I was on vacation last week as well. Went over to the Spokane area. Hit up Silverwood a couple days with my kid. Was pretty smokey over there from the wildfires but we still managed to have a good time. The Fiesta ST ran about 34MPG so I was happy with that. The 101 degree temperatures were something I could have done without however. The 80's feels cool now.

I loved those Mustangs back in high school. Really cool memories watching the seniors light them up after school.

I found a couple that my Buddy took of that same car that I posted.

The BRAND NEW radiator that I put in Frankie is already leaking. It appears to be the seal on the drivers side tank. Swell... this cooling system has been the biggest PITA.

Meh, that last pic with the mud guards on those thin wheels doesn't really appeal to me.
I want to see wide tires on a mustang or any other ports car for that matter.

I did the idle relearn procedure on Frankie tonight. It is way better, but even though I set it at 700, the ECU is trying to sit at 800. At least it's not dying anymore

Anyone here ever had to change the Starter Motor Relay Connector on their 10th gen F150 ?
mine is worn out looks in terrible shape like mice chewed on it.
is this a common thing to corrode away?

They were pretty cramped up for 8 hour duty shifts especially compared to the P71’s and earlier Fords and Mopars but the cool factor is off the scale. My wife had a ‘99 but I preferred my P71’s any day.

It's a 92... I haven't looked in a troopers car for a while, but I'd like to think their equipment has become much smaller over the past 3 decades.

Are you talking about the single wire (probably 12 gauge) down on the starter? I've had new starters come with those in the box, ready to splice in.

EDIT: Just found this pic on RA. Looks like some of these come with that wire too....
