I like how you worked your watermark into the picture.
My other ride is a Volvo too, just not quite as nice as yours....
You've got more cylinders, more horsepower, more torque, rear wheel drive, even factory hood vents. On paper, your Volvo sounds a lot better than mine. Haha

lol...but on the asphalt you'll be clear outta site before I ever hit top gear!
Occasionally, my truck has been bucking under acceleration, usually when a higher load is applied for going up hill. Some days it happens, some days it doesn't. It has only been occurring for the last week and has happened anywhere between 80°F and 50°F. A few sputters from the exhaust lead me to believe it's a misfire.
No pending codes, no CEL.
I've ordered a set of Motorcraft spark plugs. Looking at the COPs and wires, everything looks to be in good condition. At 348k miles, these were definitely replaced at some point, I just don't know how long ago.
Anything in particular to be looking for with the COPs? I've read a lot of mixed opinions about changing all of them with the plugs vs. only changing the ones that go bad. But with no codes, I'm not sure which (if any) could be the culprit.
After scrolling through many pictures and threads on this forum, I realized that my rear shocks look different from most. I guess the previous owner installed load adjusting rear shocks, because there's a coil spring that surrounds the body. I'll have to clean them off and see what brand.
I thought it was just occasional careless clutch engagements that made the back end want to hop on a slick surface. It is definitely a smoother ride when the bed is loaded down.
I'm pleased with this discovery, as it will be beneficial with the trailers that we tow.
Whoa. Sorry to change the subject, but that's one of the coolest C30s I've ever seen. I'd love to know more about it. (And I love that the truck kinda has a matching color scheme. lol)
No reason to be sorry! It's my build thread and I'm fine with talking about my other builds, especially since those are the builds with things worth talking about.
Speaking of C30s... I bought a parts car and towed it home with my F150. The truck never skipped a beat while towing ~6,000lbs over 300 miles through the Appalachian mountains. I love this truck!
