@baconreclaimer - oh I know
Every ford ive ever ran across was a 302, 351w or a 460
Unless you were unfortunate and had the 300
My asshole father owned a '73 Mustang Coupe with a 302v2. I learned my Ford from him, and then Mopar when I upgraded.
That’s not to say they were bad but you’re not getting anywhere fast
I always enjoyed a old 318
The problem with Ford was the restrictive heads. They choked their motors.
Any dodge truck I’ve ever owned tbh
Only issues I had was the first gen of 5.9s after the 24 valve
I learned to drive in a '68 Plymouth Sport Fury III wagon with a 318.
Buts that’s more a Cummins issues than dodges
For some reason they decided the exhaust manifold should dump out over the #2 cylinder instead of the 3/4 holes
Which cooked #6 over time
They fixed that in later models but guess who had the one that liked to drop cylinder 6
I've only ever owned gas motors.
Diesel is bae
I’m a truck guy though
I have what I hope to be the last pickup I ever have to own now in a 96 250 with a 7.3
Some Mennonite drove it around the farm and to church and had service reports for the last 5 years it’s not in perfect condition but it’s and really good mechanically speaking condition
He took very good care of it
I had a ‘12 with the 5.7 it was a sweet ride
Got into a wreck and decided to not make another vehicle payment though
We got our son a '14 Jeep Cherokee in February and today he paid it off by totaling it.
Oof that was your pic from before
What did he end up hitting
He dozed off and hit a guard rail at 60mph. They brought part of the guard rail to the tow yard.
The beauty of a crumple zone. It absorbs a huge amount of force
I've never seen so many airbags.....it is like there were airbags inside of airbags. He walked away without a scratch/cut/mark save for a small airbag burn to his left forearm.
Thats impressive. They've definitely come a long way in safety
Last summer there was an accident outside the shop i work at. Prius Tboned a volvo C70(convertible coupe) at about 45-50. Hit directly on the driver door of the volvo. Kid was shaken up but completely fine. Lady in the prius we had to cut out because the airbags were completely casing her in. She also didnt suffer any injuries
Let's build some technicals
I’m picking up a 97 F350 tomorrow 🔥🔥🔥
Dually? 7.3?
Noice
