BTW, my daughter said "Dad, you need to put music in the background". That was my first go of it. Not too sure about it yet.
Where they turned rotors or new ?

Geez... that girl from UT bought another Fox Body. Thing is overheating on them, and I just now offered again to show them my setup. Don't know if they will... but I'll put my setup up against anything Flexalite makes. It appears this SVE setup is what they have, and it says it pulls 1866cfm total between the two fans. The Taurus fan pulls 2800 on low, and 5600 on high.

Brand new. I put them on the week I took off for Christmas. So they were warped in less than a year.

Well someone broke the trailer light cover plug in off. It was laying on the ground. Age or kids, one or the other. It started barely, the battery needs a charge, - taking that back home, give it a good slow trickle charge. Runs good, I can barely hear that cold tapping sound and it went away quickly...huh! Lash adjusters still holding out I guess. Man that thing still has a wicked passing gear, gets up and goes for an oldie lol.

Nope... but I responded in their video. This time it was a direct message... we'll see. So far, no response.

Glad it still runs so good for you. My oldie has just about been reduced to HD runs, and bad weather.

I sold one of the 7 pin plug covers on Ebay a while back, dang it!

thanks white, only $650 too! It’s been sitting for a few years so I’m cleaning out the carb really good, completely rebuilding the brakes, braided stainless steel brake lines, new fluid, all the good stuff.
I also got myself a new sandblasting cabinet and powder coating kit just for this job. By the time I’m done (hopefully by the end of the week) she should be running and road worthy. Then insurance, registration, tag, and all the other bureaucratic BS.

Seems like the smart thing for her or them to do is entertain alternatives...you would think anyway...(?) They should get a hold you...get it figured out and maybe plug each others channel while doing so

Thanks for the offer, even tho it's too late lol. I know have a few older set ups with harness. I may dig them up or just order one from RA. I got the the last one from RA, for that specific truck/model from them and it was basically plug and play. Pretty sure it's all one piece anyway.

I put the broken cap back on there, it should stay on there sitting stationary....for now anyway.

Today is one of those days where I say "ah yes, this is why I have six vehicles". Both Escapes and the Toyota are out and about being driven, and I still have an F150 and two Mustangs to choose from..... wait, maybe one Mustang.
