New to the EX community!!

Just bought this 05 EX with 108k on her.
Had a cracked head so I had Swamps Diesel here outside of Nashville fix her up for me.
She Got; New Heads, Stud Kit, Oil Cooler, EGR Delete, Injectors, Starter Motor, all OEM upgrades, SCT Tune, Edge Insight in dash pod. Before I even drove her.

This weekend installed, Infinity Kappa 6x8's

Coming up; Coolant Filter, Rancho 9000's and RAS Active Suspension and maybe a Fusion front bumper.

Finally got rid of my Swamps Modded 97 F350 LB, CC with 226k to a good home.
She was a good truck but I'm not as young as I was in 98 and am loving the ride of my EX!!!

Glad to be here!!!

I'm sure I will post questions if I can't search answers.

p.s. Love the stock springs (no sag and no bottoming on the fronts) at this point.

Lets just say it had a cracked head when I bought it. It wasn't expensive......

This is the truck that the Ex replaced, I kinda miss her....
