Re: Hamacks Spotted

That was a fun meeting and the show was funny. We are enjoying our coffee, too.

We love our Cardinal friends, past and present. Have a wonderful fall.

Re: Expect a dramatic rise in cost of diesel in the next yea

I thought the only problem with biodiesel was the water it can hold.
Test have shown that the bio produced better milage than reg diesel.

Re: Expect a dramatic rise in cost of diesel in the next yea

in Lake Charles, la, there was a plant being built that makes diesel from natural gas. that part was put on hold when crude oil priced dropped. the rest of the plant is under construction.

Re: Expect a dramatic rise in cost of diesel in the next yea

if it affects diesel prices, it will affect gasoline prices as well. refiners will reduce the amount of low sulfur "diesel" being converted to gasoline.

Re: Ford 2002 7.3 check engine light

Jim, I'm glad you listened to me on getting the new 6.7. I am now carrying 2 stools for Debbie to use to get in the truck and her Excursion and they are both 2WD!. The step height isn't too bad if you have the running boards. That was one thing that I had to be very specific about when we got the F...

Re: Ford 2002 7.3 check engine light

engine wise, i feel like the 7.3 still has lots of miles left in it. (it has 200k on it now). the truck has really been trouble free. the truck was just barely rated for the trailer. the new one is rated at 35k CGVW. the 6.7 has been around sense 2012. really haven't heard anything about it. the two...

Re: Ford 2002 7.3 check engine light

well....bill we mortgaged the kids and bought the 6.7 this past Tuesday (6-21). one thing i noticed (after i brought my stool over), the injectors and glow plugs are visible. i'm trying to get a few miles on it before i hitch the trailer to it.
Audrey isn't happy with the high first step to get in.

Re: Ford 2002 7.3 check engine light

My latest is the ck light came on in Nov 2015 (when I was going to pick up the trailer). This time it turned out to b #7 injector. Got the light first and it didn't reset after 100 miles. Then I could barley get it above 30 mph. There was no outward indication of a problem ie no smoke. Just ran extr...

Mine did it again and turned out to be the wiring harness worked loose at the 9 pin connector under the valve cover.
