I'll be sure to take good care of her! I do have a few questions for you, or anyone for that matter. First of all I am aware that the compression in #3 cylinder is low, like 65psi vs 85-100 in the others. It was determened that the culpret is the #3 exhaust valve. With 155k miles on her she runs fine, mabey a little under powered due to this problem, but fine none the less. How long do you think I have to live doc? -James | ||

TexWagen Veteran Date registered: May 2006 Location: Houston, Texas Vehicle(s): 2003 G500 Posts: 115 | Re: Newbie G owner That is so cool. I can only imagine how I would feel if someone contacted me with follow-up on a vehicle that I had 20 years ago. Of course, Gs are FAR less common than Ford dually pickup trucks (and a G is FAR more likely to still be running). Congrats to the new owner. | ||

Of course, Gs are FAR less common than Ford dually pickup trucks (and a G is FAR more likely to still be running). Congrats to the new owner. What's even cooler was to see the truck in Europa's parking lot and meet the current (at that time) owner. I was at Europa to get a windshield installed on my G500, and he was in for routine service. Small world! | ||
