My name is Gus... I'm a recovering Ford-a-holic...

Seriously, after 350k miles my 91 F-150 has been a faithful beast of burden and I'll never say anything bad about it but like most Fords it suffers from a split personality complex. Half 'standard'... half 'metric'...

After one week I'm in love with my 99 Durango and I am wondering if I need to double stock my tool box for it like I did my Ford?

I'm sure I'd figure it out over time but why do that when I can just ask you guys.

Thanks

 

Yes you need mm and SAE

 

yes but it isn't as bad as on the Ford.

My son's Explorer was the same as your F150. The D isn't so bad. Only Metric where you might expect it to be.

IndyD

 

Im tearing apart a 79 f250... It's great only having to use one set of tools and a BFH... Axles are going under the D so next tool a step up ima use is a torch, the one true multi-use tool

Now only if i could fit the 400ci engine in a gocart...

 

BFH, you forget that EVERYTHING is a hammer, just that some hammers work better than others

if you try hard enough you can do ANYTHING that you want to

 

Lots of people put 400ci (and bigger) motors in go-carts.. They call them top-fuel dragsters.

 

go karts and big engines. Oh, yea!

 

I basically use Metric, seems to fit just about everything I come across that I need to take apart.

 

Christ 408,your building a bastard child outta that sweet D-ranged=leave that one be and get like a 86 amc eagle for those ford axles=don't laugh those eagles are the predecessors to the grand cherokees an they can wheel with the best unibododies and full frames....Who's got the whippitts my lawn tractor has a need for speed!

 

Hell lets just install a super charged 408 in a sand rail and call it a day!

It really is a fight between a hammer, torch, pliers, or duct tape....... LOL
