Truck looks great. If my tailgate was straight I'd do that.

Default Changed rear axle

Changed rear axle. Old one was shot. Went to higher gear while at it, 2.73, for fuel mileage. I actually use first gear now.

Put in new headlights to replace the cloudy old ones. While I was in there I cleaned out the blinker lights inside and out too. I only broke one clip taking out the headlights (Dorman P/N 42190) so I felt pretty good about that! I also got new Michelins (and new lugnuts!) a couple of weeks ago.

Anybody ever use e3plugs in their 4.9 on here, about to do a full tune up on my 95 and bought the motorcraft plugs, and happened to run across a set of e3s that I got a while back, probably just stick with the motorcraft but was just wondering!

Just figured out my front calipers are not releasing! Wondered why it took so much to get going after a stop! Next project: New front brakes!

Default What did you do to your truck today?

So my buddy ordered a 52" light bar and he meant to order a 50". It was too late to return it...sooo I folded. It was $100. Decent light output. Mounted it on the front of my Carr light bar. Kinda temporary till I can find better mounts. I'm not big on them cause everyone has one, but whatever.

Edit: Dumb new app didnt upload my images with the post

Yeaaa. I'm late to the crowd. Just tried it tonight though. Best $100 I've spent in a while. I guess we'll see how durable this china made thing is. I'm pretty rough on stuff
