Congrats Mark!!!! She's sweet~I catch myself now looking at Bronco's due to some of the nicer ones on here....like yours =)

Happy Birthday Roy!!!

smilietease didn't pay that much of attention, was too focused on keeping my *** on the road

Not sure what part of the country you're in but the Nokians I have on the CRV are awesome! Rain and snow....no problem. Last winter was the first year I ventured out when we had snow/ice, this Feb I crossed the pass and zinged by 4X4's. Highly recommend them~

She looks beeeeuuutiifuul!!!!!

bite me~*wink*(guess I asked for that eh?)

Matt...knowing everything we know about this truck it will be the $700.So guys...just exactly how many more things are going to go wrong with this truck? Isn't there a Ford limit or something???

he didn't mention any grease leaks....Mark, if I didn't have the Ranger to sell and fund this...I would have parked that sucker long ago, or back to the blowing it up and selling tickets.hmmm...that option is still on the table.

ah..you speak his language.He said best / worst case and something about inside outside...I asked best /worst case in $$$ Best would be $300, worst would be $700. At this point I think I was whimpering and he said he'd call when he knew more.

I swear..I almost don't want to post this as it's going to sound like yet again....one.....more.....thing.Since I have faith (knocks on wood) in this mechanic I asked him about a sound I always hear at the 35mph speed. It's kinda like the sound you'd get from a science fiction space movie...

Charlie (dustybumpers) wrote I should use the Mercon IV tranny fluid. The shop quoted me ATF fluid.....what to do guys??

ah..just got the print out from the shop.I have the E40D tranny, said it holds 12 quarts of fluid $60 Converter $485.94 Labor $561.48 tax $107.41

Ya...it's always the high end of the quote.Ran it past the boss asking if he wanted to make the "man call". He mulled it over and said they're dinging me here and here but yeah...that's pretty much what it is. Me I'm thinking...wuss.

Seattle has just now authorized the use of "salt" on our roads. We've fought it and fought it due to the impact it will have on the Puget Sound.Some places are now using pickle brine vs chemical salt.

ooooohhhh lucky you!!!I'd like to see some pictures!
