    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Found the crack in my cowl and painted/sealed the area. Nice wet April had my driver door sill area full of water. Be good to have it dry now!

    IDI guy needs help

    Was gonna say @nomufflers is probably closest. I'm about 2 and change hours and I think @ipski is the same if I'm not mistaken.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I had vinyl and wanted carpet. The wife convinced me to get new vinyl. Her reason was because she is clumsy as are the kids. First day of our road trip she spilt some breast milk in the back and boy am I glad we had vinyl. Can't imagine how that would smell!

    Leaf spring bushings....

    I just did mine on a lift, axle shafts in, supported on the frame, and we had to pry with a 5ft bar to move the passenger side down far enough. For the diff on the driver's side, we placed a stand with a floor jack on it to support the weight, and still had to pry it out of the mount. Did need...

    They state them as 80-97 for 4x4 so should fit! I'll look and verify tonight.

    Front Braided Lines

    While doing my suspension rcently, I pretended I didn't see how soft and worn the rubber lines going to the calipers were. Anyone have a part number or link to the correct Stainless braided lines for an 85 F250. I see they have some listed for the F150/Bronco and then a set of F250 NON HD...

    Ticking on deceleration in time with speedometer wobble

    My speedo cable ticked for a while and was pretty jumpy and erratic. Til one day it clicked loud once, and that was it. Dakota digital dash is in my future.

    Leaf spring bushings....

    I just did the energy suspension poly bushings in mine at the same time as new shocks. Ride is great. Talk about a pain though.

    I know! I was commenting that in their pamphlet they also have K&M as a filter and was joking that was the way they get the fuel in there.

    I'm about 40 minutes away from ya I assume. Never one to turn down smoked meats!

    I missed out on using some plum from our tree before we moved away. But I agree hickory and mesquite are top of the list for me.

    Except Kitsap county, probably because of the bases there, does not require any inspection at all.

    Truck Registration

    I agree! I mean I get it, and its not a huge deal as I'm proud to flaunt it around town (mainly the cops here like military), but there are some old retired gents who probably don't have much coin still paying the extra.

    My kids new wheels not a ford

    Agreed. My 88 z71 rode like a Cadillac on the highway and would do really well offroad. I second the useless front diff.

    Truck Registration

    Washington was around $110/ year. Was $60 but since all Amazon workers moved to our county they added a "transportation convenience fee" for the ferries and started a road tax. Mass this year was $123 for 2 years which isn't terrible. Then $31 for the inspection annually. Veteran plates an...
