    PowerStroke Mustang???

    I thought this was an interesting article about a possible PowerStroke Mustang: https://carbuzz.com/news/ford-announces-mustang-power-stroke-option-for-2019 Of course this was posted on April 1 and is an April Fools joke. I didn't read the entire article and posted it on my Facebook page then...

    F-150 PSD

    Looks like the F-150 PSD is finally becoming a reality. I'm sure it's going to be more expensive and looks like it will be a good alternative to the EcoBoost 3.5 engine. Just wish the diesel prices were a bit less.

    Supposed fuel shortage

    Anyone in your area having problems getting fuel? Here in the DFW area, people are going nuts about a "shortage" of fuel, and gas lines are everywhere. I believe it's worse than the 70's and 80's when gas went to $1 a gallon (boy wouldn't we love to see that again). My oldest son texted me...

    2018 F-150 Diesel

    Anyone considering going to the new F-150 PSD when it hits the showrooms? Hopefully the mileage will be rated around 30 highway. That would put it a mile or two better than the Ram 1500 diesel. I'm sure the engine will be a very expensive option, considering what diesels add to the price...

    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...

    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

    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...

    2017 Super Duty Trucks

    Has anyone seen the 2017's yet? I wanted to go to the State Fair of Texas to see them but wasn't able to. It's interesting that they're sharing the F-150 cab. That hasn't happened since the 1997 model year. Of course the F-150 cabs now have more room than the Super Duty. I still wish they'd...

    2017 Super Duty Trucks

    Interesting article about the 2017 Super Duty trucks. It also mentions the possibility of the 3.5 L EcoBoost engine. Seems like a good idea but I would hope Ford would develop a bigger EcoBoost engine for the Super Duty...

    Potholes

    All of the snow/sleet/rain in the Dallas area lately have created lots of new potholes. Looks like the area tire dealers are going to be busy with repairing and/or selling wheels/tires to replace the damages. Some streets almost seem like driving on an obstacle course.

    Ready For The Super Bowl?

    I'm not but do wish the Seahawks can put a can of "whupass" on the Patriots. I don't like Brady or Belichick. However, I also think that the winning touchdown pass in Seattle should have been reviewed by the officials. It was very similar to the Dez Bryant catch a week ago in Green Bay. I...

    F-150 Transmission Problems

    Having my F-150's tranny rebuilt this week. Last Thursday I first noticed a problem. Didn't want to move for a few seconds at a stop light. Then the O/D Off light started flashing and it was searching for gears. Once was driving 60 mph @ 3500 rpm. Took it to Ford dealer Monday, they wanted...

    Malaysian Jet Located?

    Reports are being broadcast that objects that may possibly be from the missing Malaysian jet have been spotted off the northwest coast of Australia. The discovery is from satellite imagery but this seems to be the best news so far.

    New F-650/750

    Ford is bring production of the next F-650/750 from Mexico to the USA!!! Evidently they're ending the partnership with Navistar. The new truck looks good but the mirrors remind me of the last version of Class 6-7 Chevrolets...

    Junior Wins!!!!

    Was great to see the 88 win today at Daytona. I was hoping Danica would have a good run but just wasn't her day. Just glad the 48 didn't win. Can't stand him.

    2005 F-350 Dually?

    I'm "getting the itch" to try to find a good used diesel pickup and trade my 2008 F-150. At my local Ford dealer, Bob Tomes Ford in McKinney, TX, I found a 2005 F-350 6.0 diesel dually with 90,000 miles on it. I'm gonna look at it this weekend. Their website has it listed for $21,980. My...

    Oklahoma Tornadoes

    Hope any SDD folks in Oklahoma are okay and not near any of the storms in OK. I've heard that there are at least 37 dead with the count probably rising. Prayers and condolences to those families.

    EcoBoost

    Does anyone have an experience with the 3.5 EcoBoost V-6? My youngest son traded his 2010 F-150 XLT SuperCab on a 2012 F-150 XLT SuperCrew with Chrome Package. This is his first used vehicle, his first truck was a 99 F-150. It's got 2500 miles, the previous owner traded it into a local Dodge...

    Finally Sold My RV

    Yes, I FINALLY sold my 99 Dutchmen 5er. I guess God was looking out for me and the person who now owns it. A local minister stopped by a couple of weeks ago and asked if it was for sale. It was full of junk (used it for an additional storage shed) but I let him look in it. He said one of his...

    Danica Patrick Wins Daytona 500 Pole

    How about that? She's the first rookie to win the Daytona 500 pole since Jimmie Johnson in 2002, and we see where he has gone since then. Hopefully she will win several races this year, qualify for The Chase, and win the championship. I like the fact that she doesn't take any crap from the...

    Wife's Wreck

    On Monday January 28th, my wife was headed to work and was about 1/2 mile from home. For some strange reason, she drifted off to the right side of the highway, hit a mailbox, overcorrected, and rolled our 2011 Crown Victoria twice, totalling it. Thank God, she only has a broken right wrist...
