I didn't plan ahead very well. I should have gotten a bigger trailer and towed my truck with the Mule.

 

The bead on the tire/rim has separated. The biggest chore will be to get the tire to seal of enough to take air.

 

i put a strap around the tread of tire, pull it tight and it makes the side walls push out, then put air in.

 

That is my plan. It usually works, but I'm not as strong as I used to be.

Friday the 13th struck dad today. He got in a accident. Started to cross a busy intersection, when he got half way across another car pulled out and he stopped, a woman going the other way nailed dad in the left front and a small section of the door. Cops gave dad a ticket, but 2 witnesses said dad did nothing wrong and the woman never hit her brakes when she plowed into him. That Mercedes had to be the strongest vehicle ever made. Ever accident he's been in has been minor damage compared to the other cars involved. Main thing is he's OK

 

You can replace the car but not Dad...glad he's OK!

 

Before






After!!








I actually went over a month without washing the truck, I swear it runs better when clean

 

Ture dat! I'm sure he's going to want to fix it, he has a special bond with it.

 

A clean and shiny truck does run better then filthy one....saw it on mythbusters!!!

 

They said the same thing with people 3D printing keys by taking a picture of your keys in your hand, or clipped to a belt loop.

If a criminal wants in your car it's only one piece of glass away. No need to be super high tech

 

My V8 runs fine all the time, clean or dirty. Sounds like you have a defective truck.

I heard they have a recall for some F150s. Apparently some of them left the factory with only 6 cylinders.

 

Ran 70 to 75 most of the way and had a northerly head wind. Got 13.7 on the 125 miles with the mule. Good little trailer, 5 x 10, never new it was back there other than when I checked the mirror.

 

Bluejay, did you get that bead to seat on the flat? I saw a guy one time that gave the unseated tire about a 3 to 5 count with some starting fluid. Stepped back and threw a match at it and jumped onto the edge of the rim enough to air it up.
