I feel blessed being the oldest one in the shop and still the only one who lay under a dash wiring the car all day. but, I am not so sure I was that smart starting a career as a mechanic at 53. Watching Emily sit all hunched over under the truck makes my neck hurt.

I'm sorry you spent an unnecessary $300, but I'm glad you showed me how to properly change an injector and test the gasket/harness in case I ever need to on mine. That was very interesting. Thank you both....and Finley too. Be safe!

You only need to pull the bottom bolt out of the injector. The retainer rocks up and slides away to pull the injector without pulling the top bolt. Those oil deflectors for the injector are used to keep the exhaust oil from wearing a hole in the valve cover gaskets or blowing oil under the gasket.

I retired from Dow Chemical in Freeport, Texas. They too use microbes. It was a plant called the "Bio Ponds" we just called it the "Bug Pond." All the wastewater from all the plants went to the Bio-Ponds before being released to the river after the outfall was analyzed of course. If the "bugs" in the pond got sick, the entire Plant-B Division may have to be shutdown which would cost millions of dollars. They took loving care of the "bugs."

I've seen dino and synthetic from the same brand not play nice with each other and sludge an engine. Some goober I know was using 3 quarts conventional and 3 quarts synthetic to make a "custom" blend in their new LS and changed oil every 3000. That was a real mess when they went full synthetic still with that brand and 1000 miles later all the sludge in the engine cut loose. Ever had an engine suddenly start trying to shake itself out of the mounts because 5w30 suddenly got thicker than gear oil? The engine ended up being fine but still scary. That truck was traded 30,000 miles later with 44k on it still running perfect. Only makes sense that it could happen with diff oil too. That's why I always tell people to pick an oil and stick with it. And I'm so glad I wasn't able to smell that old diff oil because it seems like the more beat up it is the worse it smells. BTW, I'm in my 40's now and get reminded that I'm not as durable and flexible as I used to be. Take care of yourself now because that will make a huge difference in how your body works later.

to stop the squirrels/ critters leaving you lovely stashes of nuts if you put some wire mesh over the snorkel intake pipe of the air box it will stop them crawling up it. just need a small mesh size. basically as long as a pencil doesn't fit through then its good. as mice apparently have deformable skulls and if a pencil fits, they fit.

Can I just say THANK YOU! for putting the exhaust out the side! If you're going to trailer with a truck, the last thing you want is the exhaust blowing at you while you're hitching things up. I know it's the appearance fad these days, and even most factory trucks are coming with that, but it just doesn't make sense to me.

Yes I remember the gear oil smell for sure. Worse is the old special posi oil they used in my 66 Chevelle! Years ago I accumulated an assortment of various sizes, lengths and thread pitch bolts, cut the heads off and use them to align and help hold parts like that cover in place until I can get the bolts in. Often makes those jobs easier. I've bought rebuilt water pumps for a small block Chevy that had the impeller installed backward so it happens! Good work on all of those jobs!

Hey, don't you kids beat yourselves up about the new parts failures right out of the box. Bad "new" parts are more common now days than ever before. More so for "remand" parts. Anyone who's spun wrenches has experienced it way more than once. I believe we consumers should not have to be the missing "quality control" for parts manufacturers. We should not have to test new electrical parts before installing them. Anyway, love you both. And Finley.

@robbyoliver4953 5 ай бұрын

I had one of theses trucks can’t remember what year it was but it was just like this one. I think a 97. I had to change valve cover gaskets for a dead cylinder the injector wires went thru the gaskets one was bad, they said it is common problem. Injectors started failing later. So I had change a bunch of those, in those days they were like 8000.00 each at the parts store. I don’t drive any more of Ford diesels. Only a Cummins man now. I wanted one of these trucks a long time before I got one, owned it a couple of years and sold it. Went back to Dodge. But I always liked the look and sound of these trucks mine was early Power Stroke 5 speed manual and 4x4 extended cab. Cab lights and Green in color. One thing I didn’t like was with out aggressive tires it didn’t do well in mud. Got stuck easy, even on hard but muddy ground. They can be hard to start in cold weather. Cummins is a drastic opposite difference. But man will they run, very quick. In 5th it would run faster than I wanted to drive it. 4 th will show you over 100.

Not to mention lots of "lovely" sparkles. I'd cleaned all the teeth off the sun gears on my "HD" Holden diff. Oh and Finlay is so dang cute.
