I just saved $550 by installing the parking brakes myself! (With my husband's help!) It was a rather nice project to do today. Still needs a little adjustment as it wouldn't let the truck move in reverse, but it didn't hold the truck when going forward... So, it still won't pass inspection just yet. Third time's the charm tomorrow!

Default Guess who’s back.....back again....


Thunder has a friend now
Meet Thunder (Left) and D.vo (Right)! Thunder’s got a buddy! It’s been a long time, but Thunder’s still around and at 170k miles now!

Default Back again!


Back again!!!

I finally decided to get the light behind my odometer screen to work after converting all lights in my cluster to LED. My odometer screen’s light never worked prior and I was too lazy to fix it all these years, lol.

@Storm Chasing Ford I have heard that the only light in the cluster that you aren't supposed to convert to LED is the Check Engine Light, because LEDs cause some sort of problem with the PCM.

Washed, Waxed and touched up wheel paint on Thunder. I love the custom look without spending that custom rim money!

my brake calipers badly needed to be changed! Also did the rotors and brake pads as well. Upgraded to the drilled and slotted rotors.
