Larry, I changed that same sensor at least twice in the almost 200K that I had on my last truck.
It seemed like it just turned on that engine light. I couldn't tell a difference in the way the truck ran, or mileage. But I hate seeing that engine light on.

Bob, I think that's why they make black tape. So you can cover up that pesky engine light and never worry about it again.

I have so many things wrong with all my vehicles I'm not even sure where to start. It's all I can do just to keep up with routine maintenance.

I'm going to have to change the brake pads on all four corners of my wife's car Saturday. They just started chirping. I don't think the rotors have been compromised yet.

I still have what seems to be a major front end issue with my excursion. I have a bent linkage arm and I think the steering box is fubar. Plus my springs are shot front and rear. So I'm deciding if I want to do a V/B code swap or put a mild lift on it.

And no one wants to fix the clutch on my wife's pony. Everyone just wants to replace the whole unit. Costs more then the dang car to do that.

I didn't notice anything other than the light either.

Found the old blade for the weedeater yesterday and cleared some brush from around tree's and cut low hanging limbs that were a pain in the *** to cut grass under. Then had a old pile of leaves to burn so piled some green limbs on top and started burning.

Marty stopped by for a bit and visited yesterday. We got started talking about the different cars/trucks we've had, and I showed him some of the stuff I painted years ago and found these two pictures of my first 79' F150. I bought this truck in the early 80's, it was just a few years old then. Regular cab, long bed, 302, automatic, 4x2.

Yes, I put side pipes on it, that was a thing then. And it actually sounded pretty good

It will cut up to about a 1.5 treel/limb with out blinking a eye. If you give it a second it will cut one up to about 2-2.5".
