- '99 XLT 4.0L SOHC V6
So I let my brother borrow the '99 XLT for pizza deliveries and explained to him that if the check gage light comes on, you are probably running out of gas. He's out on delivery one night and calls me, "Yo, are you having engine problems? It sounds like it's so close to starting but just won't..." Me freaking out I immediately jump to the conclusion something happened with the timing chain; it is an SOHC with decent mileage after all. After I calm down and regain my senses I ask how much fuel he's got.
"Oh, well I got some not too long ago..."
"Was the check gage light on?"
"Yeah..."
"I think you ran it out of gas, dude."
He then seriously asked, "What?? You can't go past the E at all in this car?"
I suppose it gets the best of us but I can't help but die laughing over this. The truck is doing fine now, but any chance he shortened the life of my fuel pump/filter after trying to start it a bajillion times?
P.S. ordered at that pizza joint one time and I see him whip my '99 around the corner like you wouldn't believe. Cringing for my front end....
