Just got in from another camping trip this summer. X performed flawlessly like always! While at the campgound I noticed another 02 7.3 X driving around with one of those 05 grills installed and exhaust. I gave him the thumbs up.





Caught lots of these too. Have two nice bags of fish for fridays.

I hate you for this picture I fuel up, and I am lucky if my Lie-o-meter says I am going to get 550 miles...

Glad your Ex is running well, stay safe out there.

Guess what I did today... Getting that dang thing out took forever







All the carbon was bone dry, the wetness you see was my shooting a little lube in there, as the dang thing did not want to come out no matter what I did. Frustrating is an understatement.

I'd ground that wire anyway. The harness might have it in case a rig came with a factory-installed amp.

My rental car does 9 mpg at best in city. I'm taking the wife into NYC for dinner tonight.
I love vacations! Here's a pic of a park in Rye that I use to play baseball now it's setup for soccer, what's the world becoming?

This wasn't done all in one day:

1) Bought 2001 Excursion for $5200, it's a V-10 4X2 with 168k miles on 7/15/2014
2) Fixed Viper auto-start/alarm by taking it to the stereo shop. They unplugged a malfunctioning proximity sensor.
3) Went to junk yard to find new cruise control steering wheel switches.
4) Installed said steering wheel switches. Fixed the cruise control. (Temporarily)
5) Today: Fixed dome light permanently staying on until 18mph was reached. Easily fixed by unplugging rear hatch door open sensors. FREE FIX!!! (Thanks Apocalypse!)
6) Today: Ordered SW-6350 Cruise Control Cutout Brake Repair Kit from eBay. This will be the permanent cruise control fix.

Future fixes:
7) Weather stripping around bottom of doors.
8) Repair leather on front passenger seat and middle row arm rest.
9) Rear view mirror needs to be replaced.
10) CD player does not play CD's, needs a Pioneer 7" DVD player, of course!
11) Rear DVD player needs to be sent in to the shop.
12) Transmission might need some work done, starting to slip slightly during shifts.

Now wondering, who cares about all this, haha.

Put the top up you'll get better mileage.

Enjoy your time, my friend.
