Thanks, Brew,- ive picked up on your replies about the trans mount causing the manifold problems, and while i was under the old girl checking it out before we took it to Pa., i kind of took a closer look at the mount.
Other than the rust cancer, ( and there are much worse running around) i dont think shes in too bad of shape otherwise.

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've posted on here so figured I'd stop by and say hello. Last week a picked myself up a new truck. I've been waiting a long time to get one of these.

Drop dead sexy truck, Drill. Give us some details on that bad boy! Did you get rid of the Gen 10?

It's a 2010 6.2L, only options it doesn't have are sunroof and nav, both of which I didn't want. Only has 55k miles. I couldn't pass up the deal at 28k.

Still have the 10th Gen for now but it is up for sale. I have too many vehicles right now and I don't need 2 trucks unfortunately.

Well ****.... don't be a stranger! And much congrats on the truck. From what I've read, that is one hell of a good motor. I'm sure it will be loads of fun for you!

Are you bringing it to Utah to go through the Raptor training course? LOL.

----------------------------------------------------------

Speaking of brake calipers, AK. Have you seen the NAPA Eclipse calipers? They come coated. Well... I bought some for the Mustang, specifically because of the coating. I got them home, and one of them only the bracket was coated. So, yesterday I had to go to 3 locations to get one that both the bracket and caliper were coated. I told the employees that I'm not trying to be a butthole, but I want what I paid for - and this car is going to see car show action. I want it all to match. Anyway.... got everything I needed now, just a PITA getting two calipers that match, LMAO. I'll hafta post some pics late tonight.

Also decided to scrap my idea of switching to a hydraulic clutch for now. I bought a new cable for now - I'll make the switch later. I've got a 12 mile long list of stuff going on already with the Stang.

White, I try not to be a stranger but work has been crazy busy. On the truck, it need a shock rebuilt before I go too crazy with it but if I'm ver in Utah with it maybe I can take you for a ride, it's definitely amazing what the raptor can do!
