I use 3 spring compressors, makes it easier and safer
Toyota Tundra's are way worse to put a lift kit on or just to replace the struts on
I have the factory Ford spring compressors and also 2 sets of Jippos from Harbor Freight
I just use 3 jippo spring compressors mostly, similar to the ones shown

Day 1 I discovered that the dining room table can't hold my weight. Tipped the whole thing over and put my foot down to catch myself. Been ok since, but I don't know how I'm going to do 5+ more weeks of this.

Sounds like that could of been worse. Hopefully that didn't slow down the healing process.

Been busy with mom, she's healing fine. Getting comfortable at night so that she can sleep was a task at first but she's handling it.

Sis came over to stay with her her last weekend for a bit. I wanted to drop the camper off to store inside for the winter. It was a first come first serve deal. It ran from 8am - 12pm last Saturday. I left Moms at 4am , picked the camper up drove to the site got in line at about 5:30am There were prob 20 or so there already. Quite a line behind me before it began moving at 8pm. Nice place, very neat and clean.

Usually don't take pics, not a photo taker. Did this time for some reason. Took this a day before and took it for a test run. Trailer has only been pulled 3 times since new. Never with this truck. Pulled beautifully though.

Default 2001 f150 4.2l

Hello,

I do not see where I can create a new post so I will put it here in this thread.

I took the 2001 F150 back to the shop. They found that the IMRC motor that was replaced 7000 miles ago was bad and replaced it. I drove it about 10 miles and the P0171 and P0174 came on.

Is that related to the IMRC motor or something unelated? Thank you.

Well... this has been a week!!

Aside from learning a new system, new programming, etc. - I've also had a couple texts or calls every day from my last job. I've gotta go in and do a few things for them next week. Got a text from my friend tonight that said "First week without Shane was rough!".

I have a feeling they're going to make me another offer while I am there.
