I figured 27 for a Motorcraft pump was a steal. 47 isn't bad either. They seem to last longer, and are a lot easier to replace than a SBF pump.

Went to office this morning for company lunch / party.
at 6:30 it was 58F and had just stopped raining.
Wind picked up like crazy ~9:00
Started getting to be a cold wind ~10 ish.
Current (16:32) temp is 22F and it is to get to 12F overnight.

I'm just glad the precipitation is past. No snow is good.
All the news people seem to have been given the phrase "Coldest Christmas in a generation".
Lat super bad one was in 1999 when we had a huge ice storm.


Anyone have a high current alternator or rebuild kit they could recommend? I have the 130 amp. I want some extra current to charge a camper.

Right, not bad at 47 and thanks again. Do you know off hand if those the right sizes for the gen 10 trucks ? Not going to mess with it until it warms up, not a necessity. That'll keep it out of the salt anyway. Like to get the parts wrenches, so I'll have those on hand when the time comes.

If it's an original 130 amp large case 3G then it's actually a 160 amp peak. Ford didn't cheap out yet before many of these trucks were built.

Ohio would most likley know about the rebuild kits, he rebuilt one.

They removed mine in that video.... I just didn't film it. Had a few swears in there, because that SOB was tight!!

Utah Motorsports Campus has everyone wondering if this is a hint that they are building a drag strip..... I sure hope so!

Yep, picking up a bullet heater for the garage today. The deep freeze is over and it's time to get back to work on my fuel line, but it's friggin' cold out there!

The best thing we've done for consistent temps in the house so far is encapsulating and dehumidifying the crawl space. I think Windows will be next year. ..we'll probably move the next year because that's dumb luck, lol.
