Bear is always the optimist. That's a good thing.

Damn White. You didn't really want it anyways, at least that IS what I got out of your comment. Maybe you'll find one with the work space you really want. Hell, you're already approved, so just hang on, one will come your way, or NOT. lol

AK, the more I thought about how I would "make it mine", the more I liked it. I've got 3 more that I just contacted the agent about. One of them says it has an oversize and extra tall garage... The home sits on a 1/4 acre, which is fairly decent size for Utah.

The old F150 put in some work today! Hauled 3 loads to the storage unit, and 2 to the landfill. One load was pretty dang heavy, and she didn't even sag.

These trucks are workhorses. Best damn trucks ever.

Has anyone noticed that Motorcraft oil has gone to 5w30 from 5w20? I went shopping today to get 5 quarts, and couldn't find 5w20. I went to Walmart, Oreillys, Autozone and out to base to check the Exchange. Nope. Ok when did it change? Anyone know?

Last time I went to Walmart they had both.

I went with this Valvoline Max Life last time at O'Reilly. It came with a Microgard/Wix filter for free... Used this oil in my truck though and used the regular Valvoline that I had in my Escape. I am a big Valvoline fan. That is actually what our main dealer in SLC uses, Valvoline - not Motorcraft.

Weird. They show it online, but now Anchorage is without 5w20. Hmmm.

I don't mind Valvoline, as they make Motorcraft oil to Ford specs, but still, it seems funny that they don't stock it anymore. I found 2 single quarts of it, but that was all at any of the stores. Strange. I might have to go back to Valvoline as my oil source.
