    1990 Ford F250 with 460

    Bought a spare pickup to have around for periodic needs. I've done a lot of searching, haven't found much about the 460. What's your thoughts? It has 131k miles, seems to be in decent condition. Was thinking of running HM Maxlife 10w30... thoughts? Would it be worth it to put something like...

Looking for a syn oil for my 05 PSD 6.0L. I was going to go with Amsoil AME, but decided to cancel my order after...

    Is the 6.0L Powerstroke really THAT bad????

    I just bought a 2005 F250, 6.0L. It has 90k miles.. I bought an extended warranty for 3yr, 36k miles. Seems like not many people have much good to say about this motor. Who here actually had problems with this motor themselves? I'm needing my truck to last for several years...

What's everyone's thoughts on what I should do. I don't want to jeopardize my motor by letting any extra dirt in... I'm...

    2005 Powerstroke 6.0L

    Just bought an F250 with the 6.0L. Has 90k miles. Was curious how many miles these engines are good for? I know, that's a loaded question. I'm aware they had an injecter issue in 03 and they shear oil. Any worthwhile additive for the fuel to help prevent injector issues? I just ordered Amsoil...

    accidentally got a drop of oil..

    I was changing my oil filter in my pickup tonight, got a drop in my mouth. Just a drop, not a pour. tasted nasty. I obviously rinsed my mouth out. Not that I'm a hypochondriac, but is a little drop like that REALLY bad for ones health? Anyone ever get motor oil in their mouth?

    PFC. Tom Tucker

    I'm going to the memorial tonight for PFC Tom Tucker, one of the soldiers kidnapped and killed last week. My wife was good friends with him. His family and my inlaws are pretty close. It's amazing how this town of Madras has rallied for the family. I know there are a lot of folks that have...

    I better not ever see these people...

    Protestors I better not see poeple with signs saying that IEDs are Gods punishment to the US because we don't kick out gays. I'm not going into the whole gay thing, that's irrelavent. Cheering at a funeral of a soldier is unspeakably terrible. I'm at a loss for words. All I can say is I hope...

    10 hp briggs lawn tractor

    Just got an older murray lawn tractor, it has a 10hp briggs. Am changing the oil on it(imagine that!) It came out black and thick! I was going to just run 10w30 Supertech oil in it, but got thinking. Should I throw some AutoRX in it? What would you do to clean in up inside? It has great compression.

    Adding an electric turbo to 250cc go kart......

    I've read that these are kinda hokey and that they don't do much of anything for cars. But, I have a 250cc 21hp go kart. It has a pretty restricted air intake. What about adding this: Ebay Electric Supercharger It would only add about 2-3 psi. I could pipe it directly into the carb. Think this...

My guess is with the carb. I live at 7k ft altitude here in Flagstaff, AZ my guess is this thing was...
