Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Reading your posts ...when you mention stuff like that is very interesting from my standpoint. We have none of that fun around here.

If you get bored...youtube seed corn harvest. They harvest it on the cob instead of off like commercial corn. It's pretty cool.

I always thought they were 2-strokes, they just mixed the oil for you.

It was pretty crazy... and then there was that one or two times I was billowing black smoke from the exhaust.

Eff that pos, sold it fast

Not sure where the idler(s) are on that year, but it could be as easy as a shorter belt.

Ford did use them right up to '97, something like every 10th truck (joke). They probably had to clean up the old inventory. LOL

Got my HID's working again, been over a year since the High beams were working. Rerun the relay wires and it all works now. Just noticed one of the relay's does not have as heavy a guage wire as the other one does and so it gets very warm to the touch. Tempted to get a stronger relay to deal with that issue. Mind you I don't use my HID's very often. I only have them for the fog and highs.

Got these two in the mail today. Wonder what they could be...

What is it, I like surprises. By judging from the box, I have no idea.

^goodness in those boxes I am sure.

Adjusted the headlight and turn signal. There was a gap under the pass side headlight and turn signal. It really was staring to bug me.


Before


After



I am happy with the fitment now.

Goodness indeed

I have like 4 headlights just laying around, 2 brand new ones in un-opended boxes. But I rarely drive my car anymore.

Those would look cool on my car. =)

Did you get 5K bulbs Navy? That is what I got and I love them. Just have to install 5K's in the fogs now.

5k is such a nice pure white

Thats what I got, can't wait to get them on the car. And I agree, the fogs need the same mod. It would look weird with yellow looking fogs (in comparison)

Also I have an extra set of turn signal housings, I'm gonna make those gloss black on the inside to match the retro headlight housings being black. I assume it will be okay and the turn signals would light up enough. If not I can get brighter led turn signals.

I removed the headlight and turn signal. There is a black housing that I adjusted with a few washers. Seems to have done the trick.

Serpentine Belt routing changed with the body style, 1992. 1992 is when they changed over to the 3G alternator and since they put out more amperage they need more grip from the belt so they put that extra idler in there for more belt contact. They used those mirrors under special order, from what I read. Since obviously they're stronger. If I'm not over here I'm at FSB and I'm a moderator at FTC. Before I got my GP, my truck was my baby. I guess it still should be.

Car told me it was low on brake fluid. Weird. I have some at the house so I guess I'll fill it up this weekend

Usually that means you need new pads/rotors
