How do you transport your tractor & batwing bush hog?

BELIEVE ME....if I could I would. I couldn't find a 5500 4x4 with the packages I needed nearly as cheap as the Ford.

Hopefully after this t-stat gets changed and the other things I've done, it'll be more reliable.

My 7.3powerjoke is still in the shop,so I went and bought me a new cummins...

Glad u have warrenty!!!

UPDATE: Just got phone with Ford service. As I posted previously, truck needs a thermostat and upper rad hose. Good news is the T-stat is covered, rad hose is not, but is only $35.
But there's bad news, too: Low pressure fuel pump took a dump. Not covered under warranty $469. Ouch.
I think I got me a lemon.

a thermostat coded? was it stuck open and running cool or something?

 

[Soundguy]

sorry about that/. figured there had to be more than a thermostat causing a power drop.

different forum.. but..

BRAND BASHING

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We ask that anyone posting in the Trailers & Transportation forums refrain from brand bashing with terms such as Durajunk, Powerchoke, etc... It is not acceptable in the tractor brand forums and, as such, is not acceptable here, either. Thank you.

I'm beginning to realize I have a 6.4L "powerjoke". LOL
:laughing:
Is it against the sacred "rules" to make fun of your own truck? I know it is OK to slander dealers publicly, publish their phone numbers and make racial remarks about their employees, so it must be OK to make fun of my own truck!!! Heck, I've been slandered by other members here, so I better be able to slander my own truck.

Yeah,I figure if its mine I can talk about it.Not everything is going to be positive.I did buy the truck used,so cant really say much.Dont know how the owner before me took care of it. It will cost me around 5grand when everything is done,but I will keep her around.
