Hi folks, Long time no see....I guess that's what happens when you don't have internet at your house anymore.

My Bob has a serious problem. This all started a few months ago...whenever I'd take a long trip, towards the end of the trip the engine would start sputtering for no apparent reason. Sort of acting like it had a fuel issue or something. The I realized by accident that if you turned the key off and then on again it sort of reset and would run fine for a while. That went on for about a month...but I didn't drive the truck much, only short distances mostly.

Here recently it's gotten much worse. We managed to fix my 4-wheel drive after owning the truck for almost a year. It turned out to be a vac line that basically deteriorated in my hand. I replaced all the vac lines and that did the trick. Anyway it's been bogging down on very short distances now, too, and every now and again it seems like my 4-WD engages while I'm going down the road! Makes a terrible sound too. Then the other day alot of the electrical in my truck stopped working. The lights still work okay, but my radio isn't working and my 4-wd button isn't working either. There could be more than that but so far it's all I've noticed. I've been borrowing my friends Explorer for the time being (Ugh, Ford, I know....) and haven't touched Bob in several days. I really need to figure this junk out since no only can I not stand driving a Ford for much longer, but my friend is gonna need his truck back before too long. So anybody have any ideas for me?

I don't get on here much anymore but if anybody has any ideas for me I've got to run some errands in town the next few days....I sure would appreciate it!
