Oh hey Skunk, calling out Mods isn't going to win you any friends!
That's okay I was never here to really make friends I just thought I would help a few people by answering questions He can ban me all together and I really wouldn't care. I'm a member of the other f 150 sites where if you ask a question about which direction the primary shaft bearing in your auto transmission should face because you forgot after you took it out you don't get a vague answer like (perhaps you should change the oil otherwise I would take it to a professional)

Nah, I've learned a lot on the 'net, but I've been wrenching on my own vehicles for a long time.

Now, lets keep the manner of posting a little less aggressive, ok?

Like I've stated a couple times already now, take it easy.

Actually Skunk I do about 85% of the work to my truck myself plus my job has me working with tools almost everyday. Stewart and I only met on here about 4 weeks ago when he became the new mod. He is not defending anyone he is just being a good and active mod of the forum. Now i have never said I was expert and I have learned a fair amount from the net but I still get out and work on my truck, my wife's jeep, my old jeep, and any of the homes I am working on too. It all provides experience in one way or another.

It's all good, skunk.

I've been wrenching on my own vehicles for probably 30 years now, but I am far, FAR from an expert.

You have a lot to add to the forum, I'm sure. Let's just correct each other with a little more honey and a lot less vinegar, please.
