I have a 5.4 in a lincoln navigator and I like it a lot. Has a lot of power and runs very quiet. Mileage is about 15 mpg for every day driving. It will get 18 mpg if you are on a steady 60 mph trip though. Has a lot of room for a lot of people and is very comfortable and large inside. I think it is actually one of the most practical vehicals I have owned believe it or not. It is hard to find something that will do everything well. I have a F-350 4x4 if I want to haul stuff in a 8 foot box but it is regular cab so it wont haul more than two people and myself, uncomfortably I might add. That gets about 12 mpg. I don't think extended cab pickups are worth a hoot either. Just enough room back there for a couple of small kids or a dog. The four door pickups are ok but the box is so small that is not too cool either. They do not have as much rear seating area as my Navigator either. Not even close. My friend came over in his new HD Chevy 4 door the other day and had two friends with him that were sitting in the back and their knees were in their chest to sit back there. Not a lot of room for larger people. So if you want a truck that can haul people you just about need a 4 door with a 8 foot box and they are huge! If I wanted to do a lot of people hauling I would get a full size SUV and pull a trailer for cargo hauling. Bottom line is pickups and not people haulers, and suv's are not cargo haulers. You have to make a choice. Good luck.

Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
