( no A/C 11mpg on a good day and worrying about breaking the frame on a pothole. Plus it needs a LOT of money put into it to get it to run right like it needs a distributor ) If not then daily it when it's not raining and stuff to keep the rust to a minimum. ( I work at UPS And it's a lot easier to clean sweat out of cloth then it is to get out of cow hide..)

I was curious how things were going with you. I haven't seen you on much lately. Sell the 9th gen (as much as I like it) and use that money to keep the good ones up gets my vote.

One of the great things about FL. Yeah, it's either hot as ***** or raining. But, we dont have to deal with the salt. Vehicle bodies last much longer here.

I've done nothing. I'm afraid my truck is just rotting away since I got the new Mustang. It's just sitting there and getting uglier every day. I'm kind of mad at myself but I just don't have the drive to go clean it up and work on the things that need to be done to it anymore now that it's not my Daily. :0(

I would never sell my truck to a friend, lol. I know the Mechanik that worked on it. They used to call them Torquer cams but essentially they are Stage1 cams that doesn't lose very much down low. I got them used and the tune file took 5 minutes to adjust. The truck is in pretty rough shape these days, the interior is trashed and now I've got two rust spots on the Rocker under both front doors. I seen it coming through last year but figured I'd just get to it in the fall but never did.

I have to decide pretty soon if I keep it forever and redo the entire project or sell it off and buy the older 6.2 Raptor I've been wanting. I wouldn't get more than $5,500 for the truck so basically wouldn't help much at all other than getting it out in front of the house.

Hahaha it's still a good looking truck from here. I guess I need to make that same decision here soon too, except for the raptor part, I guess. Mine is right about the same price point so I can either fix it or get rid of it but the no monthly payment is nice as long as it's reliable. Those sound a lot like comps rv cams. Won't do me much good until I regear. Yeh that's looking like a long list.
