got a good jolt before the breaker trip.....big ball of fire through the motor vents and lots of smoke

besides ford already had it lowered at the factory, L+HD were 1" lower....I'm just taking it down another notch
Wow, that's some heavy wire, - was it copper strand ? Looks like 4awg, maybe 6. That's what I ran to the compressor. Melted/bubbled the tape, so it got hot right?

I've seen the power ball twice, but that was due to lightning strikes. I was sitting in a road grader, then a monsoon hit. Lightning, -first strike stripped all the bark off an apple tree about 18' from me, then it struck again right next to me. That's when I seen the fire ball or solid ball of electricity. What it did is it struck the concrete curb(which was just poured 5 days earlier) down to the re-rod. It stopped blowing the concrete apart at the re-rod. Blew the top of the curbing apart and straight up. Concrete chunks rained down on top of the machine I was sitting in waiting for this to blow over. That fire ball was right outside the door, passenger side. I didn't know what to do besides sh-t myself, I know I at least spotted anyway. Just sat back in the seat and froze for awhile. Afraid I would be history, if I tried to head for the truck.

The first time I seen that fire or lightning ball was on top of an apartment complex roof. Seen the strike, then lightning ball. The ball seemed to roll down the roof for a bit before disappearing. Wicked...

It's a small piece of meat, only about 3 pounds. It's cut off the bottom sirloin. Kinda like a mini brisket but with a lot more marbling throughout.

It's pretty popular on the west coast. I have never cooked any and wanted to try it.
