    I really was trying to buy a 5.0 f150 but just couldn't get a good trade on the Expy cause it had almost 100k on it Had to travel 50 mi for the Chevy. Oh well 75% of the parts on all of them are made in China or Mexico anyway. Should a bought a Toyota:cheers:

    Well in the Expy's defense it probably was a phaser issue but I'm the kinda guy that learned the hard way that once I'm in there you might as well fix all the weak spots or you'll probably be in there again sooner than you want to.:smile:

    Well buddy I was starting to develop some of the dreaded 5.4 timing ticking/tapping issues and it for sure wasn't the exhaust kind. I wouldn't be happy unless I replaced the phasers,solenoids,timing chains,adjusters and guides,gaskets,etc 'cause it could be any 1 of them. About $800 in parts...

    Well.............lets say I have nothing bad to say about the Maestro as far as interfaces go it's probably about the best IMO.It worked great and as advertised with Sync in the Expy and now is in a Silverado playing nice with Onstar The 991 is a mixed blessing It's slow to boot but sounds...

    Ordered a kit from Dipyourcar to Plastidip my wheels this vintage gold color. Hoping it's pretty close to the Pueblo Gold on my truck.

    Well after 3000 mi in 2 weeks I can honestly say that the lift didn't have any ill effects on the way the Expy handles at least in my case and no parts fell off either! I can safely call the ReadyLift a win. As for those carbon/ceramic pads that came with my new Powerstop rotors not so much. I...

    Surprisingly the rear was still dead on and I put the lowers back on at the same marks on the front and it was only a little out on the toe on 1 side.I drove it to the alignment shop with no issues at all. Sent from my SM-S765C using Tapatalk

    Well after all the TLC the Expy has been getting it decides it's going to throw a hiss fit and break. That's gratitude for ya! We're leaving on vacation on the 19th so Monday after work I changed the oil. After starting the thing back up the ac compressor totally locked up and took out the...

    Yep after actually dealing with it for the first time it's more of a pain than a help. That and Ford's oddball filter that none of my wrenches fit. There's a Wix on it now that a normal cap wrench fits.

    Getting her lined up tomorrow and off to New Orleans and then Gulf Breeze Fla. on Sunday morning. Hope she holds together! Changing the oil today. Like that tray thing under the oil filter so oil doesn't run everywhere.
