I edited my post. The guys there should know to do it right. But they might not.
shop price with tax = no issues.

 

What kind of world do you guys live in. Restrictions on top of restrictions, state sales taxes, etc? We have restrictions, but luckily no state sales taxes and stuff. I don't know if I could live in a place where 8-10% of my money went into taxes everyday. It just doesn't seem right. Maybe that is why I stay in Alaska. It may cost a bit more to live, but that can be anywhere. No tax on food, clothing, etc. Until last year, the tax on gasoline was only 08 per gallon, lowest in the nation. Now we are at 24 cents, but we are still low on the tax chart.

I have a free Alaska fishing, hunting and trapping license, get a PFD every year, my Mustang has lifetime free license plates, free taxes on property under 150,000, and only the tax above that figure, if you are over 65, or disabled, or a few other ways. All in all, this is the way it should be everywhere. JMO, of course. I'm sure that this is one of the reasons that retiree's are moving here. (The valley borough (county to some), has a $225,000 house exemption for the 65 and older groups).

 

Don't know much about Alaska but I know it's completely different on taxes.

In Arkansas we have sales tax. I believe every state but two have it. In the states that do not have sales tax the property tax and others are higher. Our tax on every thing else is cheaper. Food in Arkansas is around 4 percent where general sales tax is ~8.7 percent. ~40 cents on the dollar goes to Arkansas game and fish commission. The rest goes to however they decide to divide it up. Locally they tried to vote to up it by a penny a dollar to help the roads in my town since all the roads were originally designed for I believe less than 2/3 of our current population and expanding rapidly. Either way the government gets their money no matter how you cut it. And it is needed to upkeep the roads, public land, and public education.

 

After thinking about it, NAPA does give me a discount through my employer, and I do still have to pay tax on that. Not a big discount.... just like 10% or so.

Utah has a a few levels of sales tax. Non food items in Salt Lake County are 6.825%. Some counties only have a 4.7% tax. Kind of weird. Prepared foods (restaurants, etc.) for me is roughly 7.95%, as I recall. If I go buy food at the grocery store, however, the tax there is only 3%. Our fuel tax is 48 cents per gallon.... no vaseline included.

 

We are the second lowest tax nationwide
2. Alaska


National Park Service
State income tax: None

Average local sales tax: 1.78%

Gas taxes and fees: 24 cents per gallon. Alaska gas tax goes to road repair and not the basic general fund.

Gas taxes here are the lowest in the U.S., and Alaskans pay no income taxes or state sales taxes. While municipalities impose local rates of as much as 7.5%, the average sales tax is 1.78%, according to the Tax Foundation. Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, has no sales tax.

The property tax on the median home value of $254,500 is $2,987. That’s among the higher property tax rates nationwide, but it’s not outrageous.

 

 

LOL

 

Thanks, that's probably it since I have all the common electrical, cabling and grounds bullet proofed...limited to just those areas though. Still, anything can short. I've attempted to force the problem to reoccur unsuccessfully, but that's about it thus far. Well , other than set up to troubleshoot in case it is electrical.
Unfortunately other issues arose in the house that needed immediate attention and that's kept me busy for the last couple days so I haven't been able to do much of anything else....again! Filled you in on that one already lol. What a mess,one thing after another sometimes...

Thanks again for the rocker guards, I'll be watching for them. What else you got for the 98

 

True! And it can be an enlightening for some once realized. Learning where the 6 quart level is and keeping it there vs the MAX line. Probably one of the most common mistakes folks make is overfilling and maintaining it that way vs at the correct level. Which is hard on gaskets (head gaskets) and the PCV system. Like I and many others in the past, we scribe a 6 quart mark on the stick since there isn't one. The Ford stick just has you keep it between the marks which has caused some confusion where "full" actually is.

 

Yes, the range sensor on the side of trans (TRS). Adjusted using "R" and the pointer. Loosen then turn until you see backup lights come on. Then tighten. They can go out on yuh from what I've heard but usually won't loosen up or fall out of adjustment. But very easy to check and fine tune the adjustment if in question.

I think it's what AK suggested. More detail on that here, -
