I was thinking it might be for the hookers in the evenings after the rebuild.

Let's see, for that $50,000 kitchen, I hire Justin, Curtis, Chad, and Clint to do the work. I spend $5000 on materials, $5,000 on appliances and pay the hired help $1000 each to do the work. I pocket $36,000 to "supervise" the job. Works for me.

Put some new exhaust on my 78 f250 , 400. It had some 40 series flowmasters on it that had some blown out holes in them. Replaced them with some glasspacks from summit. I dont really care for the way it sounds now. Probably gonna go back to some flo pro knock off flowmasters

I bought some dynomax race bullets from summit racing to put on my truck. I think they'd sound good, but don't know if I could put up with them every day. The magnaflows I have now are just almost too quiet.

I replaced the tonneau cover on the SD yesterday with a newer one that I picked up cheap on craigslist. The old one's cover with starting to peel and I got the new one for about the same price as replacing the cover on the old one. The old one was an Extang with snaps and bows. The new one is flat and looks nicer.

I noticed the A/C was not blowing cold on the truck. I went to Oreilly's and picked up some freon with a gauge. I had one, but I think I gave it away. The gauge showed that it was full and should have been working well. I suspicion it might be a blend door issue.

If your truck is like my SD, there is hot water flowing through the heater all the time. The blend door closes, but doesn't usually completely seal. It reduces the efficiency of the AC. There is a mod many folks do that involves putting in a bypass valve from a Ranger. You might do a search on the F150 forum for information on your truck. I have a copy of the mod information with part numbers for my truck. In the past I just put in a manual shut of in one of the heater hoses and close it off by had in the summer.

Well I cleaned the company logo off of one side of the truck- still have to do the other-- but the heat and having to run to the store for more goo gone had me quit.

I used WD 40 and a heat gun on the Jeep with a rubber squeegee. It worked great.


I priced the local exhaust shop for adding pipes out the back of my f150, to get rid of some of the cab noise. he said $150. I think that is a price I can live with. Now just to see if I have that amount left over after my truck payment and insurance.
