1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

You really think it’s junk?

 

5vz are unreliable as hell

 

They kinda remind me of the Buick 3800 and those are solid. I was talking about mine in particular cause of the metal shards on the magnetic drain plug though.

 

Quit off-roading sooo hard

 

I'll sell you one wrapped in a raisin

 

I just bought another truck I didn't really need, I'm over my quota for the year.

 

I dunno, my magnet doesn't usually look like 300k mi differential's second oil change. Could be fine though, never know what's at the bottom of a pan until you clean it. Mine was pretty clean when I just had it off but I did find some plastic in the pan from something. I just want a 5VZ block and heads, everything else I plan to replace.

 

Not having a wheeler, I'll have a 5VZ to rebuild so there's that

 

Neither one of my 280k trucks ever looked like that

 

It’s not knocking

 

Then how will you ever get a copy of The Watchtower?

 

Wait that pic a page or two back was your engine drain plug? I thought that was your differential dayum

I've never seen metal on either of my 5vze drain plugs..

 

Not to scare you cause as mentioned, it could be nothing...but neither of my 5VZ's looked like that.

Neither did the 1FZ.

 

Now you've done it

 

What are you talking about?

 

Yeah how is that Ford doing anyway?

 

Well...I haz no wheeler

But James is dropping off a 5VZ when he comes by to visit so I'll have a side project

 

Haven't even gone to pick it up yet. I know what it needs though and then I'll probably drive it for a minute to do some house work since my truck really isn't much of a truck anymore.

 

No jokes here

 

Ah okay. There's a 5VZ a town over for $200... Maybe I'll see if I just pick it myself and do all them loading if he will let me have it for $20 and rack of beer
