Ordered more parts. Replacing the aged Banks gauges with Auto Meter Sport Comp IIs. Adding a transmission temp gauge as well.
Also ordered new up-pipes and a Mag-Hytec transmission pan. I'm going to be busy!

Installed a dash cam. I had a darn fool decide to play the brake check game with me on our way home from NY last weekend trying to get me to hit her from behind. She was pissed that I didn't move over for her when she was trying to merge on to the highway (there was someone beside me on my left and I couldn't move over) and she passed me and slammed on the brakes. I figured that I could have used some video evidence if I wouldn't have been able to avoid her.

I did the same over the winter after a similar experience last fall. I saw them accelerating coming down the on-ramp and assumed they were trying to get out ahead of me so I starting slowing down. Then they started slowing down and pacing me so that we arrived at the end of the on-ramp at the same time and I had to really step on the brakes. Not sure what's up with some folks.  Perhaps a bigger truck with a heavy duty grille guard and I don't bother slowing down....

Sadly, for the second night, we packed up the truck with our irreplaceable items in case we have to evacuate our home tonight. Our city has been ravaged by a 45,000-acre wildfire that has taken out 150 homes already and still is on the rampage.

Best of luck to you and your family. Lots of tragic fires going on currently.

Stay safe and I am hoping that the fires don’t reach you.

Keeping good thoughts for you. My cousins live on the east side of Sacramento, El Dorado Hills, and they constantly worry about these fires.

Finally replaced that hunk o’ junk factory kitchen faucet! It’s been my nemesis since day one, with the sprayer spraying me in the face and the tap leaking under the sink.
Have a nice chrome Moen faucet in there now. Has the a big goose neck to get the dishes under it. Nice replacement.
Also, no more spray hose that took up space under the sink.

Not happy with you Ford folks today! Had to drive from DFW to Abilene and back without A/C yesterday and today in one of our F-550 crew-cab "work" trucks! The compressor crapped out at 60k miles about 20 mins into the trip out to Abilene. $1,197 for labor and a new compressor. I know that every brand has their problems, but in 98 degree temps I was not pleased!
Edit: I should add that this particular vehicle has been a thorn in my side...the turbo died at 40k miles on the way to El Paso, TX and the rubber intake tube literally blew up at 25k (replaced with an aluminum pipe).

If it makes you feel better, the AC in my Ram is far better than in my Ford. My old Cummins will freeze you sitting at idle.

Just sitting here drinking coffee and looking at it as the sun starts to come up here in a Virginia mountains campground!

FORScan
Last week I bought the OBDII cable, downloaded the free FORScan software, applied for the extended license, and did a lot of research. I was nervous about doing this. Yesterday I plugged in my F150 and made a bunch of changes that make the truck a whole lot nicer. I turned off the auto stop/start, added temp numbers to my gauges, turned off the seatbelt dinger, turned my folding mirrors on "auto", turned off the piped in engine sound, changed my DRLs from low beams to parking lights, and enabled "Bambi mode" (high beam and fog lights on at the same time). Frankly, I couldn't be happier with this truck!
