These ones say they have "lethal voltage". They are $15 each compared to Motorcraft ones that are $40 each....

Not from that no-name company, anyway. Maybe from a known brand.

Anyone have a recommendation for a shorter radio antenna that maintains or improves reception? I'm tired of my stock antenna snagging everything in sight (including my garage door).

Are you going to leave him a LX ? It would be easier, not a bad look. Nahhh, iduno.....the GT = moh bettuh imo.
It will be a GT for sure. Yeah, this Doyle is pretty good. Wouldn't mind an air unit though, lol.... unit. We went to dinner with our friends last night. He asked me what I'm doing with The Eight Nine when I paint Frankie. I told him I haven't quite figured that out yet. He said "just leave me the keys", lol. Basically implying I can put it in his garage.

On my 89, I just cut it. It doesn't seem like it affected the reception at all.

That's cool noobs, our trails up here are woodsy yes, but most of the mountainous terrain are sand dunes.

Hiking it up is one the funnest ways to exercise..do you mountain bike as well ?

I do bike on some far flatter trails.
I do not trust bike brakes. They seem so flimsy I don't want to trust them. Maybe from some past childhood trauma I repress from memory.

One more thing: what's the correct glue for reattaching the wiper seal on the sliding rear window? I found mine in the back seat yesterday.

3M weatherstrip adhesive.



But that stuff is expensive for what litle you would need.
Maybe a bit of black silicone?

I think I actually have that. If I do it's probably hard by now, though.

EDIT: Nope. Will need to get some.

So, you would use "high performance" aftermarket ignition coils (other than Motorcraft) on a 10th gen F150 ?
They're a third of the price OEM is.
