New emblems all the way around (from Tousley Ford). Gave her a hand washing and put her to bed for the evening.

 

Blue Spring upgrade, new fuel filters, and a new air filter. (Anyone hear of "power Core P603577", that's what was in it) Filled it with fuel.

(A thanks to Cheezit for help today!)

 

Added spot mirrors, C-Betrs.

 

CCV MOD. DONE !

I put new take off 2012 chrome running boards on my 2006 yesterday, they look great....

 

Tire rotation, oil change, fuel filters, cooling system flush, and blue spring mod. Tomorrow I'm going to chase down a pesky little insignifagant almost not there but bugs hell out of me vibration at 45 to 50 MPH.

 

Whew...Sounds like in the very least a 6 pack afternoon, that darn Flush takes most of the day itself (annoying)

 

Replace the u-joints in the rear drive line.
It's been one PITA I got all the old ones out.
Turns out that the parts book at the part store is wrong
I don't use three different ones. I use three of the same one.
Oh well I got one in have to wait till day time when the parts
store opens.
Rust is not your friend. 1 broken nut clip on the carrier bearing
stuck clips and caps. I need a 10 ton press to get them out
with any ease. But all I have is a ball joint press. Yes it helps
but is still too much work.
I was going to do the ball joints some time this summer now I think I'll
pay the guy to do it.

i too understand rust all too well, iam from MI & the first thing i did after moving down to NC last summer was sell ALL our vehicles (even the 09 Flex) & buy southern ones that have ZERO rust.
Hell my 2006 King-Ranch i bought last Oct. still has some stickers underneath the chassis that u can read clearly......I love the south !!!

 

We don't normally have that much rust up here but
we will in the next few years they have started to
salt the roads when they get a lot of snow.

washed her up real nice and cut out the muff to straight pipe her......sounds real nice and got me about 1.3 avg mpg!

 

Lets see today......blue spring upgrade, new fuel filters, transmission flush, and new trans filters Throttle response difference is huge, and it shifts so much nicer The old 2ndary filter (the toilet paper looking one) was just solid black, not much in the screen in the pan though.
