Nope. Will & Jim know the story behind that one.

Bought it new July '05. Had it 18 months until Feb '07 when it was stolen. Long story short it was found a few months later, I made it so expensive to repair the insurance finally just totaled it, bought it back for $5k, sold it to my dad to replace the '94 F150 we had, and it's never missed a beat.

No. Whoever took it had a flat and replaced it with a spare that wasn't the same size as the other 3. They burnt up the trans fluid in 3k miles. Told the insurance I wanted a new rearend, trans and transfer case. They also trashed the interior so told them I wanted every piece replaced with brand new stuff, not just new cloth over the old seats. All that on top of all the body work where they messed up the front bumper, and drivers door, new bed.

Wow that's aweful Ian! Dang dude


P0430 code came on my Gryphon again today... twice this week. Haven't seen it in 7 months. I did have a bad coil (3 iirc) and this is for bank 2. Do you think it's related? It came on October of 2010 then had the coil and spark plugs fouled... I wonder if it is finally getting worse

Might even be the spring connector loosing contact with the plug or coil......accel connectors rock!

Yea, there was some. A little drywall mud stuck to the motor wheel fins as well. At least that's what it looked like. Hey look, my sister stunt doubled this chick again, this time she had to drive the ugly *** car lol.
