The D.

The D.
So as most know I bought a 97 CCLB 7.3 back in December, well its been nothing but a pain in the A. I call it 'The Diesel' or 'The D' for short. lol
Basically I owned it for a few months then the transmission started going nuts so I started replacing parts hoping it wasnt the transmission.
Parts replaced:
Gear selector/indicator
ICP
Fuel Lines
IPR
Fuel Filter
Batteries
Glow Plugs
Hood
Rear Bumper
Front Bumper
Rear ABS sensor
Wheel Cylinders
PanHard
Steering Box
PCM
ICP again
Fuel Pump
Fuel Lines again
CPS
Belt Tensioner
lockout hubs
tailgate
Several items are just cosmetic but so many issues with it running right and a big headache!
Im sure there is more and the wife was ready to kill me because it still wasnt running right. Bought this tonight, Hope to fix this truck, at least one issue. lol Im kind of excited about it. It was one thing I wanted when I was buying but couldnt find the right config.

No I sold it. That was a bad buy from the start. Actually to be honest my luck with Fords has been terrible for the last few years. lol OR maybe I have bad choices? idk for sure.
It was rusting like no other and i decided to get aaway from it before it was really bad.

Most all 6.4 parts are dealer only! I hated that. lol
It was really just the cab corners, i was pressure washing it one day and it just blew a hole in the cab, i was like what the heck. I got looking into it more the metal was so thin there. Plus it was burning oil.

At first it was a lot different. Now its not to bad driving. Parking on the other hand can be difficult. I think the hardest thing I have trouble with is backing a trailer up. It takes a different amount of time to make the trailer react with a large truck compared to before. Im getting used to it all tho.
