Today is The Monster's Birthday!

It rolled off the assembly line today back in 2005 and now has 220,800 miles.

As a planned, but late birthday present due to time it gets:

-V/B code springs with less than 20K on them

-New Rancho 9000's all the way around (Bilstein and 4 wheel parts pissed me off)

-Dual Stabs (haven't figured out which ones yet)

-New brakes front and rear

-Lube tie rods, ball joints, and wheel bearings.

-Trans flush

-Front and rear diff flush

Went ahead and added valves for my airlift in the back, compressor is shot and I didn't want to buy a new one yet. They're holding perfect with this method, I just roll up to any fuel station and fill them as needed.







Nice work!

What is that tube coming off the cold side cac elbow that turns down into the intake?

I'm guessing it's for a boost gauge.

You bought used filters? And that oil filter cap.... aftermarket along with the filter... good luck with that! The CAC boots look great!

I did u joints on the Ex today. What a nightmare. Some bonehead screwed the slip joint end where the clip goes to hold the cap in.Thank god I did it at my friends shop. We welded it up and machined it................We need to get permits for people to buy tools,some people just aren't meant to work on vehicles.

I'm thankful for people like that. They make me shine! And customers appreciate the work even more and keep coming back.

Glad you were able to salvage it and get it back on the road. It's that much more rewarding.

I got to take the Boy Scouts up to Forestburg Scout Camp Sunday. It's got to make it up there without a hitch. I'll be up there for the week. I cant wait,I was on staff there 38 years ago. Maybe it will bring back some of my youth.

Hi Sparky
Oh gawd no. The truck was used. I'm just trying to get around to fixing their neglect... haha
I actually just got the ford cap a few days ago along with the Motorcraft filter, Oil change is coming this weekend. That cap is hideous, right!? Lol
