Welp just ordered a new throttle body for the wife's equinox, it keeps going into "engine power reduced" mode, and the service stabiltrak light has been on for awhile. Apparently the throttle body could be causing that as well.

I just ordered 2 rotors and rear pads for the wife's 2000 Expedition. 150K, time for 'em I guess.
Gonna go get a new set of Michelins for it at Costco tomorrow. LTX M/S2, last over 100K.

I got the brandnew Ac Delco TB for cheaper than a refurbished advance unit, so I'm pretty happy with it.

I worked over 22 hours at one site from sunday to tuesday, off the books deal getting paid $25 for fire watch. Ready for that check to come home, I got an alternator to buy and a gun belt to finish paying on. If I didn't already owe for the gun belt I'd be buying a Fox DART Karambit and trainer lol

Was gonna just put rear pads and rotors on the wife's Expedition. Ended up doing rear axle seals too. Was not expecting to do that, but it looked like it had just started. Right side was worse but both had wet the parking shoes a little. All back together now and getting new Michelins tomorrow at Costco. Ready for another 160K

I'm sitting here at work, hoping to limp the merc back home without much trouble. Intake manifold decided to go out. Fixing to order a new one and a couple other things. Luckily I got a very nice check this go round and was planning to order stuff for the car anyway, so this just changed the order in which they were purchased lol
