My 2009 was running perfectly when I sold it. 254xxx miles and the only engine item I had to replace was a couple of roller followers that I caught before they chewed up my cam. To be completely honest If it wasn't for the peeling clear coat on the grill, bumper pad, and roof, a bearing going south in the front pumpkin, driver electric seat motor, and blend door I would have held on to it for a lot longer.

nothing random about it when it was in response about the 1980 granada and its battery.

Does that help you feel better? Wouldn't want you to have to keep going all Karen on us. Have a great day sir.

That's the paint scheme I had on my 1st Gen 10. Blue that kinda turns purple in the right light over gray. Still my favorite. 334k on that one and never left me stranded. Then some dumbass has to run a red light and take it out. I miss that truck. Would love to see more pics of yours, please?

Glad you have an F150 and not a spammer. Odd that was your first post with no introduction, that's all.

thank you, I only have a few pictures from part of the paint correction. Not that it looks really good now, but it looked horrible before. My days of mods and stuff has pretty much gone by now. The truck is really just about the utility of it.

Not a spammer or odd imo. DJ and White were talking about the Granada before Coleroad even posted. You must of missed that Wolvee (?)

I also saw some dude in a Fiero with a Van Halen paint job blasting Whitesnake.

I should have stuck around to see if he had a mullet and Oakleys.

Filmed a video today replacing the caps in my ECU for The Eight Nine. One of these days I'll pull the other two apart and do those too.
