New front brakes. On the drive home from the shop the check engine light comes on. Lucky for me I have a code reader. Looks like new o2 sensors are next...

I ordered the bedsaver so I don't have any issues with it falling off the hitch.

Today I installed a cargo / boat rack made by U.S. Rack. It is designed for use with 5th wheels. It will carry our 12' jon boat.

Installed 4.10 gears in the front and rear and a Detroit Tru-Track limited slip on my 2001 F-150. Currently going through the proper gear break in process. I really want to get in the gas to feel the difference, but I have to wait another 400 miles... lol. Should make my '01 a beast for towing! Would have been a lot easier if 4.10's were a factory option way back in '01!

Installed Airlift 5000 kit. Ran temporary air line out the back because the install took way longer than I expected. I have the wireless compressor but ran out of steam - Getting old sucks... Glad my kids weren't around, I taught myself some new words today...

Didn't know vehicles had a break-in period anymore.

I got my on board air compressor and air tank installed. Added 2 paddle switches in the cab with a dual needle gauge to control the air bags. Also added a train horn for those drivers that like to cut you off while you're towing a big fifth wheel. [emoji3]

150 dB horn should get their attention

I still can't figure out why people insist on cutting us off when we have the trailers behind us. I got behind one that did this, and then wanted to drive up the mountain (2 lane road, speed limit 35mph) at 20 mph, this was with an older truck, and it was too slow for one gear, and too fast for the next, exhaust temps were through the roof... Rant over, sorry

Traded in my trusty 02 2500hd for this.. 2015 F150 2.7 ecoboost with tow package. Tows like a dream and the interior comfort is a few steps up as well!

Have the truck in the shop as we speak. After 10 years and 3 5th wheel trailers, the transmission finally needed to be rebuilt. The mechanic is putting in a triple plate torque converter which he said will be better equipped for dealing with our 14000 lb. North Point. While it's in the shop, we are adding a Pac Brake exhaust brake. Hopefully this will save me some time replacing brake pads.

Installed the Bilstein shocks on the rear. Tomorrow, I will do the front and install the Summo Super Spring coils in the rear. After that, she gets a total detail. I am going to clay bar, seal, and wax using Turtle Wax Ice. Then I am going to use 303 Aerospace protectant on everything I can. Last, we are installing/upgrading to tow mirrors, and I am servicing the differential with AMSOIL. Then she'll be ready for another 50. I just did an AMSOIL oil change last week as well.

Changed out the Andersen hitch with the 2" shank for the one with the 2 1/2" shank. Eliminated a LOT of play that I getting between the combination of 2" by 2 1/2" reducer and the 2" shank. Between the two, I had about 1 1/2" of play. Now I have about 1/2".

Yesterday - towed the camper about 50 miles to checkout brakes and bearings after maintenance.

Today - Gave it a much needed washing now that we've got a stretch of decent weather....

Absolutely nothing. After arriving at Ft Wilderness this past Saturday I won't drive the truck again until 6-4 so it just sits.
