1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I’ve heard bad things about the 3.5 TT in the F150s. The 5.0 models are pretty reliable though if you get one from the non oil-burning years I think.

Way I figure is thats its rated 300 stock as it sits and I don't really care about more than that for a short wheelbase truck with a 10 speed. Might drive it and hate it, but at least I can satisfy the curiosity.

 

Mean while the breakers at work trip with 2 grinders running on them

 

Ouch

The garage comes with a 110 on its own dedicated 20 amp breaker, we paid the extra to have another 110 on its own 20 amp breaker as well and it's worked great since my compressor works on one, and I hook up the bandsaw or other power hog tool to the other

The bandsaw could do fine even on a shared circuit, it's just nice having that extra in case I need it

The welder or plasma cutter runs on a 230 I ran to a 50 amp double pole breaker; that one I ran and installed myself so it shares its circuit with nothing else

 

I do need to run an extension cord, or simply install another 230

I hate playing musical chairs with that outlet when I go from plasma cutter to welder and back

Bought Palworld to try it out; apparently supports co-op

 

So every time I see gameplay footage of Pal World I just get more confused. Guns, slavery, open world, real time (Pal?) battles, etc. Wild stuff.

 

I've had Ark on my wishlist for awhile

Few reviews basically put this above that game so for only $30, why not?

Easy to run too; we'll see how it plays as I can put in a few hours into it tonight

 

Eh. I'll wait until Ark is polished up (it's got tons of bugs and isn't optimized for crap apparently).

 

Mines fine - 3.5

 

If ford got the valve issue figured out, which I think they did, I would go for the 2.7. It’s a dead nuts reliable motor in the f150s. The 2.3 feels too small in explorers, I can’t imagine it in a bronco. Meanwhile the 2.7s have plenty of oomph for the f150s.

 

3.5s post 2020 seem to be fine. Only took them almost 10 years to get the cam phasers sorted out.

 

Too mysterious of a past for me. I bet they have all of 3k in it.

 

It would be fun if someone else maintained it. I suspect it has a sordid past like the LC80.

 

The ones I've been on the trail with are quite capable. I would love to drive one with turn assist through switchbacks in the San Juan Mountains.
