I ordered some parts for the truck today, upper/lower ball joints, tie rod ends, and front/rear shocks. Hoping to get them put on Friday and get an alignment done Saturday.

Had to push it out to the truck and it cranked right up with the truck off. I think its safe to assume that a mower could probably jump start a smart car haha

Believe it or not, it can... LMAO! Did it last week. My old lady has an 09 Smart... Something just doesn't look right having the mower pulled up to the passenger side of it, especially since the jumper cables were going into the passenger floor board... LOL! Lord knows what the neighbors were thinking...

I got my cam phaser and timing job wrapped up tonight. All that's left is to fill the power steering, oil, and fill the radiator and see if she fires up. Kinda nervous to be honest.

Put a new 2032 cell battery in my key fob....the old one lasted 6 years so no complaints there

Matter of fact, it still worked, but I got tired of pushing the button 3 times before it would lock/unlock.

Him,

Search out Tailrace on here and Private Message him--he was trying to make hand-made leather shifter covers for a while, but I don't know if he still is. He was only charging $25 a piece for them.

Not just today but replaced all 4 rotors, pads and front left caliper with a torn gasket and flushed the brake fluid. Runs and brakes good as new now.

I took the manual slide, power towing mirrors off my wifes 2013 F150 XLT and put them on mine. Her truck is being traded so I put my power, dimming mirrors on her's.
Dealer wanted 8 hours and $400 bucks to do it? I'm thinking they couldnt be bothered and just fired out a stupid price.
I did it in the driveway over about an hour and a half...... counting chats with the neighbour and going real slow.
