Did this during the sunshine last week. Drivlines NW hooked it up with the U-joint install at $30 out the door.

Ball joints replaced and seals waiting for install.


Knuckle and axle back in.

Oh yeah, finished up Friday. This week I'm going to order the driver tie rod and a couple other small pieces though.

Whats the deal with the Idaho 6.0?

The guy seems to be looking to replace Bill Hewitt.
That said I do like the built in measuring cup on the bottle
that has been one thing that is missing with all the stuff on the
market.

He does have some decent information. Was a Ford Technician for over ten years as well. Has an account that I don't think is active here too.

No word on the Idaho deal. I leave tomorrow for North Carolina and won't be back till Monday. I'm hoping we hear back soon.

I replaced the fuel pump relay and so far it's doing fine. Drove it back out to Puyallup and it did fine. Weird stuff.

My issue is not with most of the info. He/they took the time to edit
the video. They should of taken the time to work on the text before
they let him have a go at it. He may know his stuff but he does not
know public speaking is a lot of it. Makes him sound like a snake oil
salesman.

Hey Tim. Spent/spending it in NC. Had to make 100 servings of chicken, Mac and cheese, and Cole slaw. Then help organize a big celebration that was catered by yours truly. My dad and I were up till 3 am yesterday making Cole slaw. I'm tired..

A couple parts to install this week.



Hauled a treadmill two weeks ago. Truck is smooth after all the new front end parts. Will be perfect after the Tie Rod goes on.

I forgot I had planned to post up here. So, I went with my step dad to pick up wheels for the bronco(F150 was being finnicky again), while driving to Bonnet Lake I was asking him about updates and he decided to call them while we were driving. They told us that they had reconsidered selling it and were going to keep the truck and trailer due to work. The husband and wife are traveling electricians I guess and they used the truck and trailer for traveling to jobs. Which is why I had to wait till the end of the month. They informed us that they are going to another job right after this so they will keep using the truck/trailer.

I'm not real sad or anything. I'm glad to know so I'm not still wondering. However, I've since been thinking a lot about VW bugs again. Now I want another... Sure it eliminates my hauling ability but I get to drive a neat car. This time though, if I am going to get another, it won't be a $400 car. It'll be much more with no rust and no problems. There is one for $6800 in Bremerton. Fully restored and very nice looking. I want one again.

Interesting. So the F150 is still having fuel issues?

Do you want a project bug? My Sister has a three speed auto stick with a new engine and a bunch or restoration parts she is trying to get rid of.
