Default Details

So my truck right. It doesn't run right. Somethings wrong. I turn the key and it makes this weird noise.
I think it's the engine but I'm not sure. It makes noises when I push on the skinny pedal. I changed the plugs and tightened them to 28ft pounds (or the best I could). I do use 87 octanes as that's what it calls for. When I take it off jumps it makes this weird clunking noise. Kind of like a little kid banging a pot. It might be a 4x4 but I call it a 4x5 cause of the spare tire.
It is a FX4 if that makes a difference. Supercap. 4 doors...technically. Not much room in the back for fatties.
I used to be a little kid. My best friend was Tom. I do run motorcraft oil (or so the dealer says). Should I run it ticker? 10w-40 should be better I would think, it doesn't smoke but this should help.
Never seen mud but salt all the time. Is this an issue? Purple.
It does have Auto-Start though. Works perfectly for the most part...ok probably 99% of the time. I'm not lieing. If I'm out of range
Would buick fender vents look silly? Or would I get an extra couple ponies for when I'm pulling my buddy behind it in a tube. Right now it doesn't have enough power and isn't fast enough. Need moar power.
So these programmers which is the best can I use more than 2 at a time how much more mpg and powers can i expect does anyone have any recommendations.

/end of my example of why it is important to give relevant details to the issue you are having. Also why using a little of what was learned in English class is important. It's hard to help with issues when we aren't sure what is actually the problem.

I know a poor therapist.

I like my coffee black. Black enough a spoon can stand up in it.

Ticker = German accent.

That explains it, some internals that aren't getting lubricated.

Ticker sounds sort of bright-ish IMO.

The level of detail in this post is amazing. Assuming that you're a new poster, you haven't seen the "search" function of the forum. This function becomes noticeable after several hundred posts. Also, just keep driving until the condition worsens, or until you decide to post again with either a new topic, or a "bump" within the same day. Someone is due to respond lightning fast because we (forum members) don't have lives, and can operate the search function.

Other than that, have a wonderful day. Great post

I never search. Once in awhile I forget more than anyone will ever know. Wait, what?
