Be sure to get an under wash at a car wash.
They spray cleaner and water on the underside
to help remove all the salt and crap.


My Black Bronco came back as a brown/tan truck
driving the passes in winter/spring.

Unfortunately no, I'm in the Kirkland-Bellevue area. I wish I was over there...that's my heaven. I've got family and friends in and around Winthrop, plus a college buddy's family has a place out in Carlton. Know the area well. Been going over for nearly 20 years now, but not as much lately with a young family. Just too far for a weekend trip.

Was just over there in mid-November...so fricken hard to come back to the dark side of the state.

I love Winthrop! When I'm not wearing my 6X I've got on a Winthrop hat I bought last time we were there. Pulled two trailers and a boat over to Pearrygin state park for a few days. That spot is definitely on the top of the list of my favorite places to camp. Beautiful country over there.

Nice Nash there...we used to have an Artic Fox. Northwood makes great trailers.

Agreed, yeah I love it and don't really ever want to have a different manufacturer brand. Built like a brick house! Heavy as a **** loaded (9000+), but the Ex has never had an issue pulling it.

Anybody in the Everett/Mill Creek area seen a red Super Duty running code before? It was heavily modded so I'm pessimistically assuming it was somebody doing it for fun rather than an actual emergency response vehicle. Maybe I'm wrong tho.

None from WA. But I have seen some photos of them all dressed up
for fires and what not.

BTW are you coming to the meet? It up that way this time.

Yop, I'll be there. Got a few other Fords coming pending work schedules and such. Might not be on time, church runs past 12:30 sometimes and I gotta make sure the wife has the 4 month-old situation under control as they need to run off and do other things.

That's pretty suspect to me...that looks like an older SD. Not sure why any of the well-funded First Responder units around here would still be using it. They seem to trade their vehicles in fairly quickly and don't mod their rigs (except for gear they needed). If it's a legit truck, I'd guess it's from a small town kind of environment...but then it wouldn't be running code in Everett.

Hope it works. IMO the best place to locate Distilled water is Winco, they typically have the most in stock.

Here is my coolant/Radiator update thread, the lines P/N's are fuzzy, I'll see about locating the invoice though.

PS. If you call Horizon Ford in Tukwila and mention internet pricing at the parts counter they should hook you up. Tim and Wyatt are pretty good helping me out.
