Me too 
I was also considering a new 5.0 GT next summer for a DD but now I'm thinking 2011 Crown Vic because the 4.6 2v is so bullet proof I can do the maintence onit myself and keep learning. Plus the aftermarket has some sweet upgrades for the suspension to really make them handle awesome. I'm to the point where I want to do it myself because I can read and follow the directions. The impact will make life easier to remove the stuff that's tricky and tighten down the front shocks if I need to again. I did pickup the HF Torque wrench yesterdya, on the hunt for a 36MM deep well socket now.
GLC, they only go up to 250 ft/lbs

Impact was awesome! removed shocks and hunb with ease and torqued them well! Harbor freight Torque wrench was great and included the calibration sheet. I'm really happy with everything so far, money well spent.
Good to hear jethat! I'm going to mod it like a Marauder if I get one and doll it up but I want reliability in the engine
