Just a flat tire. Had a BLAST changing that sucker in 2° weather last night.

Oh, yeah, the rear end is still whining, but that's old news.

Evening fellas..

Sounds like a lot of bad luck is following you guys, hopefully it is all done. Looks like another snow storm is coming and seems that each storm happens when I have a tattoo appt. It all evens out I guess, I drop some cash on my ink and then make it all back with plowing ot

On a side note, I highly recommend the weather tech floor mats. Mine finally came in and I love them

Good evening everyone

Ive had good luck with the husky mats also, i like how they catch water on the side. Is your truck seriously still making the whining noise? Why dont they just put a whole new axle in it because clearly what theyre doing isnt working

Yeah, I haven't taken it back to them yet. I got the truck back at the end of December and noticed that it was still lightly whining. But it's not as bad as it was at its worst, and I want to be sure they can hear it before I bring it back to avoid wasting their time or mine. I rarely cruise between 50-55 MPH anyway, so it rarely bothers me.

Of course the $257 for a new tire bothered the hell out of me today. It's always something. It appears that the knuckleheads at Town Fair did a better job on my tire than they did on yours.

Now there's a real deal. That won't last long on the market. Do you want check or cash? lol

Morning all.

Looking forward to tomorrows snow. Maybe go up to Litchfield in the late afternoon and ride around for some good photo opportunities.

Had to change windshield wipers last night ford originals were starting to shred. Advanced autos girl said to get the "Ice" brand, so we will see how they hold up.

It's now a winter storm warning. WOOOOHOOOOOO!

Got my Town Car's air suspension going last night. The ride height sensor kept slipping off the stud, so I replaced it with the known good one off my '92. She now floats like the boat that she is.
