Has 150 miles on it today - averaging 18mpg so far.

Firechicken will have to wait awhile for the 4l80e swap since the money tree is going through a drought :(

Like this one.

Post by: nocooler on July 14 2013, 09:59:28 AM: Mike, it had 115k on it and the only things that had ever been done was the trans and a cheap set of brake pads.

It needed, tires, full brake job, front diff resealed, exhaust, the right rear airbag was bad - it was time for it to go. All stuff I could fix, but the time, energy and money is better spent elsewhere.

I've been absent from the board every since I lost my car. Its been rather depressing not having it anymore. Its clear I'm going to have to fight to get fair treatment but I guess that's the way of the world. Anyway I picked up one of them Ecoboost F150s too. They are pretty impressive.
