Ahhhh yes......sounds all to familiar.
Sucks big time!
We found 33 acres about 20 miles away. Old dilapidated cabin on it. Creek through it and on a a hillside backing up to BLM.
Killer property neighboring area surrounded by 5 acre lots or larger or larger. All forested ready to blaze some ATV / UTV trails for 120k.
Figured in 20 years it put house up there. Even has power to the cabin.
With an over 800 credit score we had no luck.....50% down, bottom line.
Still pissed thinking about it.

Hey all
Just wanted to say hello, miss everyone and that I will be joining in the fun again! Hope everyone is doing good and no one broke their trucks while I was mia.
Mine is pushing up against 100k and running like a dream! Brake pistons continue to be a thorn in my side but have had no major issues with her lately. Got some routine work to do on her shortly and some updates planned.

Just jumped started a Ford F-150.... It's a worker we have at the house that left his hazard lights on all day...
He asked me to rev my engine, I stared at him smiled and said "get in and start that lawnmower".
It's amazing what 2 batteries and a 270 amp alternator will do
His starter sounded like a starter on steroids

Does anyone else have problems ordering parts from Rock Auto for their truck? I haven't had this issue with some of the other cars I've had, but I'm about done with them for the Ex. Today, after waiting over a week, the glow plug relay didn't fit. Last order was the serpentine belt tensioner. Both looked about right in the pics but weren't. You would think that they must get returned pretty often if they are spec'ed for 7.3's and really don't fit. But, RA claims it's not their fault since the Mfr says it fits and I have to pay return shipping. I certainly won't trust their catalog to present the right parts anymore. I'll probably still have to use them for the occasional part they have at about half the price of anyplace else though.

Parking Aid /cooler tank and Glow plug relay
Parking aid has not worked for a year so I ordered 4 new bumper sensors for 50 $ and changed them out one by one and turns out 3 of the four where done. Then my Rad cooler tank was leaking on the top so picked up a new one for 70 $ and changed it out .Then to finish things out I changed my Glow Plug Relay because of hard cold weather starting another 120$.I hope I am done for awwwwwhile..........Please God

Perfect, everything is new up front actually,, what failed was the little plastic actuator in the hub. Tab failed and the spring pushed the main gears and guts into the plastic allowing the spring to slowly chew through the plastic
