Ok, I have zero patience. Kid went to sleep, so I headed out to the garage. Sway bar is now on. I just took it for a quick spin around the block and wow, what an improvement! I'm on the "softest" setting and will move it up to test when I can get it on a windy Hwy.

Thanks Patman for posting your install, I was on the fence till I heard you review.

I haven't heard anything back from Rockpick about the issue with my username. I've always wanted to move and change my name, I guess this is as close as I'm going to get!

Been a busy week on my end -- glad tomorrow is Friday!

Hoping the weather is nice over the weekend so I can take one of my babies out for a run!

Next week is already pretty full with inspections in Kerrville on Monday afternoon and in San Antonio all day on Tuesday. There is usually always some last minute rush inspection that pops up before the 4th of July holiday, so I'm not planning on having a slow easy glide into the long weekend.....

Cooling Fan Motor went out on the cavalier, Looks like a pain to get out from the bottom. Good news is the motor is only 25 bucks, Might as well replace the belt also since its the original.

I don't think my fans work either. If you're at idle too long it'll creep up to redline. I've found keeping it above 20 mph keeps it happy

Rolled over 60k last night on my way home from vacation. I'll post pics from my trip soon!

Right when I hit 60k, the transmission shifted a little rough going down from 4th to 3rd. It's almost like my truck knew the moment the powertrain warranty expired

When it's hot outside this one has always creeped up when idling for a few minutes. It runs 190 normal and it would creep up to 205ish and ac Start blowing warm. Now driving it stays at 190ish, stop at redlight with ac on and it'll hit about 220 before it turns green again. I thought I may have got lucky and the relay went out but I didn't

Hahaha, ford should make it flash the engine light a couple times when they hit 60k. Your almost caught up to me on mileage, you been driving the heck out of it

Took a ride out to my moms today. I went through the shed and loaded up a bunch of parts I had for my 04 and 96. I got home and took some pics and threw them on a couple for sale sites on Facebook a couple hours ago. Already have a few things sold, I'm hoping I can get rid of everything.
