I replaced a badly rusted tailgate on the '87 2WD in September. At the same time I also replaced all the hardware with new parts purchased on Ebay. This past weekend I replaced all the cheap Chinese hardware that ALL broke within 3 months, with good used original parts. Never again with the Chinese Crap!!
I also replaced the thermostat and upper radiator hose. Just ordered new ignition switch, driveshaft carrier bearing and front u-joint. Next up will be the firewall repair patch for the clutch master cylinder.

Just call me Sean

Success, the EGR works. Sort of. Just need to fix the leaking pipe, and the broken bolt. But the computer sees that it's operating as it should.

oh we havent done much to say, well we havent done anything at all, with both funds being super tight between two seat belt tickets we got, and I lost her keys 3 days ago. lol.

funny story about the two seat belt tickets, one was in AZ,
the state po po comes up and goes the obvious license registration proof of insurance, he started asking me why I was in AZ who I was visitin gettin all up in my SH*T, than he goes, nice truck, how many miles are on it. im like yeah i know i drove it 1500 miles here, with no problems.

than the ticket in NM.
does the obvious again, license registration proof of a ghetto bank account (where u dont see money unless u wreck)
so he goes step out and stand next to my vehicle at this point I was like OH SH**T im goin to Little MExico Jail, instead he goes i pulled u over cuz u had no seat belt on, and this time this po po was REALLY impressed by my truck.. he goes, "What year is that an 89 model?" oh no officer thats a 94 Offcer-"how many miles are on it" me-"225,000 miles" than the cop sais this..... Officer-" Im IMPressed" he excentuates impressed putting emphasis on impressed so it sounds like this, "im IMMpressed" lol... I was about to fall over dead. but all in all I still got a ticket didnt matter how impressed he was by my truck. that my duffle bag and my Honda Generator where hangin out the *** end of my truck lol..


this hell hole of a trip from TN to AZ back to TN just got better. now I got 2 tickets which none I have money for lol.

so Im driving right along pass through texas, oklahoma (spent 2 days there because my no so friend owed me 300$ and never deposited it into my account so I was stranded in Oklahoma right off the 40 bout 32 miles east of Texas border) so I called him and gave him a piece of my mind, he didnt care cuz it wasnt him... so I told him to shuve it. so I called another REAL good friend of mine who is a cop and he wired me an emergency amount of money.

so im back on the road get almost to West Memphis AK, before I get pulled over,
Me-"WHAT THE **** NOW GOD BLAH BLAH BLAH!!! (im saying this before the cop comes to my passenger window lol"

Cop-"what er ya doin sir"
Me-" on my way back from AZ sir,"
Cop-"why don't u step on out of here
I obviously do as he sais,

I get out and stand in front of him, he asked me was I in the military, (because im wearing my old ACU's from when I was stationed at the 278th in Lebanon, TN)

Me-I was stationed at the 278th in Lebanon, TN officer, I am discharged as of blah blah date.

officer-" you was, ok, well come have a seat in my car in the passenger seat.

this point I was about to freakin kill myself i thought i was goin to jail AGAIN. im not acustom to being asked to sit in a cop car because in my town i know all the cops and the police cheif and i hardley ever get a ticket.

so I was like

"sit..... in the passenger seat"

Officer-"yeah"

so we go sit in his Dodge Charger i think it was,
he begins explaining to me that a off duty police officer called me and thought i was intoxicated because I was driving through a construction zone and I was having a hard time maintaining lane due to the traffic cones.

so he goes,

"this is just a warning saying that i pulled u over, u were left of center. ur not under arrest, u dont have to pay a citation. ur good to go.

I was about to die, he followed me for like 4 miles till I got near West Memphis.

so lesson to the kiddy's just learning how to drive. don't matter who you are or who you know.

if u drive a red ford 90's model pickup, ur gonna get stopped and get a ticket. lol,....

man, i haven't been pulled over or anything lol, that was a good story. cops around here get pissed if you go ONLY 5 mph over the speed limit and pass you. sounds like your truck is cursed though man, sorry to say

As a testament to the quality of stickers that this forum has purchased (or tothe strength they magically get for bearing the F150 name) mine after careful peeling, restuck. It has not rained yet but should today. We will see if I really need another one or not.
