Interior is out
still strange to me to see one of these steering wheels with no cruise control switches.
For an explorer dude who has crushed alot of explorers and now doing rangers it still catches my eye
You want dedication? How about power washing when its only 28 degrees outside!
My neighbor is a badass
SOOOOOOOOO much better to work on now
Starting to look acceptable, considering monstaliner for this truck
Note to everyone who reads this, Bosch +4 spark plugs are a GIMMICK. Electricity is like water it always follows the path of least resistance. So you offer it 4 electrodes to choose from....when you only really need one. There is an old trick amongst (word?) racers from back in the day, file back your spark plug electrodes to expose more of the tip of the plug to the combustion chamber. This makes for a cleaner more complete spark as the electricity (spark) is exposed to the combustion chamber without having to travel around the electrode first.... Bosch knows this, and when they released the +2 and +4 plugs back in the 90's....people fell for it. People Ford spent ALOT of $$$$ developing spark plugs that work best in their engines.....use them.
Bosch +4 = money down the drain, they cause more issues then they solve.
I bet the gap between the electrode and the top of the plug is more then .054" with +4 and I bet the spark only travels to the electrode that is closest.
These heads are about to get CLEAN, checked for flatness and cracks.......although I only see two spots where it looked like the gasket failed, I think we will be good to go just to replace the gaskets.
very recent clutch
Now that this truck is clean we can see some things, it has a reman rack and pinion, it has newer upper and lower ball joints, newer brakes front and rear. The front brakes are going bye bye anyways but it is nice to see some major upkeep was done on this rig.
We need to extract one seat bolt and fix a crack in the drivers floor, solve a water leak at the drivers windshield.
Now waiting on parts!
