Waxed it yesterday. Said screw claying/polishing it will last till spring time. Cleaned and hyperdressed wheels/tires in a very low dilution. Looks much better. First I seen the truck in 5 days. Had it cooped up in the garage for 8 days.

well my front brakes have been dragging, so i put new calipers on the front. but then a ford tech friend of mine told me when you pull the hose off the caliper if fluid squirts out, that its a hose swelling on the inside and fluid is getting trapped inside the caliper, so i bought two new front hoses today at ford. gonna get those on and flushed.

also getting the studder/misfire feeling when passing, and i hear this is a converter problem so im going to have the fluid flushed to see if that fixes it. if not im in for a converter.

Drove it today to go put my old Lariat wheels on my buds FX4 since he is interested in them, and wanted to try them out before commit.

Trying to run the fuel down to 1/8th tank so I ran top off with some 93 octane and try the 93 file for a little while.

New tires

Firestone Destination LE2's

These things are awesome! A noticeably smoother ride, quiet and they look pretty good too.

Started her up. I realised it hasn't moved for over a week and the cold will be killing the battery.

new moog upper control arms, changed 1.5 inch level to 2 inch, got alignment, fixed my camber problem ( put the top of the struts in the center of the slots this time) and replaced a fog light bulb that was out.

should be ready to ride for a while now

Had a caliper seize on me Friday night so had to replace left rear caliper, rubber brake hose and brake line, new pads, rotors and new slides on the passenger side caliper. It drives like new and stops better than it has since I've had it. Must have been having problems longer than I thought.

I sanded and painted my newly acquired trampoline ladder over the past 2 days between shifts. Looking forward to seeing it on the truck tomorrow.
