I originally bought this 92 F250 tp harvest the EFI 460 and 5 speed transmission to swap into a project but had a change of heart and now want to use it as a rig to tow trailers. Wish me luck, necause it didnt turn out so well last time I tried it

    You deserve way more views then you are getting, I know you don’t full time YouTube but you should promote your channel a little more, love the vids.

    Cool what a revival, so much content, great presentation of perseverance good job (yea those settle reminders check the lug nuts) - Priceless. Total enjoyed the front end alignment my dad taught a similar method but need another body to hold the tape measure. LOL
  • Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ don't apologize for the long video, it was very cool to see that F-250 just sitting there as a pile of junk turn into a viable tow rig. That could have been ugly with those loose lug nuts, yeah s*** happens. Thanks for an awesome video Ron, man keep up the great work 👍✌️🇺🇲
  • i had a lot of health problems have lasted couple years but am back working some but really enjoy and glad i found your channel plain and simple to the point hope you never change your approach to you tube

    Great stuff!! I once did exactly the same thing with the rear lugnuts on a car.....completely restored an old MGB and on the first trip it was doing the same.....both back wheels were damn near felling off. Live and learn......

    Loved the video, the longer the better. Looking forward to the next one 👍

    May of been a long one but it was very interesting 🤔 as well. Thanks for sharing 😊.
  • I got a 1996 f150 4.9l and it’s runs great when cold you can fire it up in the morning and drive it anywhere but as soon as you shut it off and go to restart it she fights it’ll fire off but surges and shakes the whole truck you gotta give it gas to calm it then it runs fine
  • @RuggedArtistry
    I'm not familiar with the MT 90 oil that you put in the transmission but check the manual. I think you'll find that the ZF5 uses a thinner oil because of their inherent tight tolerances. Thanks for the video.
  • 146k ain’t bad at all, I had a 97 F-350 single wheel 4x4 460 5 speed that the odometer quit at 352k. Spent most of its life plowing mud through pastures and pulling a triple axle stock trailer. Its ultimate demise was when the seat broke through the floor because it was rusted out and became too scary to drive 😂 460’s are tough. It might not have got the fuel mileage, but it would out pull the 7.3’s of the day, and start easily in the cold.

    We had an 87 f350 2wd 460 with a 4 speed it was a good truck it had an RV engine that only had 40,000 miles on it The truck towed a 19,000 pound mini excavator or a 25 foot dump trailer no problem until it lost oil pressure. Cold it only had like 7 psi and once it warmed up it went to zero and the lifters started tapping

    Oh man so Furiosa sucked I wanted to go see that. You got my subscription since you believe in freedom and due to that rig on your hip Sir. As I watched more of the video you recorded the “Kitty” with frost bitten ears. And it reminded me of a cat I have coming around my house. I feel bad for him but I can’t help him. I already have 2 cats technically I should only have 1 but the second cat I had told the original owner if she couldn’t take care of it to call me and I’ll assume responsibility. At any rate how do you mentally get past what these cats have to endure through out their lives. If people would just get them fixed to not make more this wouldn’t be a issue. My conscience just really eats at me when I see them.
  • many years ago mid 1970's i gave $650.00 for the Snapon Ball Joint remover kit its so odd present day mostly use my Harbor Freight ball joint tool much easier to use. good thing about it though the adapters will interchange. will have to admit the Snapon is a much heaver duty tool but never found joints the Harbor Freight tool doesn't work just fine
  • Good video!! And good editing!! I know it took a long time to make it but it was very good!!

    Maybe its because its a chevy but when i cut the bed bolts off the old 78 k10 they did the same thing with the punch but didn’t hang up the bed could be because there was hardly any rails left as well
