I just helped a friend do the flexplate in an Escape. There is nothing remotely built to last on that **** box. Even the coolant lines leak if you look at them wrong. Flexplate separate and crack.

Best thing I did was talk to someone smarter than me. Not hard. My advisor talked risk, weighed my age, when I plan on SS, and what I plan on doing in old age. My plan is mapped out on how much I spend a month, how much I will take out, and how much growth I will have as I get older. Worth every...

Be careful with that OD section. I am not a transmission dude, but from what I understand there is a big spring in there. Was told that when I was going to do the 518 swap.

Only front pics when I was there. Bikes have no front plate, was good for me.

2023 2500, 6.7 Averaging just under 19 mixed city and highway. That is doing the math, not using the calculator in the truck. Truck says just over 19.

Look into Amp Research power steps, I think they do a model that drops lower than the normal steps. I have the regular ones and they are nice.

Years ago I got a bunch of parts from somebody’s shed for a 65 Barracuda. There was a rear defogger in that pile.

The way I understood it, all NLUs were two pin. I had a 518 and decided to go a different route. I was insistent on a NLU at the time because of the ability to get a better TC. Wasn’t too much choice with a LU. I built my own crap to run it. An adjustable NOS switch to control the shifting and a...

Wasn’t bad in Charleston, oddly enough we had a couple tornadoes show up.

Only 24 hours left for the news to scare the **** out of people and drive up Home Depot stock!

Visit Charleston South Carolina. Worth your time. Probably the best food and bev place I have lived. It’s old for America, pretty cool. Do a horde tour downtown, totally worth the money. Tour a plantation or two.

Pimpin aint easy.

I hope they work for you. They put me out and did 6 or 8 on me. No real relief. Mixed bag on people I have talked to that have had it done.

Brother, long time no talk, need to remedy that. I think the home defense stuff is a great idea. I think so many have the wrong idea about defending a home. Occupants, layout etc throw so many different things in the mix. Lights, like a laser, work both ways.

If it floats, flies, or fu**s, rent it. I was looking at purchasing, right now things are out of control. Even Cessna 172s. A friend just had his Piper engine overhauled. About 40k. As mentions, paper trail and electronics.
