Oh yea they're good engines, MA had a 2000 expedition that went 380k.

Between the BFG km2s, and the exhaust you can definitely hear it coming.

Well got it washed and the tires rotated.

Like I said last night it's a 5.4 it has Headers, no cats, true love duals that 45 out behind the tires. It also has a cold air intake on it. It will definitely move on down the road.

I wasn't a huge fan of the wheels at first, but it's definitely starting to grow on me.

Looks good buddy!
I like the tires and wheels that are on there. It has a nice stance. I'm not a fan of the black wheels that I see all over the place. I want shiny Chrome, or polished aluminum

I did get the truck, and Shari's Escape washed today. And did some seat altering on my daily driver. In the Super Crews now, the bottom of the back seats fold up flat. But you can't fold the back down to get into that storage area there, or clean the inside of the back glass.
Well after a few and a YouTube video I found. I can now fold down my back seats in the 2013.
Charcoal is heating up for some Pork Steaks that I started marinating early this morning. And I hear a calling my name.

Y'all behave.

For the first time since I got progressive insurance I'm having issues getting my new truck added on Insurance. The issue I am having is it just so happens Friday started my new 6 month policy, and the payment was made. Now because it takes them 2-4 days to actually withdraw the payment I can't add the truck until it clears. That's all on them because I'm enrolled in Auto pay, it's really beginning to **** me off. I've now talked to 3 different people who said it was added, only to send me ID cards with out it. Then I talked to another a little after 9 last night who explained the issue.

We have Progressive for all of our car's/trucks. I don't remember having any problems adding Ka'Bluey, or my 2013 from when the tree's fell on the 2011. But they sure did drag their feet on getting the 2011 looked at, and trying to figure out a way not to total it out.

They handled my 1 claim with them flawlessly.

I'm on the phone with another lady now, she says she can do it. If she does I'll go get tags, if she doesn't when I get off the phone I'm calling Geico and I'll have a policy with them shortly.

She is the make it or break it, and I told her that before we started.

I'd find a local insurance office, give them a call, and get a quote, see if they will match these other places, then in the future, you can stop by. It's a lot harder to ignore you if you can show up at the door.

I ended up putting all my trucks, house, etc. with one company and ended up getting some discounts for that. They also have an office in Raleigh, and if I don't get the answer I want on the phone, I show up at the door. Got to the point that i've been assigned to a specific person, so I deal with one person exclusively, who also happens to be a former dealer tech, so we get along quite well. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, and I couldn't be happier with my insurance agent, now. But then I don't buy\sell\trade vehicles quite as much as I used too...

I usually do that same thing. Make competition battle it out. I did the same thing when we had the new Michelin's put on Shari's Escape last summer. i actually enjoy it, and I did end up with a sweet deal on great tires.
