Drove the fwonk outta it on an emergency call a little while ago.

A good friend of mine, also a ham operator, was on the radio and started having a serious allergic reaction to the sweetener that was in his coffee. He's a disabled vet, and lives out in the boonies (and he's also a fairly new TMC member as well) so I figured the fastest way to get help to him was for me to drive over there with an eppistick and some anti-histamines. Had the truck going flat out on I-95 heading down to his place. Foot to the floor and no more revs to be found, and lit up like a Christmas tree.

Got there before it got really serious (I was worried about anaphylactic shock), got the anti-histamines into him and he started recovering within 10-15 minutes.

You're a good friend Bernie :thumbs:

Started my grey truck so the battery wont die.

Did that yesterday and got locked out :fume:
I saw that. Its happened to me in the Bronco at least twice in the past month. One time I was lucky and had left the rear window down. The last time I used some other ford keys to brake in.

I have directions to disable the auto lock. Just need to find it. :uhoh:
My 99 only auto locks when all the doors are closed and you put it in drive or reverse. Do you have an aftermarket alarm? That's how the Bronco locks me out.

It's all factory, but it's always locked randomly.
