It sucks when you loan something to someone and never see it again or wait 4 years to see it again. It should have never gotten to "I couldn't fine him."

When it comes to licenses and fees Michigan is toward the top of the list or close to it for state financial rape. The one thing they have gotten right is with trailer tags. They shot up and quadrupled a few years back but now you only pay once and the tags are good for as long as you own the trailer.

 

This was posted up in "General." Thought I'd share a good bull hockey laugh.

""You have essentially the most trouble free 5.0 built. Enjoy it.

It's also very kind to the oil. Essentially the IOLM is pessimistic on that generation engine. I sent in a sample from a Mustang with 5W-20 MC at 10,000 mi and the Used Oil Analysis could of been mistaken for virgin oil.""

Thought I'd offer this here before I put it up on Craig's List. I have a new 8 foot, OEM Ford passenger, style side bedside in Ford gray primer if anyone needs one. This is without wheel opening. I'm not all that concerned about it so price is "very" negotiable.

Truck Bed Panel, Rear Right Outer REGULAR & SUPER CAB STYLESIDE. 8 foot bed without whl opng. F65Z9927840GL

EDIT: As far as I know with or without wheel opening has to do with molding around the opening. Let me add this offer is directed at someone who has a need for it instead of someone looking to resell it. If I was interested in someone making some cash I'd sell it myself.

 

I JUST DISCOVERED A SECRET!!!! Sorry for the enthusiasm but advance auto parts will price match rock auto!! I just got moog problem solver sway bar end links for $12 a pair. They wanted close to $15 each! I’m about to make some enemies sorry if others know about this.

 

Amazon usually has moog parts for dirt cheap as well. You should never pay full price for moog.

 

Well... it's back in. Took a bit to get everything just right in there.

 

I always bought advance simply for their 20% off - 25% off. I never paid full price there for anything except what they excluded from the deal. However I wish I would have known this sooner. I could have saved a small chunk of change in parts for me and the wife’s car.

 

Even with your hiccups at work white you are going through this build pretty darn quick.

 

I would REALLY like to start it this weekend. I need to get the trans back in it this week. I did get the clutch all set up and everything while I had it on the cherry picker. It's a lot easier to do while you're not laying on your back, LOL. I also did stab the trans and make sure it lined up OK. More than once I've had that damn alignment tool pull a fast one on me.




I siphoned 7 gallons of 15 year old fuel out of it yesterday.... what does a guy do with old gas like that?

 

I hear it does a fine job of killing annoying neighbors trees.
