I use this for reaching down in the valley to remove nesting material. Works great.

I may have to qualify my prior statement here... not a fan of Hot and humid weather. I'm with with your wife on that.

It was 6 degrees this morning... heat to me at this time would be a 40 to 50 degree stretch. That would be nice... but more realistic would be high 30s/low 40s. And sunshine... gotta have sunshine.

I was outside in the garage the other day with the door open cooking hamburgers... been a long cold winter. Ready for some warmer spring like weather...

Perfect weather IMO is 70s to low 80s with low humidity... keep the humidity in FLA. But unfortunately we do get it here from time to time... with high 80s to low 90s... that's where I like being cool in the AC.

I agree with you on that range of temps and humidity. Highs here (‘winter’ months) average mid to high 70’s and high 60’s. Humidity is high though - trending ~70% typically. Being on barrier reef it is usually pretty breezy helping moderate the effects of humidity.

The wife gets fussy when the sun is high, makes it fell 5 - 10 degrees higher.

Hi guys, I just installed the DCR about 10 days ago and keep getting P0088 high fuel pressure code. S&S says is could be a clogged Pressure Control Valve at the end of the left fuel rail but the pump replacement was preventative so the PCV filter should not be clogged. The engine does NOT go into limp mode and the light goes off after about 5 or so ignition cycles. I am hesitant to remove the PCV because it appears the entire fuel rail has to be removed. Is this so? Any info greatly appreciated.

Agree 100%. Mine isn’t a DD when I get down here I put less than 200 miles on it in 4 - 5 months. It’s the same when I get back up north. It may sit for a month there unless we go rock crawling out West or haul the boat to the Upper Michigan. Pictured Rocks or Fishtown, Saugutuck.

I knew the risks with these pumps to begin with, that being said leaving it sit probably increased my odds with the CP4 of things going south.

10-4 on letting it sit, gives the contaminants more time to do damage.....who knows? I realize new trucks sit in lots waiting to be sold, but that's Ford's worry. Where in the UP do you go? I'm up there a lot.

Anyone need a DCR? I have one I bought for my 450, but sold the truck before I got around to installing. I purchased before the price increase. Will put in the classifieds soon...

That looks really good! Glad you were able to get it all done. I ordered the S&B hot side pipe a month ago but it's still OOS, so it hasn't arrived yet. I was thinking about adding their radiator hose sometime so that I could also do a coolant change... maybe this summer, but I will have to see. I like the look of that Pusher kit too... I love blue, but I think I would go for the bronze! I won't be doing intakes this year though. Maybe next summer.

I believe the PCV can be accessed by removing the inner fender on the drivers side and may require a special wrench. Good luck...
