great content- not everyone wants a 60K truck, things are out of control today. Subscribed. I was watching your videos in the canyon anyway.
Appreciate it 🙌🏻 welcome to the channel
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 😂
Those first gen 2 valve tritons from 99-04 were extremely solid motors, very underrated
Congrats on your new tow rig Ford power
Tent is a smart idea
If the tent is rocking don’t come knocking
Bahaha 🤣 thanks sir 🙏🏻
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
I’m down for a comparison 🔥🔥🔥
Nice find, i have a very similar '02. When it shoots a spark plug through the coil pack get the Cal-Van 38900 kit to repair the head. Heli coils won't solve the underlying issue.
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.
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!
Will do 🤣
you need to add another board across under the tent closest you can get to the ladder that flex when you go in & out of tent and if you wanna get crazy then run a board down the center front to tailgate angle under all the boards going bedside to bedside and from that board run 1 or 2 from under the one to the bed floor then you'll be solid
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. 🤣🤣👍
I feel like a big boy now 😂 was thinking about a shell too but just didn’t work out as planned
Having AC is priceless!
Sure is haha
Decent deal now. Kicking myself for not buying a low mileage 2wd 7.3 powerstroke for like 4500 5 years ago haha
I can definitely relate with these prices 😂
Muy bien, muy bien. Marticon approves. Looking forward to what happens to it. Im a Ford guy anyways.
Marticon 🤔
No, not what you’re thinking.
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.
Yup my stuffs been updated…trucks running solid so far hopefully no issues with spark plugs 😂
Do you still have this truck? Im a truck guy so i went looking for more videos but didnt find any lol
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!
Just doing my best 💯

Good choice going with a gas f250 for your use.
🙌🏻🔥
Get some xlt or lariat door panels with extra storage at bottom
Name the Tow Pig "Billy"
Most tow truck drivers i encountered is named "Billy" lol
😂
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!
Should have gotten a 7.3 wt it’d haul much better and last far longer then the triton
I will eventually…I came across this one at a good deal and it works for now
This time it all bolts in
Yessir looks pretty straight forward 🔥
@Dirtnation Offroad it is , I've known a few people who did the 4wd conversion, she'll be a beast tow rig
4x4 conversion with a duellie
🔥🔥🔥
Good.truck
I think you already named it “TowPig”.
True 😂
Keep it original......Paloma! 🤣🤣
Original 4x4 😂🐽
2 words: Cummins swap!
🔥🔥🔥
Could have gotten a slightly older 7.5L truck that tows way better.
Skunka
2nd!
🙌🏻

Oink oink 🐽
No content. You didn't really do anything. Anyone can buy a beater with high miles for cheap.
Glad you enjoyed 👏🏻
