Tough choice. I don't know what would be worse, working on a diesel Econoline or not working.

 

[Keith Browning]

Eh, you get numb to working on diesel E-Series trucks after a while. But some guys like Mr. Chan might require a big hammer to the skull to become sufficiently numb! His hatred for them runs deep.

[Jeff Clyde]

I have gone weeks working on nothing but E vans. Don't mind them at all. Anything with a 6.0 litre in it means I am buying steak at the grocery store !!

[mchan68]

For the record, I've never said I REFUSED to work on them. For the right money, I will work on them just like any other vehicle. I just said I didn't LIKE working on them.

Who said that you REFUSE to work on them? I don't see that anywhere.

[Matt Saunoras]

I'll take anything I can get. I hate working on cars, anything diesel keeps my mind from going not good.

Mike is just more vocal of his hatred for these outcasts of the diesel world.

[Keith Browning]

I know.

Leon, all I can say is that engine had to be one FoMoCo's BIGGEST clusterfucks ever.

four! four? rear diffs. all this week.

 

- '10 F150 (polar bear plates) 9.75 posi. came in with the prop shaft in the bed, half of the rear pinion still on the u-joint flange. pumpkin cracked open, box of marbles inside. parts on order and somehow got prior approval

 

- 05 F250 full floating with hooped pinion bearing. done and kicked out today

 

- '10 F150 (polar bear plates) 9.75 posi. rear pinion has a good 1/4" of slop at the u-joint. parts on order

 

- 06 F150 9.75 posi. rear pinion bearing toast. inherited this from another tech on vacation. got 'er done and kicked out today - new bearings and cups on the pinion and sides. new frictions.

[Brad Clayton]

Glad we gotta good ass man around here!

Econolines are not that bad once you get used to them. Certain things do suck like oil cooler jobs and if you get one that needs head gaskets. There are jobs that are easier to do then fseries like turbos, rear exuast work and FICM's.

Actually i once did a turbo on one without taking the front apart-the engine was still warm. I reached around the front of the turbo and loosened the clamps and heater lines, unbolt everything else and right out in just under a half hour.

Front plate say Kingland Ford?

[Aaron]

Kinda like this one

 

[YukonTyler]

Kinda .... some are sold from Kingland either in Yellowknife or Hay River. Others have been sold in Whitehorse and then travel up to places like Inukiv or Ft McPherson. When I say polar bear plates I generally mean trucks registered in the NWT.

 

I'm sure there are some really nice, clean units in Hay River and Yellowknife. The problem is that if they make it to me in Whitehorse it means they've driven either the Liard Trail or the Dempster Hwy to get here. These "highways" destroy trucks all day long.

[Aaron]

Used to live in Hay River, the truck in the photo is mine.

 

Liked the Yellowknife dealership much better, if I'd lived and worked in Yellowknife I'd likely still be there.

[Matt Saunoras]

still really slow so I'm building a running gear/cylinder rack for my MIG.

 

 

I want it to be large/sturdy enough to hold 2 machines and 2 80cu/ft tanks of shielding gas.

 

I also built the rolling work table below it

[Brad Clayton]

Nice, now all you have to do is build a shop for you and the guys to work out of.

1967 mustang gt 500, runs rough. Pops and backfires on hard accel. Car has an 05 mustang gt powertrain. Kind-of felt funny using the ids on a 67 stang.2 bad coils and a bent pin on bank 2 vct phaser, and away she goes. Man does it go too....

[Brad Clayton]

[Matt Saunoras]

want more pictures of my cart?

 

doing a 6.4 horizontal cooler, primary belt tensioner and some other stuff in between honing my fabrication skills

[cbriggs]

I never have my camera at work when I need it. It belongs to the owner of our dealership, I'll work on some pictures.
