Why do people insist on making the simplest job difficult? https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...questions.html

Some people have nothing better to do then make it difficult! I did just like you suggested. Drill then tap then install egt probe and start truck up and move onto the rest of the project. Pretty simple!

I have no recommendation I guess Troy. It's been forever since I looked into those. Spend as much as possible in my book.

I've heard that the sound bars with the wireless subwoofer work nicely. My friend Steve is happy with his.

I for surely have Sacroiliitis. Which has to do with your SI joint, and is part of your back. It's at the very bottom of the back and is imflammed and creating major pressure in my back and hips. It's pushing on my Sciatic Nerves in my legs and causing pain throughout my whole body. Even my skin feels like it's sunburnt and can hardly be touched. Now it's about figuring out if it's mechanical reasons, or not. Then how bad and what can be done about it. If anything...

So, it's a good thing there is no snow. Not gonna be sledding anytime soon. Not lifting, or working on cars, or anything for that matter. If I'm lucky and it's a minor problem I'll have some physical therapy and recovery time then be back to normal but with restrictions on what I can do...

Yay!!!
Holy crap Dave!! I hope it's just something that PT can resolve. We don't need Goldy Jr. around here.

Because they excel SOO WELL at it. I work with lots of them. The more complicated the better.

Go BIG or go home. You did the truck right ... don't wuss out on the surround sound.

I grew up in movie theaters, so my standards are a bit higher. My speakers literally came out of one of the theaters that got remodeled. They are big, but dang do they sound nice.
