Changed my VCT solenoids yesterday. I swear it's quieter than ever and seems to have considerably more power.

Drove it and got it appraised, $14,500. Could probably talk them to $15,500 sales rep said. We'll see. Gotta hang on until I get the balance low again. Washed it last night though, and it got rained on after appraisal, pissed me off.

No need to buy COPs unless you have a low grade miss and the new plugs don't fix it.

Well I changed my upper control arms and lower ball joints replaced my rotors and removed my leveling spacers to install my new rancho quicklift shocks and springs.

Still crazy to me that a 7.5 year old truck with 125k miles on it is still worth so much! Gotta love that F150 resale value. Great when you're selling, but sucks when you're buying.

I've wanted to have one of my dealership's appraisers do my truck, especially since I'm pretty good "work friends" with most of them, just for kicks. But I don't think I could ever even bring myself to do it.

Me either, if it is worth it then I expect it. The funny thing is that is even with the leaking manifold and the CD changer inoperable. I'm going to do the right thing and have both repaired before I attempt to sell though. Same for new tires. My old worn out ones are too old ( week 22 of 2008 ) and dry rotted. I couldn't sell it on those knowing they are dangerous. I wouldn't feel right about it. So new replacements or at least used take-offs 275/65-18 for the Lariat wheels.

BTW, I have 121k miles, not 125! Its like a girl and her weight, it is NOT 125!

Well I give myself credit for knowing the mileage of a truck I don't even own within 4k miles!

Like how/why do I remember that? Haha

I'd get some used tires from somewhere to slap on it. Just won't see the return on new ones. If you end up trading in though, I'd put the old Toyos on cause they'll have to replace them to get it to pass inspection.
