"Clip" as in "I want a 30 round clip for my rifle" The metallic box that holds the cartridges for a pistol, or a semi-auto (or full-auto) rifle is a MAGAZINE.. not a "Clip" A clip is the short flat piece of metal with grooves that holds five or ten rounds that is normally used to load...

I guess the BEST upgrade I did would have to be taking out the old Fuel oil furnace and replacing it with a heat pump WITH central air. It had 1 window unit when I moved in 6 years ago. Second, NONE of the three bedrooms had a ceiling light. Oh there was a light switch in each room alright...

Nope, there's a special pulley puller for that, don't use your 3 jaw puller. 1. it won't work, and 2. you'll screw up the pulley, probably break it.

One more time for the Revos! My F-150 came stock with the Wranglers...worst tire I ever had on a truck (my opinion of course). Replaced with Revos and all was right with the world.

Make sure to take, and post, PLENTY OF PICTURES of your progress!

Ford Motor Company, Kentucky Truck Plant. Home of the Super Duty!

Whatever works...knowing there was a broken part on my truck would aggravate the living f**k outta me...I'd have fixed it while it was all apart. Just my damned OCD again I guess.:confused:

Yeah, it's Brian Jones' lot.. Sorry, my bad. the wife just informed me it was an Applebee's, Theres a big peddlers mall type of thing across the street. guy was asking $690, but evidently wasn't getting any bites...guess he needs to move it. Now it's down to $500. Yeah, it's the tan 1st gen...

1991 got a blown head gasket $500. It's at Brian Jones Auto Sales, out on Shoppers Drive, kind of across the street from Chili's.

While that would be a wet dream come true...I wouldn't wanna get a second mortgage on my house to buy one! Last one I saw was $17,000 and needed a rebuild! :eek: Of course it was an original. Don't know what the repops cost...Hell I didn't even know they were making them.

Good to see another Kentucky boy on here! wisekise, I ain't 'bout 50 miles or so from ya! In fact, Ima 'bout to make a trip up to Winchester to look at an Expy!

That is SO fun! we used to do that back when I was young, before there were explorers, and we only had those old wood and steel sleds!:chug: The pain factor was heavily outweighed by the fun!

It is on par with toyota/honda/nissan, in the neighborhood of $43-$47 But understand, if we take a pay cut, so will they, just so they can say they still make less than us. Mark my words, watch and see. That fella using the hoist to put the seat in? dunno about the other plants, but I work...

OK Folks, here's how they come up with that "$73" an hour. I actually make $28 and change. They add what my healthcare costs per year, break it down to an hourly rate, and add that to the $28. Then they add up what pension costs are per year, break that down to an hourly rate, and add...

As a Ford Motor Company/UAW worker, I'd like to adderss this statement. As per the last (2007) contract, we now have a $300 per year deductible. OK, so I know that's not a lot. You have a $10 co-pay, Ours is $25. Your ER visit co-pay is $50. Ours is $100. I'll Address the $73 an hour...

No....the self adjuster is designed to take up the "slack" or extra gap produced between the shoe and drum as the pad wears down, so what it does basically, is adjust the brake shoes tighter. You'll have to back it off yourself.

fordktpjoe. I work for Ford...ford I work at the Kentucky Truck Plant...ktp And joe...obviously, is my first name.

Yeah, I know it will, but I been searching since July of this year, and it's becoming a little frustrating, not to mention all the time wasted running all over creation just to check out another piece of junk. However, I will say that as I go back and read my own experience threads, they are...

You know, I actually thought about that while I was sitting there, except I was going to ask for a 12/12 warranty. Drivetrain only of course.

Yeah, the 5 speed is what almost had me sold. I've been told that 300k on an A4LD is not pretty.....or cheap. For $400 I wouldn't have even asked them to come down on the price, but this particular one must have some gold hidden in it somewhere. It's been almost a week now, Ima wait and...

Some of you have been following my experience in trying to buy an Explorer. I have been posting the more interesting experiences here in an effort to entertain you guys/girls, and hopefully to help others learn what to watch out for. So, without further adieu, on to part III. Last...

AFAIK, The Explorer Sport Trac was never made with the first gen front body. They didn't come out until the second gen body style. (maybe even third gen) I am quite sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. They are made at the Louisville Assembly Plant, across town from the plant I work at...

While it's true it doesn't snow here that often, we still get snow here. More often than not it's ice. This past year we got 8" of snow one day, in Jan. or Feb. and then in March we got 15" ! I work at Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant, (Home of the SuperDuty) and they DO NOT believe in "snow...

OK, So after the fiasco of my last look at a used explorer, I have been continuing in my search, driving hundreds of miles, and looking at tens of vehicles. Rust buckets, mosquito killers, parts donors, and the like. I run across an ad on Cars.com (or was it autotrader.com?) for a 1994...

Heck yeah! $200 is chump change! I'd be all over that thing, even if I had to pay a shop to do the tranny!
