K&N airfilters are bad news man, good oil is only 20$ a gallon. i love motorcraft oil filters its all i will use in fords pretty much. them orange ones are really bad filters fram is their name.

i'm very happy with both my K&N air filters and oil filters...as we were discussing oil filters.
i paid $23.99 for the 5 gal jugs each of the penzoil. the mobile-1 is about the same price but i could not find the correct 5-20 i needed or i would have gotton that.
i'll stick with what works for me

u better be good about oiling that k&n, nothing beats a paper filter for good air cleaning.

well ofcourse i talked about putting the summer tires on and what do i wake up to? about 4-5" of wet snow! made me happy though i wanted to do more plowing before the season was over. we still have another month or so of possible snow so it aint over yet!
ofcourse my wash job from yesterday was shot...nasty slush! yuck.
heres just ONE of my snow piles in my driveway from this season. gonna take awhile for that too melt!

well my lift blocks should be in on monday.
i finally settled my lost wage/injury claim from the big wreck back in october. that felt great to have that done with. i think it was a very fair deal all around. i'm happy.
