man i loved it in sask, didnt have to pass a safety to insure it, could pick up a truck for 600 bucks that barely ran, get a few buddies together to all get their own and you can have your own game of bumper cars in the parking lots! (true story).....................defrosted an iced up blazer today

W. the spark plug behind the steering shaft; remove the front steer tire and remove it from the wheel well, works a little easier

well, this was during the last few days............actually haven't driven the truck today.

replaced the rad for a second time Thursday. damn lower trans line fitting was buggered. no prolems since Thursday afternoon.

also, tore off one of my hitch lights traversing through a ditch & field, to pull a 1 ton back onto the road found out you can drag it up a 30-35* incline with a locked up diff.

really need to get my relocation done on those lights.

My dad has yet to fill his 08 F150. $120 doesn't even do it.

As for me. Drove a thought alot! Tried to pinpoint my "no *****" problem. And tried recreating it over and over. I can't, I just either get it running great or stumble and fall on its face. Never the same outcome. Used to be bad on hills, now great. Had o drive like a granny to get anywhere, now It depends on how it feels. It really irritating me because it usually happens when I need the power. I'm afraid to go on the highway. Got the codes read and I have O2 heater circuit bank 1 sensor 2, and good ole' random misfire. Chris mentioned TPS, but can that be intermittent? Like I have full throttle range sometimes but then others I give it half and it SLOWLY creeps up to about 2000 rpm and then jumps instantly to about 3000 and takes off.

I'm lost, but I'm glad my job is kinda close and no highways.
