I'm here!

Life's been busy. Laid off in Mar, took a second shift job in May and haven't been the same since. I also started taking classes on the weekends. Ah education, sooner or later I'll be smart.

The F150 is currently parked with an engine and trans for my next project in the back (MBZ OM617). The poor truck needs a little TLC. Rear DS window fell off the tracks so the door panel is behind me in the den until I can get it fixed. It needs a new exhaust too. The Expy is starting to slip in OD and is sluggish in reverse. Anyone know the approximate cost for a rebuild (It's an 04)?

Oh yeah, the storm we had 2 weeks ago blew water up and under the shingles until I found 2 leaks in the roof. Anyone up for a roof job? I can pay in mead and pizza. My deductible is the same, or more, as it would cost to have the roof redone professionally.

You can have it, it's just taking up space in my shed anyway, I couldn't bring myself to throw a brand new stock muffler with like 3k miles on it away.

Awesome, thanks! We'll work out the details. I just dropped off the expedition this morning. Tomorrow is the appointment for the roof.

Ive got the same thing (stock muffler and exhaust) with 30k miles sitting behind my house if anyone wants it. I also have many of my stock suspension components that I don't think I'll ever need.

Just fyi... trying to get rid of this stuff for a while, saw this post, thought id mention it I'm in MD but could probably arrange something if someone was interested...

I dont have any GFI outlets, already thought of that. My house was built in 74 and still has the original wiring.
