Yeah, it was tested about a month ago. Passed though. They probably just charged it and gave it back. What ever, now I don't have money for a new one so I have to get a used reman. Hopefully I can keep from spending to much money until after February. I have to pay property taxes January.

Boxing Day sales. Most stuff marked down. It's our "Black Friday" of sorts.

There's plenty leftover, but you and Bob gotta come and get it. I don't think it would be very good if I mailed it to you.

Wow the 5.4L is definately a trooper. Was on the freeway pulling a trailer with the SES light flashing and as I get to my exit slow down it just fine. Wow, I need to fix it. LOL

Missfire cylinder 3 &7. Random misfire. It needs new coils. There's no more rubber to keep moisture out. I need to remove them and dry rhem off or replacs them all for $400

How about using a lot of dielectric grease?

Cheap and effective.

Yeah that's what I'm going to do. Dielectric greass at the bottom and grey silicone at the top. Maybe this time I can keep the moisture out.
