End of July, I had emergency abdominal surgery, a laparotomy. Healed great, even in the hospital without any real painkillers I wasn’t feeling much unless I coughed or laughed. A week later I’m home, still doing great, and decided to hit the grocery store.

Couple miles in the truck and I was hunch-hobbling back into…

You just want that oceanfront property in Arizona, don’t you...

The police do a job, law enforcement.
Some are good at it.
Some aren’t.
Our problem is we seem to be incapable of fixing the latter situation.

Uhhh, no? The 7.3 falls between a 351W and FE engine as far as size goes.

The 6.2 engine is the absolute hoss, as it’s an overhead cam design.

I’m going to lay down my bet as they’ll fiddle with the engine for a while before testing the injectors and discovering the one over the ‘liquid piston’ is just *slightly* constricted, not enough to trip diagnostics but enough to push that one cylinder over it’s heat rejection threshold on a long day of hard runs.

Why?…

Not sure what that has to do with the construction cost, unless you’re referencing the need for buying and accommodating 75 lifeboats of 150 capacity per unit, at probably $90K US for each and it’s stowage/deployment mechanism, plus fluff in rounding, so that’s another 7 million dollars of the total cost.

Time? About…

It’s housing for 9000 people, plus a sewage treatment plant, water plant, couple of restaurants, and an industrial power generation station with some extra motors thrown in... all built to handle getting tossed around in stormy seas.

NP and preserve, cruise occasionally. There aren’t a whole lot of these left... hell, there weren’t a whole lot of these to start with.

I would pull and paint the column to match though. Hopefully they fixed the parking release or linkage issue that overstressed the original and broke it, probably super-difficulty to…

It’s not a red flag on these and Mark Vs as well. The column is made from cast metal parts and there’s a boss that the shift lever mounts to that breaks if the effort needed to get out of park is too high over time. The only fix, to my knowledge, is a replacement column.

*cough*
Back when that was new I made a YT response to folks like you who just couldn’t believe what they saw. Brought out X-frame chassis diagrams and drawings and the whole 9 yards, pointing out things like the ‘09 Malibu was significantly HEAVIER than the base model inline-6 powered Bel Air in the test, how the rust…

A busy freeway can make it’s own air currents, could be he got down to what’s usually ground effect height and discovered a nice breezy vehicle wake tailwind screwed that up badly.

... yeah. Some things are so obvious they go without saying.

I haven’t heard the original story, but somehow this feels like a depression-era invention that was *just* enough above the bar to survive for those who actually liked the flavor combination.

Which also says, probably, the bread was originally thicker, the mayonnaise just a thin smear, and pepper... basically you…

Feels/sounds like AAA simply has bad contact info for a lot of providers in less used areas.

There are going to be trends for that behavior, based on manufacturer/supplier and the vehicle’s history. I had a 1984 Thunderbird that in ~2004 did suffer brittle connector clips, but the vacuum harness and wiring itself was fine. A 1991 dodge shadow at ~15 years had zero plastics issues and OK wiring, but looking at…

Ehh, asides from TFI modules it’s not really like that except for a short period of time around the 00's when manufacturers were forced into lead-free solder. That solder cracks on large connectors, but fixing it is 5 seconds with a soldering iron, and if you add a little 90/10 solder it’s a forever fix.

I’ve done…

No idea how tall the masts are, but if that’s 100' span with 150' clearance then intentionally listing the ship with ballast would get 180' of mast under the bridge, and with enough tugs a ‘swoop’ motion could be accomplished to tip a taller mast backwards as the ship rotates and is shoved past the bridge sideways....

Absolutely, grab the 2015. Just expect it to be... more complex.

Newer old Taurii with the 3.0 Vulcan are one of those combinations that won’t excite anyone, but will “survive”.

One of the weird things about cars over 20 years old is that, unless you find the odd low-mileage ringer (which should be avoided for other…

Head gaskets are a 3.8L problem, packaging constraints lead to the rear cylinder head getting and staying warmer than the rest of the engine, causing the older non-MLS head gaskets to degrade.

*Are* in use.
