Still a real beauty and almost a shame to change it, they don`t make them like this anymore..

I'd take either of those with not much of a fight. Some of that old stuff just looks better done up. That is as long as they don't go too far.

Debt is what makes the world keep going around boys... Buy what you want and let the bank own it... Its the modern thing to do!!!

I actually hate debt...but a little keeps me motivated...

Happy Thursday, another week nearly shot right in the pants!!!

I wish the streets would hurry up and be clean. Itching to drive the cobra...

Nice "breaking bad" sig pic. Was hooked on that darn show

I don't need a diesel, I only have one because I wanted one. If I did trade in, I would definitely get another truck but it would most likely be a older truck for a beater. What do you guys say? Trade in my truck that I love very much and get a new Explorer and a beater truck or keep my truck and just wait till some more of my debt is paid off and then buy a used 2012-2014 Explorer with low mileage next winter/spring?
Totally up to you. You can always purchase a diesel later to play with. EIther way i'm sure you'll make the right choice.



Got my truck back
Still having issue's. Pretty sure the old clutches aren't the only thing that's been burnt recently. I should have stuck to my original plan of ordering the Stage 2 complete tranny to just R+R. Would have saved money.

Taking to another shop to scan, replace Solinoid D and pray

Prayment over. Bought Solinoid D, changed on the driveway and seems to be shifting fine now!! Next is Programming from PHP, then back to shop that helped me today to do a final scan. They hit everything from DTC's to the actual PCM/TCM test.
I tell ya, been a headache trying to get this done. ALL my future work, refferals ect will be going to the shop on Plessis that helped me through this even tho they weren't even the shop that built it.

Going for a test drive after supper to get rid of the P1000 code

Weather is absolutely gorgeous out there today. Sunny and warm. Hard to believe there calling for 5-10cm of snot saterday. <----not a typo LOL
