Moving Trucks

[Eye of the Tiger]

Give me some time, I'll find one for less than $6000.

<$2000, running, highway worthy, able to tow.

Hmmm.

Nope, can't do that.

That's why I'm looking at F-150's, Dakotas, and Chebbys.

Some sort of 3 axle military transport truck is on my future vehicles list.

What is this six-cylinder tomfoolery? Trucks require vee ates and testicles.

WORD!!!!!

[Eye of the Tiger]

Werd? Naw. I drive 6-cylinder trucks that haul 80,000 pounds.

That sounds adequate.

Adequacy is un-American.

Looking to go back to South Carolina for one reason or another.




And you guys are no help. Nobody likes the 460 Ford? That thing is a torque monster.... and a gas hog, but w/e.
I'm still leaning V6 Dakota.

I had a 5.2 Dakota for a year. I also had driven around the 3.9 for a week. I didn't find the mileage different between the two very much at all. You may as well get the 5.2 litre. Both were mechanically sound at the time.

This is good info. I know the V6 gets horrible mileage because I used to drive one for work. It had over 300,000 miles on the original motor. The V8, of course, has 50 more horsepowers, and still gets horrible mileage. I suppose I could go with either one. I'm not sure the V8 was available with a manual trans, though.

The more I think, the more I think I want a biggo Ford 460.

Own an oill well, do you?       Those things can't pass a gas station.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

My "Little" 5 liter was hell on gas! It would suck both tanks dry in 350 freeway miles!

[Eye of the Tiger]

I know, but 390 torques! And blub blub blub blub....

It's a terrible choice. You should definitely do it.

[giant_mtb]

something with a 4.3

[MX793]

Blah! I'll take the 5 Liter!

The I6 was a 5 liter (well, 4.9L/300CI...)

[omicron]

Today I saw an F-something or other with 460 badges on the fender. It sounded like steak should. You ought to buy one.

[Secret Chimp]

460 economy is so bad it'd be a liability out in the middle of nowhere.

IIRC, most 460 equipped F-series trucks had the dual fuel tanks with some ridiculous amount of capacity.

Doesn't help your wallet any, but it did have the range.

The fuel still goes in, it just blows straight out the tailpipe instead of getting burned and generating power.

Bullshit, asshole.

Okay, remove the rocker arms and pushrods  for those cylinders as well...

[Soup DeVille]

Bullshit, asshole.

Right, some of that fuel will also go right out the sparkplug hole...

This may help.

I would love to see a CAD model of a DEI manifold.

Now you're onto something....

Seems a little inconvienient though.
