Talking Update on my F250

Well it may not be much, the order was under $100.00 (around 80 I think) but I finally got it in the mail today. My first parts on a long list of items that need either replacement or repair. My Weather stripping has finally arrived. I will be installing it over the weekend, since I work shift work (look that song up and You'll know my hours) my weekend starts Tuesday afternoon when I finish work and ends Saturday Night at 11:00 pm. I can't wait, soon I will have new stripping and my doors should stop leaking at the seams.

Considering this is Washington, stopping leaks is a great place to start.

Wheels are next, someone thought wider tire would be nice, didn't check the space though and the front left is rubbing on the link.

Yup, more than my transmission that gets to be rebuilt with aftermarket parts this time. I don't need those that bad. If I did, I should just sign the divorce papers and hand over the truck.
