Fixed my air intake and ordered 8 new COPS to hopefully solve my idle issue....its dipping about 50-60 RPM at stop sign etc but is sporatic at the moment...Plugs have already been changed so hopefully have a bad COP. ~76K miles...but I drove thru some water the other week and can def say there was water in the engine bay :o

It was nice today turned on the heater and washed the truck.

Installed my seat covers finally. They went on pretty well, some places didn't line up properly but oh well.

Sold my old 3.55 ring and pinion that used to be in my truck for $50. Good thing I didn't throw it in the dumpster.

global automotive on ebay. If you do a search for them on here you will find tons of threads from members using them over the motorcraft ones due to prices. Lifetime warranty and got all 8 for $104 vs ~$84 each from Ford.

I'll keep my motorcraft ones that come off that are still good in case the Global's fail. Some people have had issues returning defective ones but for $16.95 each its hard to pass up.

I traded my '07 STX for a '11 STX on 12/30. I love the Race Red paint, the Sync and the extra power of the 5.0L.

Well I was sick off it all not being black. even though I have not bought my new wheels and tires I painted my stock wheels black. Now just need to get my leveling kit installed that has been sitting in my dining room for 2 weeks, and get my black tails on that should be here in a couple days. Also putting in the l.e.d. interior lights and reverse lights in this week! Always addicting!!
