Something weird happened today that hasnt occured in the 1.5 years ive owned my truck... my uncle and i were just talking and he was looking at something under my truck and he bumped into the front fender, and my horn honked twice and the lights flashed twice. i know i dont have any type of Ford keyless entry... but i do know there was a sticker on my truck for Ultrastart keyless entry/alarm system? and an instruction manual for it zip tied behind the fuse box. also ive found 4 wires now (2 in a harness under the dash and 2 behind the headlight harness) that have been tapped into for something. so i am going to order an Ultrastart FOB (11 bucks on ebay, win) and hope for the best!!!

Hopefully everyone enjoyed this beautiful day. We had a nice bbq at my fathers.

I hope this guy is a member here, I saw a lifted white 06 ish f350 crew in Manchester with a sticker across the bottom of the tailgate that read "if I wanted a hummer I would have asked your mother"

I thought it was advertising for a company until I got closer, then I laughed my *** off.

I'm looking to do a better paint job than what MAACO tends to provide.

Had a real nice weekend, but now it's over and I am not too excited about it.

It is a 6 liter.

Took the 550 for its first few loads of material today. She blew the plastic CAC pipe off with just under 10,000lbs of topsoil in the bed. Put it back on in the driveway at home and went and got ~5yds of mulch.

Didn't pop the CAC tube off, but when dumping the load off the truck it also dumped the tailgate off. My father and I attempted to put it back on the truck and due to poor communication by both parties it ended up falling on my foot...

Needless to say I'll be welding washers on the ends of the pegs that hold the tailgate on the top so that the tailgate can't slip out like it did.
