An old saying of what FORD stands for; Fix Or Repair Daily I like my old F150 with 176,000 on it with very little problems, when it dies I will probably get another one! Built one of these yet?

Not trucks, but last 2 vehicle purchases have been fords. Been very happy with them lowest maintenance/issue vehicles I’ve owned. I think I’ll always buy a Cummins over a powerstroke though.

I know a Ford Tech. I asked. His answer: "Just so you have it in text if it goes to 220 and holds then that's bad usual temps are 180-205".
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

Drove my truck with a gooseneck and tractor hooked to it.
Depending on area I kept it between 65 and 73. Outside it’s 101*. Transmission never got over 178*
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Driving around town for about 30 min in humid 82 degree ambient temps here in PA. They run warm... it's normal. I was worried about my Raptor the engine coolant was running around 210 just driving normal with no load. I looked it up and it’s just how they run.
