Bleh. Getting tired of rain.

Anyone ever swapped leaf springs on a SD?

Coffee's on!

Don't know if it counts, but I've put F-250 leaf springs on a F-150.

I hope not, I still need to take my entire front end apart, plow frame, bumper/grill, lube the n/s wheel bearings, rebuild the 4x4 hubs, swap the leaf springs, lube the slide pins, oil change, coolant flush/change, 203*TS&billet housing, fuel filter, air filter, oil filter.

Oh, and install some air bags on the front end.

In less than a month.

I need to get to work, lol.

Have a good night all!

Well, finally broke down and purchased an Amsoil "Preferred Customer" membership. Called NAPA to get some oil.... he wanted $155-ish for 4 gallons of the Amsoil 15/40. I gave him hell, because a few months ago it was only $122 for it. He could have cared less.

So, Ordered and Shipped from Amsoil it's going to be ~$135 shipped.

On a side note, at a little over 8,000 miles on the oil, it's finally black, lol. Took this pick at 6,887 miles on the oil, lots of "gold color" in it. I also have that HUGE
"Donaldson ELF7405" filter coming in. Should work a lot better than the WIX filter I have been using.

If anyone want an AMSOIL quote PM me.
