Hey fellas!!!

I am actually giving my truck some attention this week ...

I got my Bilstein 5100 Shocks a few weeks ago. Yesterday I ordered some Hawk LTS pads (can't stand the motorcraft super duty pads I put on earlier this summer) and I am planning on ordering Power Slot Cyro's in the next day or so.

I figured I would spoil the old girl before winter sets in and so that she is looking her best...

I have a lot of little stuff I want/need to do to the old girl. I am getting sick of driving it all the time so I have been hunting around for a Jetta TDI to feel what its like to get 50mpgs out of a daily driver (hell 15mpg is a huge deal for me nevermind 50 LOL)...

My to do list includes:I want my yearly undercoating job on the frame, repair a damaged exhaust tip (damn snow banks!!!), put on a pair of Weathertech OE style mudflaps, replace or upgrade my current train horn flutes (still hunting for a set of Nathans would be nice), swap out for a Harley or Chrome edition Ford Grille, and possibly powdercoat the Harley Wheels once these meats are ready for replacement.

Once I take the truck off daily driver status I would like to plot and plan an engine swap for some time down the road as well ... A 6.2L transplate with a nice roots blower would be nice!!!

I think you forgot 1.1 liters on the displacement of your transplant motor, Jay.

Well, now I'm thinking it is. When I came home and parked next to it I went over and started it up. It ran fine????? Maybe it had water in the dizzy? If so kind of odd it ran fine 5 min prior
