The Coyote engine does not use cam bearings. Fox would take that information and put out, "Ford has released information that engines no longer need cam bearings unless. . . "

BTW, there are also surgical masks which are different than the other three.

So.... last night on FB, I finally posted something that I've been wanting to do for a very long time - to which I got a lot of overwhelming support. It's been on my mind off and on for at least 4 years now. I have several inspirations, and I try to give them a proper salute whenever possible. So today, I've spent some time setting things up to start my own official Youtube channel. I purchased a domain, ordered a Go Pro knock-off, and put some projects on hold until that arrives. I have a lot of ideas, but the one thing that I do not know is what a good video editing software is. Everything that I use is a huge pain... any ideas?

We'll see where it goes.... hopefully it turns into something useful for people.

I'm going to admit... I was a skeptic here, but I gave it a shot.

The battery on my 06 Escape has been dead for about 10 months. I've tried to put it on my 15 amp charger a couple of times with no success. So, I was thumbing through the Youtubes and saw a "trick" about putting 2 aspirin in each of the 6 cells to try and rejuvenate the battery. I figured "what the hell?" and went over to the dollar store to buy some Aspirin. I dropped two in each cell and topped it off with water (it was still fairly full from my last attempt to charge it). Then I put my tiny little 1.2 amp battery tender on it (the one I use to keep the Mustang charged over winter) for 24 hours. When I pulled the tender off of it, I was pretty amazed to see 12 volts at the battery, because the previous attempts it would drop to 9 or 10 volts almost immediately. So... I got in it, and it started! And again today I tried, and it started. I'll let you know how long it lasts, but I thought I'd share.

I don't have high hopes for it lasting, but it could help someone in a pinch.

The tools:

My laptop came with a program called Cyberlink on it. It's a media player and a bunch of programs for video editing. I've tried playing around with it but I have no idea of what the controls mean let alone do. There must be 50 different controls for "interlacing." Besides not knowing what interlacing is, when it comes to the controls there are obviously ones that are not to be used when using other ones. It all becomes a mess. If this is also what you're referring to maybe try some of that aspirin in your computer.

I'm looking for the one thing I can't seem to find locally. I would like to find the tailgate oem liner panel for Red (Flareside). I've checked all the yards up here, and there are none. It is the same for the flareside and the SCrew. The one below is for reference only (SD panel and it's even diff than the styleside 150's) but is the idea of the part I want.

If anyone goes yarding or has a panel, could someone let me know? I did find one in Oregon but he would only ship via FED EX and it was over a hundred dollars for the freight. If he would have shipped it USPS it would have been less than 40. He said he was under contract to FX to ship only with them. I had to pass.

I haven't hit the U-Pull-N-Pay lately, but still wouldn't mind an Expy console for my '03. Now that it's not my DD, it's being neglected. Will keep this in mind, though, it I go.

Well, this is a start:

Any thoughts on the pricing? (I know AK wouldn't bite on most of it.)

Also: I'll probably never add a blower to my '03, so I think I'm going to sell the intake assy from the '99. For this, I'll post on CL, but also want to target the F150 boards, as I know they're the "Holy Grail" for Lightning guys. It's complete, just dirty and oxidized. Any suggestions on the initial asking price? I've seen them all over the place.

What's wrong with your pricing? For what you are selling, some is reasonable as ph, and anyone in need of a quick part to repair, would be happy with your pricing.

Is that a 5.4 manifold? If so a guy was looking for one on a FB forum just this week.

I haven't been to the wrecking yard in a spell. I really need to start hitting up the yard though, I've got a few things I need to snag up.

The Expy console is much nicer but as a reminder, don't forget the tray inside. I can verify at least one place where if you forget it on the seat, you never had it, you're looking for one and it's another sale.

Intake price? $7 and it's just what I'm looking for.

I'll go 8 bucks on the intake....


EDIT: BTW, I went with Wondershare's Filmora 9 for my video editing software. I have their Video Converter Ultimate which I use all the time. Both of them are lifetime licenses with lifetime updates and support. I'm not quite used to it yet, but it beats the pants off of the Windows version.
