Installed a new fuel filter and finished wiring up my GlowShift transmission temp gauge.

 

Oh, and I ordered a set of Hawk LTS front pads. Front brake job on Tuesday!

 

hope it goes better then mine is going...been on jackstands since sat. waiting on caliper brackets and slide pins. they were rusted/froze up. so make sure to grease them!!

 

I had 4 new ball joints installed (Moog), vacuum lines for the 4wd and new hub seals.... had the shop do it since I work 72 hours a week and attempting ball joint in the driveway... well nah.... not fun at all.

 

I prayed for it.

IGot home from work to discover my wife's Taurus in the driveway and the Ex gone.

Turns out my 5'4" 115# wife decided that the dead A/C on her Taurus was more than she could take so she ventured out in the Excursion for the first time.

I'm really not too worried about her. She's got 4 tons of steel around her. But the poor, misguided fool in traffic that gets in her way could be in serious trouble!!!

 

Good luck!! It's usually just the tow mirrors that go!

 

Today I replaced my rancho steering damper with a new 5100 series Bilstein... Damn they are really nice looking.

PS. The Bilstein is a bit smoother.

 

I am thinking about dating a girl with 4 kids, I guess the EX was a great choice but I should not have ditched the 3rd row seat especially when i want two more kids!

 

The X is a great blended family truckster. Combined we have five kids. No more on the way, double knots on both sides for us!

 

DON'T DO IT !!!

With 4 kids to take care of, how can she possibly have any time for you?

 

So true...

 

Helped ( WATCHED ) my buddy replace front calipers with new ones from Napa. New front power slot cryo rotors, new front Hawk SD brake pads, bled and replaced fluid. Oil change and replace with Mobil 1 full synthetic High Mileage. Trans fluid and filter change. Next is plugs and coils, replace multi function switch and clock spring so wipers and cruise will work.

 

Turned my steering box screw in 3/4 of a turn.

 

What is this steering box mod I keep seeing?

I used two ratchets with 2 feet of extensions on each. One with a 3/16" allen head and the other with a 5/8" crows foot.
