Back in the Mud
« on: July 10, 2013, 11:50:50 pm »
My mudder has been parked since 2008 . Blew the 355 BADLY . Last Friday with the help and encouragement of my boys we drug it out of the horse weeds and stuck a bone stock 305 in it .

With in 12 hours it was making noise . Neighbor had a pit party the next day . My oldest boy has a bronco so we have our own family style ford Vs Chevy deal going on . I did manger to beat him 3 out of 3 times :)

84 3/4 ton , 205 /350 turbo , 14 bolt rear , dana 44 front .

Years ago when me and a bunch of buddies used to go out and do some hard 44 wheeling i would go home and take a sprinkler(the one that rotates back and forth with the water being sprayed up) and set it under my truck and let it run for a while....after a while all most of the mud would fall off....then i would take the mud and fillholes around my yard...when it dried it was dirt and leveled my yard :)

I tried that for a while but was just to much at one time , Living in the sticks I just picked a spot beside the garage and cleaned then wheel barrowed it to the ditch across the road . From 2006 to the downturn it was every weekend at a mud run . The amount of mud I drug home on the truck and trailer was an eye opener
