He replaced the sensor last evening and now it runs like a sewing machine. Was supposes to pick it up last night but the wife didn't want to head back into town after work. He told me he was using Ford parts on the timing. He is giving me a warranty on the motor, too, just in case.

 

Brought it home tonight. Ran great. Needs rotors. Started cleaning up the interior, shampooing the seats,etc. I'll have to pull out the Raptor and move the *new* truck to that side of the garage to clean it up better.
trying to post pics. Bear with me.

 

Got a few to upload. Realized the back, driver's side window will roll down, but not up... Raining here today, too. Gotta get it up before I take the truck out.

 

Great. Glad the code wasn't one of those bigger gremlins.

If that window 'moves' at all, sounds like the motor and regulator might be alright. The attached wiring diagram might help sort that out from the switch panels with a multi-meter. Keep in mind that a common problem on these trucks at this age is broken wires in the driver's door jamb from flexing fatigue. The diagram doesn't show that routing - but you can logically figure out from the diagram if the particular wire signal would HAVE to route through drivers door jamb. Another common one is 'dirty switch contacts' on lighter used panels (like rear doors). Good luck on that one too.

BTW. your garage looks like mine ----- except I can't get my truck in it!!!!!

 

The window ended up just being the switch. New one installed and everything is gravy. I've been driving it around all day, taking it easy of course. Running great. Wants to go. Got a new windshield installed, went to the car wash and found the third brake light was leaking. Fixed that with some butyl caulk strip. Ordered some new rotors and pads for the front.. They are warped, but not the worst I've felt.

The garage is a mess only because my shop is not yet finished... The stuff in the foreground is my lift, disassembled, and a bunch of other tools, materials, etc. Normally my Mustang is parked where the truck currently is, but it is getting some touch up work done to the paint. What you don't see in the other side of the garage is the Raptor that barely fits, my motorcycle, and mini Jeep... Hoping the weather warms back up next week so they can pour concrete...

 

Show off... ;-)

 

Here's the Raptor and new tires... Now I'm just showing off.

 

Taking the *new* truck to Boise tomorrow to watch the BSU Fresno game and put some miles on the motor. Hope to get the rotors and pads installed first.

 

If I had a Raptor, I'd show off too! ;-)

 

Got home from Boise this morning... Broncos lost and we froze, but had a great time. My kid's first real live game.
Got the upholstery cleaner out and went to town on the seats. Big difference.
front and rear brakes done, too.



Go Irish

 

Gus, my lab, wanted in on the action... Truck door is open? Time to go for a ride I guess...

 

You only think it's your truck, you obviously didn't understand that's really Gus's truck. I know full too well how that works.....my lab (RIP) would allow me to drive him around in his '65 when he wanted, sure miss those days.

 

Well, it is actually my wife's truck. I have the Raptor, scout, and Mustang. My kid thinks she's going to be driving it... Little does she know Santa is bringing her a Festiva...
Gus, on the other hand, will allow anyone to drive him around. He's my off roading partner in the Scout. Love that dog...

 

 

I've been so impressed with how well my wife/dog's SCAB handles and drives, I decided to get my daughter one for Christmas... Was going to get her a Mustang, but decided a truck would be more useful and safe. Found an '07 SCAB 4X4 in Salt Lake. Went down and back today. She has no idea... Santa is bringing her a very cool present this year..
