Taino, those are sweet little lights

 

Some fresh coolant to keep her happy. Looks like she had the yellow universal coolant before, switched over to green coolant. Also lubed window tracks, windows go up and down a little faster now.

Didn't have time to post yesterday, but here's what I did to the X yesterday:

-Over the years, some of the panels collected dust, dirt, and were just plain filthy. I got some cleaner, pulled some of the panels, and cleaned/scrubbed them all.

-Took out the center console turned it upside down and dumped everything out. I was very surprised to find alot of junk in there, needless to say there is now plenty of room in the center console now. The sides of the center console were filthy and discolored, but after some cleaner, it looks brand new again.

-Once I got the interior back together, ran it through the carwash and headed off to a hitchin'.

Today:

-Whatever stains will be scrubbed out of the carpet

-The leather seats will get the Lexol treatment

-The rest of the interior will get Armor All and a few air fresheners

-Going to head to walmart and get a container to hold tools and things you'd usually need on the road. (jack, chocks, tow straps, tools)

 

Getting my ex to do list ready for my Gatlinburg Trip.

So far will need
1) oil change, will be done at about 2k on current oil.
2) add 10 lbs of air to tires.

That's it!! Woooooooo!! Last years list had 14 items.

 

I like this type available in different sizes at Home depot. Sturdy enough to use as a chair, stool, workbench, etc. Made by Greene Horizon.

 

had lights that wouldnt shut off and a door ajar light on the dash, sprayed the heck out of the sensors with pbblaster, the rear hatch ones were the problem and now its fixed. yea!

 

Good afternoon all!

Had a very productive day, did get to all the new toys Blue received this week.

Got the old steering stabilizer removed and compared to the new Bilstein.




Here it is installed!





Did an oil change again, I know it's only been a month and maybe 300 miles, but I wanted to get the new Fumoto Engine oil drain valve installed.




But the one thing I didn't expect until Christmas was the new Pet Barrier my wife ordered for Blue.

My dog must be spoiled! He gets to sit wherever he wants. Except the driver's seat (which he still does when I fill up with gas!)

 

I'm pretty **** when it comes to keeping Blue clean, and nose prints on every window just doesn't cut it....lol

 

Why did you refill with the conventional "green" coolant?

My thoughts also

 

why not ? won't hurt a thing.......

 

just got done changing the plug boots! also lubed the front ends on both super duty platforms.......my dually was in desperate need of the grease!

 

Didn't move it today.......just looked out and smiled at it !

 

I'm assuming, Stu was thinking like I, that Motocraft Gold coolant was better than the green stuff.... It's good for 100k miles.
