Threw in a bazooka 10" sub that I have had for about 15 years. Not a hella lot of bass, but enough for me. Fill in the bottom a little bit.

But I did buy a new 3tn hydraulic jack and 6tn jack stands.

I was about to buy a torque wrench and someone over-heard me talkin to by buddy, he said he was a Ford mechanic for 18 years and said I just needed to hand tighten the plugs till the compression rings stopped collapsing. I said that's what I've done in the past and good enough then. He also said I should go ahead and buy a new thread set for the plugs on that head cuz I would need them :(

I also asked about the injectors and he said stick with OEM or have them flushed.

On a lighter note, I bought an ASUS TF300T 10" tablet this weekend for the navigation \ media pc \ ODB2 project and ooowe la la, this things is SCREAMIN fast!

OH and I found some hella snow chains for about $150 pr delivered, so I need to place that order.

I used a dremel to clean the spades on the #1 injector that was dark brown and looked like no contact was possible, seems to have stopped the P301 code for now. I'll know more when I drive it later.

I also discovered that the CAI body had slipped away from the adapter ring again and I had to re seat that and tighten the clamps.

I sprayed cleaner in the MAS area and the throttle plate. I also cleaned the K&N air filter.

Bought two new Red Tops and a dual battery kit this along with the powermaster alt and enlarging the big 3 should keep the electrical stuff happy.

I replaced upper control arm + ball joint, then put in dual batteries and new alt.
Then fuse block and wired everything up.

Changed the #3 COP... Was having an intermittent engine miss and loss of power after overnight rain (AGAIN) hooked up the ODB and #3 was the culprit. When I pulled it there was moisture around the top of the boot, I must be parking on just the right angle for the rain water to drip in the plug hole. The Heater control Valve is also located just above it.

I hope you are kidding.

You could seriously cause someone to wipe out doing that. And even that not happening, everyone has a cell phone. I would certainly call 911 and follow until LEO shows up.
