Good morning everyone, I got word this morning from my sister that my mother passed away late last night. She had a heart attack last February and it was down hill in a fast way since then. She had complete memory loss to the fact she didn't know any of us anymore. The last time I spoke with her she thought I was her brother. She went peacefully in her sleep last night and thankfully didn't suffer too long.

Sorry for your loss John, I hope your mother had many blessed years. My thoughts are with you.
Another overcast day here today. Some asked me yesterday if I tan. I guess everyone else missed the two sunny days of spring and I'm the only naturally tanned white boy kicking around lol...
Taking is some lawn mower races and mud flings today. Shouldn't be any trouble finding mud and unemployed lawn mowers...
Have a good weekend all...

It's overcast here today, a thunderstorm passed us by yesterday and was able to mow my lawn. The mosquito's are having a field day though. Think I'll head out to the shop and see if I can get something done. Enjoy the races

Morning FTE!!!
Hasn't been PDI'd yet i'm thinking. They'll snap the chrome blue oval covers on once it's done
"One man circus", well said here in my neck of the woods 
It's the best way at the end of the day.
Sorry to hear of your loss John. My families thoughts and prayers are with you during this tough time.

Beautiful truck Gerry!!
I know, I'm still young and things will come with time. I want a 24x8.5 so I can make one trip when I need to haul lots of stuff, no point in getting a small trailer only to make multiple trips . I don't know what type of tranny's and rings your into but the only ones I like to think of are the ones that shift gears and sit on your fingers to show you're married 
. Girlfriend and I decided we want a large midsized suv or a large suv, once again because we would rather have more than enough space rather than be squished. Also no station wagons or mini vans for us, so the Freestyle is out. Plus the 4.0l aren't "great" on fuel, they might be decent but the Explorer is bigger and would get better mileage.
So sorry to hear about your loss John
Morning FTE !!!!
Been another looooooong work week. Crazy busy but I ain't complaining.
Gotta get more in the habbit of chimming in here in the mornings. Pages to catch up on
I picked her up on Tuesday and since driving it's been night and day. Flairs gone. Even the pause flair I had with the banks 6 gun in there when pull power from 5-6 (but it wasn't an issue, normal). Shifts nice and firm. Going to put the FICM tune back in this weekend and slowely make my way back up to the "Herc" tune. Then follow up with the PCM tune later. TT got the problem figured out for me and i'm extremely happy. Gotta admit their price was very good too!! $500 cheaper than the other guy.
Glad to hear they gave you an extention, they wouldn't even hear it with my truck when I was dealing with them.
Time brutha, keep working like you do and it'll all come to fruition!! <<--- pretty fancy word eh?
24x8.5 is pretty big to lug around. neighbor has one and runs eaves out of it. Kinda hard to get that thing around in a residential setting IMO. Injector rebuild is next. Once I have a weekend off. Will be ordering everything to do myself shortly!!!
All this tranny and ring talk makes me think of Thialand
Randy, TT gave me a "Freestyle" as a loaner while truck in. 4l, AWD, LTD, loaded, leather, climate control, heated seats ect ect ect. Got all my tools even some material in that thing. Station wagon so it's the size of a car but tons of comfortable room. Pretty good on gas too for the newer 4.0l. You may want to take a look at one of those babies for the wifee. It's like an eX but the transformer version
