pulled a stuck Tundra out of the snow with it

 

I like how you refer to your E350 as a creeper cruiser

 

Its a plain white van with no side windows and a cage in it behind the seats.
I really hate following a school bus in it.

Maybe once it gets lettered up it wont look quite as creepy.

 

Drove it to the beach.

 

I usually refer to them as rapist-mobiles, or something like that, so now I can add to that vocab list.

Is it your company van? If not, lettering it up with ice cream signs would help attribute to the creepiness. Then maybe paint it black and hit a few things with it to dent it up real nice

 

 

Hi this is my 1st post on here and hope its not in the wrong area etc..
I bought my son a 1998 SC stx 4.6 for his 15th birthday to have a father son project for a year until he turns 16. well everything has been going smooth with the project (replacing simple stuff like brakes, suspension, battery, tune up , a 3 inch lift, etc) when i noticed the truck went from running as smooth as you could ask a 1 owner 113k truck to run to jumping and skipping and jerking all of a sudden. 1st time started truck fine ran about 5 mins or 3 miles then the whole jerk jump bang thing occurred, cut truck off and wouldnt start ....let truck sit for 2hrs and started right up. 2nd, 3rd and 4th trips were the same. so i assumed the fuel filter was claugged thinking after it sits the fuel eventually bleeds thru to start, well it went on like a breeze and actually seemed to take away a little of the jerk jump bang. So like any good Father i ran down and got all 8 bosch iridium spark plugs and spark plug wires. spent the afternoon tackling this job with my son, oddly enough i started on the driver side and it went as expected, learned some new curse words and eventually got it done. the plugs looked fouled and typical. THE REAL PROBLEM is when we moved to the passenger side, pulled what i believe is 1-2-3-4 and every single one was dripping wet / rusty colord boots and of course im thinking worse case but dont want to discourage him so im just working away. i blew wells out really good before plug removal and seated plugs with anitiseeze and dilecs grease, insured all boots were seated completely down and double checked it 2 more time ran truck about 5 miles and still jerk jump bang???? and why would water be in all four spark wells??? oil is clean and no signs of water and coolant is exactly where it is suppose to be aside from being a lil rusty / needs to be flushed and will. im sorry if post was too long again this is my 1st post and constructive criticism is welcomed. any advise or recommendations would be greatly appreciated

 

Post that in an engine forum. I'd leave the post as is, because it has enough details, and just copy and paste it into Forums>Powertrain and Mechanical>V8 Engines

Welcome too!

 

Started it up for the first time in 3 weeks. Girlfriend is taking it to work tomorrow cause her truck is in the shop. I took it for a ride and enjoyed how comfortable it is. More comfy than my car, I adapt too easily it must seem cause after driving my car afterwards my back ached again from the stiffer ride, makes me keep thinking it needs struts.

 

Spent quality time on the phone with my brother in law trying to see when he is going to get that Chevy off his lift. They have had the hoist tied up for 3 weeks waiting for the builder to be done with the bench work and get the tranny back for that truck. I am about to see what it will take to roll the chevy off the lift pull mine in do the work, and push the Chevy back on... Oh well beggers can't be choosers...

 

well it wasn't today, installed it Monday.. I was super excited about getting the bed cover, now im not so sure if I like it...

 

After a 3 years of opening and closing my ol' leer 700 series tonnoI took it off and have not put it back on since

 

Yeah, I climb into my bed just about every other day, so a cover is a very expensive no-go for me. My dad's 03 had one, and I didn't like that one.

I think they look good on HDs though and it depends on how often you put stuff in the bed, and how valuable those things are.

 

If you don't use your bed a lot, a cover is a nice addition. I never use my truck, but I love the bed rug bed liner and the Leer 700. Comfy inside to climb into, keeps things dry and hidden, looks good outside to me. If I used my bed every day, I would hate it, would probably get a tri-fold and a line-x.

 

washed it yesterday, first time since before hunting season, yuck. i powerwash under it every couple of weeks however. hosed off the weather techs and scrubbed them, vacuumed it up real nice. been doing good.
