Yes, you're nuts Bion. It's the quality information here that keeps us coming back. Learning something new helps too.

That's what I was afraid of. I am nuts.

Still ordering parts too. Dorman Parking brake backing plates, Brake shoes, seals, brake hardware kit, new bolts for rear shocks top and bottom, new rear shock mounts and u bolts, Axle u-bolts for front and rear for a upcoming project, different shocks for the front, W springs for front, yadda yadda yadda.

Barely a day goes by that I'm not thinking about this monster of a SUV.. I don't have a life. I have a Excursion.


Somebody save me from this gold digging mistress!!!

Not going to chime in on anyone’s mental status.

I had to check. Been here 9 years. Not a daily visit but every problem I have had I come here and you guys walk me through it.

I went back. My first post was about auto locking hubs. What a newb I was. Yesterday I rebuilt them and diagnosed one as too far gone.

So big thanks to all who are here.

Been a while, for sure. The only names I remember off the top of my head from that long ago is you, Stewart, Monsta, Bruce1954, X_Hemi_Guy, and Snowseeker. Bruce1954 was only over at TheDieselStop.

I see Monsta and X_Hemi_Guy has not been on for a couple of years. I always enjoyed asking Monsta about living in Hawaii.
