I don't understand this. I got an email saying Amazon cancelled my order on the Expy master cylinder. Yet, I went right back in and ordered it again. NOTE: Amazon Services was the seller on both purchases.



New order:

I know machinists can sharpen them like they're pocketknives... but I'm not a machinist.

Success! I cut the drivers side out, which was tough since the top nut was attached to that washer. After a quick convo with my cousin, he said to use fire, so i did on the passenger side, and the washer-nut came off after some muscle. Drives like a new truck, very happy woth the ride and responsiveness of the OESpec.

If you read about the technology Monroe invested into those, it's a no-brainer for me. I used all KYB on my 88 Mustang, but it's going to be a part time "handling" car for me. My 89 Mustang has their old Formula GP's still. I think it's going to get the full treatment of OESpectrum, with the exception of the quad shocks. Gabriel is the only company that makes them correctly.

This event is taking place where my in-laws lived (and are both buried now). My grandparents are also from this area. I could really find myself living here one day.... I love Richfield.

My Dad was a volley in St.James NY on Long Island, i use to run to the scene if it was close to the house, was always amazing to see them in action.

i actually let someone else drive the ranger ( our captain ) last night because i had that when the first call came in. they had to take it back to the station to get their truck for the call. seems to be whenever i have the ranger we have nutzo days because i dont have lights or sirens on that

Was walking around the truck yesterday after doing the shocks,and realized that my passenger turn signal housing "glass" fell off, and since its a pre 7/96 truck, the only replacement im finding is on ebay for 40 bucks. Should i just bite the bullet and replace the header panel and all the lights? I have a guy down here that has a ton of ford truck parts and he has a new header panel and headlights for 150.
