> I love my Ford so no bashing now
yeah, i like mine too!
I just talked with the mechanic who is fixing my truck
he goes, the clutch is fine now, only thing...
the radiator fan near bout went through the radiator
(i drove it too him in second gear....lots of rpms)
I should have known, but I could not speed shift into 3rd going down
hill
the whore just wouldnt do it for me
as a result I messed up my water pump.
dang!
oh well...
it's done now!

I got my truck back this evening oh soo cool
had two jobs to go do...did that!
then...
coming home, I noticed there is no cushion at the top of the clutch
pedal
I was thinking it should have about 1" or so of slop
this way I know it is fully engaged?
Im not really concerend, it feels excellent.
the whole brake and clutch pedal assembly or "hog head"
had broken in several places..I ended up needing a rod somewhere in the
chain
to the clutch fork.
they also put a new water pump on, claiming, you could have never
driven it as it was.
which i didn't mind, it was only $50 labor (one hour) plus new pump
I had a GRAND DAY! I rode her hard and put her up wet about an hour
ago.

Hey Backyard,

a tauraus wagon ran hot and cut off on you
this is extremely subjective
the damn thermostat was stuck
you should have replaced it
did it do this at 100,000 miles or 5 miles
if it did it at 5 miles you could have taken it right back
you get 72 hours to change you're mind
