Hauled some furniture to my aunts and then took the family to dinner. SO nice to have a vehicle that can carry all my gear (tool box, tow supplies, deer/gobbler feed), 2 large book shelvesand my son and wife with room to spare.

That is an awesome pair of rigs. Every guy you drive by on the highway is going "where in life did I mess up..."

I was thinking that exact thing...lol.

Looking at his rig, trailer, jeep, house, palm trees, blue sky...:drool::drool:

When my truck talks to me at 91000 miles I listen to what it's saying, so a new GatorBack Serpentine Belt, idler pulleys and tensioner pulley is what it was asking for.

And for the heck of it I applied RainX all the way around.

Sorry to hear daoud.

Are you on a starter tune or has the tune been dialed in yet? You need wideband sensor to properly set up w.o.t. area of MAF transfer function. You cannot romp on it until this is dialed in perfectly or your asking for trouble.

If you post video of it we may be able to determine rod from valvetrain knock. I would consider rod knock more of a dull thud that increases with load. Valve train typically sounds more like a tick.

I put 25.9 gallons in it. I was asking for trouble. I did not notice the low fuel light until I pulled in under the shade to fill it up. I am used to the three week fill up from the diesel Jeep that's now about ten-twelve days with the 5.4L. Those dash lights have got to be brighter.

Did the gas station attendant at least give you a kiss after you filled up? A kiss makes the a$$ rape a little easier to bare at the gas station. LOL

I was cheap this morning and only put in $40...

No, he did give a receipt, I so zoned out not to look at the fuel gage and thankful that I was not pushing it to the pump and left $84 lighter. Where is my old 80', 280ZX that had the women to tell me "fuel level low"?
