ok so the excursion is still down at my guys shop. should be done tomorrow. the fuel pump went pretty easy i guess. the exhaust manifold now so much. i had 4 busted ones that had to be delt with. they then sent the manifold off to make sure its totally flat and not warped since i've had this leak for alittle bit. they said it was a good thing i had it done when i did.
so now the only issues my big baby had will be gone and she will be 100%
the bill will hurt alittle but what needs to be done needs to be done.

only bad part was the price lol the pump was $320 shipped from rock auto. ford motorcraft part. then the manifold and pump install was $717 combined so i just dropped $1,037 on her but it was well worth it. lol then i put $140 in gas in it. damnn

I'm in the same boat, I need new tires soon too. I've heard so many good things about the Michelin LTX M/S2's that I really don't want to compromise for anything else. Plus, price wise, they really aren't all that much different. Whichever way, it's still close to $1000.
Got about 50k out of the Bridgestone Dueller Revos I have on there now that the previous owner put on, so the mileage is a rough guess. They were alright, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get them again. And it seems like they cost more than the Michelins.
I can't believe I've put almost 44k on the '02 and I can't believe I've had it for almost five years now!

What mileage do the Michelins get? I hear a lot of people who love them. They are not aggressive enough for what I want, but they seem to be pretty pricey for a street biased tire. The only way I feel they are worth the $$$ is if they get like 100,000 miles out of them. Just my opinion.
