Tested well. I hurt an abs sensor though: abs light and no cruise :(

Bit heavy. Especially with empty tanks. I may consider flipping and downsizing a hair. Price and condition were right. Done vacuuming. Needs a few interior trim pieces fixed and the floor under the plumbing needs a bit of work.

Probably do a fresh thread on it.

Picked up outside Mansfield PA. Got just over 20mpg on the way down by the overhead. Just under 14 coming back up.

I changed the front tiedown to near vertical with a tiny bit rear after the picture. It’s on stall mats and moved around less than half an inch.

Hasn’t stopped this well in probably 5 years. Full success.

Testing tomorrow.

Ha! I took the screw out of the back of the cruise buttons. If I give it a good jostling, I can get it to set 1/10 times.

Oil and filter
Tires rotated

Transmission topped off. May be leak from breather or top cover. Something high. May also need output seal.

I changed valve cover gasket a while ago and checked bolts recently when I did the PCV filter. Looks like that is still leaking at the back.

4 new calipers and new left rear rotor.
2 calipers were bad. I could have not done the right rear, it was newer. Other three could have been original
Left rear was to metal plus a bit. Never squealed but braking performance had been shitty.

I’ll have to see if I (or we, maybe someone without a broken 3ph converter and dead machine shop?) can make a longer cutter arm and make an 8 lug adaptor for the on-car brake lathe out of this bad rotor. Smike did you end up with a spare 10 lug or Ford pattern 8 lug rotor? Probably easier to drill new patterns in one rotor and adapt to the lathe.
