Next on the list will be some RiffRaff boots, but the Ford boots look good, and I didn't want to wait.
I know how you feel, that's why I ordered Clay's boots in advance, lol!

That's awesome you got hooked up! I was fortunate and picked mine up for $45 shipped to my door.

Unhappy

She ran really badly yesterday, bucking and barely staying running at idle. The only time she ran well was at WOT, so today she is parked waiting on the next diagnosis...

As often as I've had the intake and the oil cooler off of her in the last month I'm wondering if maybe I got something into the oil and the IPR could be plugged?

Got the heads torqued down after driving 160 miles to get on after I broke mine yesterday. Installed 06 intake on the old 03 motor and installed glow plugs. Waiting on injectors now. Supposed to get them saturday.

I know it's too late for this,, but I have a little plastic space heater I set up to warm the plastic ones before disassembly and reassembly. It works like a dream. I'm actually still running the plastic one on my personal truck. If it ain't broke,,,,, Ya know.... I actually like how the plastic one seats on the elbow and cac. One day I will upgrade on ole grey tho.

While I'm in there for the IPR, I'm going to check those as well. The harness around the ICP is pretty oily so it very well could be a poor connection contributing to the problem.

can do better than telling...




Theres also tire balance on all 6 tires thats not listed there since its on the 2nd page...

warranty only covered the cost of the injectors and some of the labor.. the trouble shooting and the 2 leaks i was SOL for.. mainly took it in for the oil leak since i couldnt find the source and was dumping 3/4 in 30 miles.. didnt know about the coolant leak... figured while they had it they could search for the small miss i was fealing... they had told me those injectors were completely dead and unresponsive..

she now runs alot smoother... and rides smoother too now that those rear tires are balance..

sure does.. cuz that 1500 is coming from the funds i had saved to get her into the body shop to look better and keep the rain from getting inside..

is nice they paid but would have been nicer had they covered the oil leak too.. but ohh well.. cant always have everything... i hope she stays running awesome.. i need to recoop funds again...

Extended warranty for used vehicles through the dealership I bought it from. The exact name of the company its through I couldn't tell ya.. Can't remeber.. They've paid out more than I paid for it though lol.. It was 2k something when I bought it.. They've prolly shelled out close to if not 10k in the last 2 yrs

The only thing that mine covered was EOM (and I wasn't about to put the OEM ball joints back on the Monster) ball joints and 6 hours labor...EVERYTHING else I've tried to ask for has been rejected. So for me it was a total waste of money.
