth the prices. Of course we'll have to see how the new 2018 F-150 diesel will cost and the mileage ratings.

    I'm back....

    Nice truck!!! I agree about the "de-stickering". I have always thought the big FX4 or 4x4 stickers (and others like them) are a bof an overkill in stating the truck is a 4x4. Some of the older Fords (80's-90's) had 4x4 under the F-badge on the fenders or 4x4 under one of the headlights on the...

    Howdy!!

    Thanks Joe!! This thread does seem to be pretty quiet, compared to years past. I'm at home from work today (since Thursday) due to some major dental work. My dental insurance ran out Friday, I went on Medicare Saturday. Had 2 teeth pulled, a couple of crowns and a filling. All on the top...

    Howdy!!

    Hope everyone is well. Haven't been online in awhile. We've had an extremely warm winter and hope it's not an above average summer.

    2017 Ford F250

    e PSD's may have had a governor on them for years. Several years ago, when I had my 2002 F-250 7.3, I was rushing to the scene of my son's accident (he hit a pole with his new 2005 F-150 and ripped off the right suspension). There was a light rain with a good bit of traffic. I had the...

    Dodge 1/2 ton with diesel?

    I've seen them advertised with air suspension. I've heard they get really good mileage, but like other diesels, don't know if the extra cost of the engine is worth it. I don't seem to see as many new Power Strokes as I used to, probably because of the $8000+ price tag of the PSD. It is...

    comment Got Earthquakes ?

    My wife has an app on her phone that notifies her of earthquakes, but they're always in some Asian country. She's been getting so many updates she's about to turn off the notifications and she's never seen any mention of any quakes in the US.

    its not a super duty....but

    To add to my earlier post about our 2004 Expedition, we had the dark red (now called Ruby Red), it was the XLT Sport and had the gray trim along the bottom. It was an 8 passenger and when I rode in the third row, I felt like I was in the back of a bus. As I stated earlier, we traded it way too...

    its not a super duty....but

    That's a nice ride!!!! We had a 2004 Expedition and traded it for a Five Hundred a year later when gas prices started toward $3.00/gallon. Wife got spooked that we couldn't afford the fuel and I gave in to trading it. Wasn't too long ago that she said she wished we had never traded it.

    1947 Ford 2N For Sale (also posted in Everything Non Truck For Sale)

    I have made the decision to sell the 2N. I hate to do it because it's a great little tractor but it needs to go to someone who will use it on a regular basis. I am asking $2500 for the tractor and the bush hog. I live in the Princeton (Collin County) Texas area, northeast of Dallas. Any offers...

    Ford 2N/8N 12 Volt Starter Solenoid

    Dave, that's tough. My mother in law asked me several times yesterday if I would take her home. That's a daily question with her. Once she said she wanted to go home to her mother (who passed away 35 years ago). Finally my wife had to tell her we weren't going anywhere. We got her out of...

    Ford 2N/8N 12 Volt Starter Solenoid

    Thanks JL. I haven't a chance to do anything. My mother-in-law who lives with us has been in the hospital and now a rehab center since Wednesday of last week. Went to her regular doctor's appointment, he thought she needed to go to hospital. Got there and xrays showed a blood clot in one...

    Ford 2N/8N 12 Volt Starter Solenoid

    I'm going to take it to a repair shop in a few days. He's a local guy who's worked on it in the past. He has a shop by his house and is pretty cheap. Last time he worked on it, you barely had to hit the starter to get it going. Once it's fixed, probably gonna sell it because we don't use it...

    Ford 2N/8N 12 Volt Starter Solenoid

    Doug, thanks for the info. Didn't get a chance to open it up last weekend, spent Saturday looking at RV's and rested Sunday (trying to get acclimated to Daylight Savings Time). As I mentioned earlier, I believe it does have a button on the other side that's hidden inside the body. I can get...

    Best Travel Trailer?

    My wife and I are considering purchasing a small travel trailer soon. We need something that the 2008 F-150 will handle. Truck has a 4.6 V8 and factory towing capacity is 6400 lbs. We have been visiting several websites of companies in the Dallas area. Have found a Forest River Wildwood Lite...

    Ford 2N/8N 12 Volt Starter Solenoid

    Doug, the gearshift has to be in neutral. The starter button is in front of the gearshift. I was trying to start it every two weeks or so to keep everything working okay, but we had a spell of bad weather awhile back and I neglected it. Now it won't even jump off, even after I put a new...

    Ford 2N/8N 12 Volt Starter Solenoid

    Guys, I believe it is the one like on the DB Electric site. The connectors on the DB part are exactly like the one on the tractor. I do believe there is a starter button on the other end. The main starter button is on the drivetrain in front of the transmission lever. I believe it connects...

    Ford 2N/8N 12 Volt Starter Solenoid

    Thanks Doug. I checked our local NAPA store but the guys didn't find anything either. We also have a local parts store who keeps lots of tractor parts. They had one but it didn't match. I showed them the picture that I posted above but nothing matched. Trying to get it running without...

    Ford 2N/8N 12 Volt Starter Solenoid

    I am looking for a 12 volt starter solenoid for my 1947 Ford 2N Tractor. I have tried many of the parts stores in McKinney, TX (OReilly, AutoZone, Tractor Supply, and others) and cannot find one exactly like the one on the tractor. It is round (of course) and the mounting brackets are directly...
