I did some maintenence on the F250

I had brakes done last week. Yesterday I had to replace the batteries.I went with 100 amp larger ones than stock. It cranks great now.Plus I had a new set of Michelin LTX M&S tires put on it plus a alignment. The toe end was way off.Man it drives & stops great again. These are some great tires. They last a long time if you just rotate them & keep the pressure right.It had a set of them on it when I bought it. They handle great & are real quiet. I just love my F250.Its got more interior room than my Grand Marquis & its much more fun to drive. We use it for trips now instead of the Marquis. Its actually more comfortable on a long trip.

Sounds like the truck is ready for a road trip, maybe Lynchburg in March.
I think sometimes we forget how well our trucks can ride and put off maintenance and repairs to realize how off things were until we do it. It is amazing what difference a good set of tires can make.

I think a lot of it is how slow the changes take place.If something went wrong fast you would notice it. My truck still would run straight down the road with the front end out of line. It didn't pull to the side at all. It drives great now.
