Pulled dipstick yesterday to check oil and found previous owner had almost two qts over fill. well she is much better now

 

Were you able too pull the loader out in reverse?

 

Thanks! I had those axle lines replaced recently when my calipers + hoses were replaced. Still have a vacuum leak, hence the need to cap under the hood.

 

Replaced all 3 windshield wipers, 24" Bosch Icons in front and stock 16" in the rear. I bought a good salvage yard inside rear view mirror and replaced my original messed up one. Then off to the car wash for a good cleaning. Old rear bumper had been hit when PO had it. Salvage yard had one of those as well. Replaced it and salvaged all the backup sensors and lights off the old one. I bought new doors for the upper console up front but haven't found out how to replace them yet. Don't know if the console has to come out to put them in or not. Still searching for the answer on how to install the new ones.

 

16.01 MPG mostly city driving.

 

New member as in he's taking yours or in he's buying his own... Please don't go Michael, you bring class to this forum that no one else can

 

Michael, since you wheel and deal in small boats maybe you need an F650 Excursion conversion, just to haul a couple around. Heck, get a 6 door model and you can transport the crew too.


Are you selling because all of the leaks are damaging your driveway?


I am with Apoc, please stick around.

 

Changed the trans oil, filter, and gasket. Luckily I have a drain plug. Painted the pan while I had it off. Going to drive for a week then take it to my cousin's shop for a complete trans flush.

Also replaced the steering stabilizer and cleaned and lubricated the rear hatch mechanism, works great now.

 

Will see, I do enjoy this forum it's become part of my day to day life.

 

We are like a weird family damn it, you gotta hang around.



So it's been really warm, everything is melting. Looks like it will be 40F and sunny every day this week. I decided instead of waiting in line to pay $16 for a crappy car wash I was going to hook the hose up, pull the pressure washer out and go to town! That I did, I washed my F-150, Chrysler, Excursion and my Dads Explorer which was terrible. I then decided to put my summer wheels/tires on my F-150. I kept the studded tires on the Excursion in case it snows in the next month or so.

Some pictures from today.








Last winter for these wheels, they are getting to the point that the corrosion is causing them to loose air around the bead. I have my factory 16's which are in great shape that i'll swap my snow tires on to before next winter.




Before and afters of the other ones in the driveway.

Looking good Russ. That Chrysler is the perfect color for your roads!

I noticed something weird on my EX yesterday. I needed to move it a few feet to get to something on the ceiling of the garage, so just wanted to take it out of park and push it. For some reason I turned the key to ACC first, then to the run position (not started), pulled the shifter and it came out of park without stepping on the brake. When I went to move it back later, I tried just straight to run and it won't come out of park without stepping on the brake. Tried ACC and then run, and it comes out of park again. Weird! Either something is worn out in there, or just a function of how the interlock works. Maybe somebody else try it on your truck and see which it is?

Oh yeah, I drove it Saturday to deliver the old camper to the new owners. Back to slumber for another month I think.

 

I love it! Thanks for sharing!

 

Wait a minute here..... You aren't really trying to say you are selling your baby??

 

Congrats... I always found that the most fun part of Cub Scouts.
