What would you say the percentage of new OEM Ford parts is that you've changed in your rig? I would be willing to bet you're farther along than anyone as far as doing a complete rebuild of an X one part at a time!
Shiny new parts in pretty FORD bags. Very cool to see!
How much did it take to remove the steering wheel? Was it stuck hard? Did you use a jar puller?
I did use a 2 jaw puller, I've had the wheel off a couple times before, you really have no give, just a POP when the pulling pressure is enough to do so.

Man, I really couldn't say, not even a 1/3, when you consider doors, body panels, other engine parts, some interior parts that are just extinct. I can say that my receipt folder is @ 3" thick, mostly new part receipts, some service, some aftermarket receipts. For me it would be anything visual, and functional/mechanical that exhibits signs of wear/age that I've been targeting. Some stuff I've bought and replaced just because it will be NLA.
That's epic. I'm not the best at saving my receipts for stuff (but I generally keep a digital copy). 1-10, how difficult was the shifter replacement? Mine's super sloppy and I'm about over it.
Ok, the wheels are back again. Issues with the original powder coating job. They have now been re-done under their lifetime warranty. The drum of the rims were never really fully coated, and had some pale spots, I accepted them cause I figured they would be fine. There were some other issues too. Now after a second polish and coat, they are much better. So this should be the last time for these rims.

They look fantastic! I just bought a set of OEM reconditioned wheels from Wheels America. I would rate their workmanship an 8 out of 10. If only they kept a cleaner spray booth or baking oven cause they’re peppered with little bits of debris that’s under the clear powder coat. After sending the first three back receiving the same level of quality I decided not to mess with returning the 4th wheel. I guess from the 6 foot test they’ll pass. lol

I called the dealer today looking for a past purchase, when he pulled up my history, he showed 189 purchases since 2016. Now these would be 189 invoices, which many contain more than one part....
New OE Hydroboost installed just now, only took 45 min or so. I ended up with a slight left veer when applying the brakes on a 5 hour return trip home form camping Labor Day Weekend. I know I had opened all calipers and checked/greased the slide pins, maybe earlier this year. I looked through all of my receipts, only saw for the front calipers, so I just ordered new Ford reman rear calipers, and the hydroboost, as I've never replaced that, and apparently the calipers.
