    great content- not everyone wants a 60K truck, things are out of control today. Subscribed. I was watching your videos in the canyon anyway.

    Welcome to the ford fam. Those engine will run for ever. I got more than 350k miles on my original engine. They slow but they work.

      I’ll be hitting you up for parts soon 😂

    I’ve got this motor in a 1978 f150 4x4 with 37s. The problem motor is the 3 valve. Some advise is look in the fuse block under the hood. There is a little blue or purple fuse. Can’t remember off hand. Get a few extra and keep ‘em with you. I had that fuse blow and it went into some type of limp mode. The code will say something about transmission. Took “days” to figure it out.

      Good advice thank you! I’ll look into that 👏🏻

    Sold a 99 V10 not to long ago. Wish I still had it. Before you tow anything check the date code on those tires!

    Definitely happy to see you join the Ford Crew with tow pig, can't wait to do a comparison between your Apple and my orange. Truck name yeti

    • @66Duffman

      I’m down for a comparison 🔥🔥🔥

    One note: you need to securely mount the trailer brake controller. It has a sensor that detects how much you are braking, not just brake on or off. I think if that thing moves around you could get a false signal to engage trailer brakes.

    Decent deal now. Kicking myself for not buying a low mileage 2wd 7.3 powerstroke for like 4500 5 years ago haha

    • @66Duffman
      @66Duffman  ปีที่แล้ว

      I can definitely relate with these prices 😂

  • @dakotavalentine8877
    @dakotavalentine8877 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Should have gotten a 7.3 wt it’d haul much better and last far longer then the triton

    • @66Duffman
      @66Duffman  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I will eventually…I came across this one at a good deal and it works for now

    • @66Duffman
      @66Duffman  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sure is haha

    Not bad motors. They just like to launch sparkplugs out of the engine, through the oil packs. But because of the age and mileage of yours, you probably have 8 helicoiled plugs already haha.

    • @66Duffman
      @66Duffman  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yup my stuffs been updated…trucks running solid so far hopefully no issues with spark plugs 😂

    Congratulations on growing up a little. 🤣 I tow with a 94 Dodge Dakota with the v8. Works awesome. I put a shell on it and it's also my motorhome. 🤣🤣👍

    • @66Duffman
      @66Duffman  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I feel like a big boy now 😂 was thinking about a shell too but just didn’t work out as planned

      No, not what you’re thinking.

    There you go! But towing your Overland vehicle, something just isn't right about that statement? 🤔 You might start a new trend 😆 I've been looking into older 4x4 Tow Trucks, it's funny, an old Square Chevy or Ford, the price is out of control but put a tow bed on it and $5500 I'm not a huge fan of the 5.4 but you got GBW so she'll run!

    Good choice going with a gas f250 for your use.

    Get some xlt or lariat door panels with extra storage at bottom

    Tacoma is looking better already, without all that crap in in the back and give yourself some credit D , you're a handy mother trucker!

    • @frankfilippone9679
      @frankfilippone9679 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Dirtnation Offroad it is , I've known a few people who did the 4wd conversion, she'll be a beast tow rig

  • @frankfilippone9679

    Could have gotten a slightly older 7.5L truck that tows way better.

    No content. You didn't really do anything. Anyone can buy a beater with high miles for cheap.
