i'm fine guys...been down with the flu the past few days it sucked! i missed it last time around but it got me this time. so much for that damn flu shot i got!

the new coils are still working great! in fact i bought another set from the same seller for my '98 expedition.

i had to replace all of my coils as all 10 were corroded beyond repair. $120 for 10 ebay coils that have worked flawlessly was well worth it IMO.


finally getting warmer and melting the snow away, just got in from washing the trucks again. my hands are numb but it was well worth it. close to 50F again today i think.

filled up tonight and to my surprise i'm getting over 10mpg this last tank! unlocking the hubs and the ethanol treatment seem to be helping. i'm pretty happy with that number though.




here was a vid from today also of the tide going out.
