Me, I spent another 20 mins cleaning love bugs off the front of my grill and windshield after a 30 minute drive in the country. Can't wait until these things disappear!

Well... having a 2003 in the northeast... I replaced both front hubs (4x4), replaced rear brakes, rotor's, calipers as well as dust shields, parking brake shoes and hardware and rear axle seals.

Thanks, Just bought the new TT and pick it up on Friday. I had no doubts that the Ecoboost would pull it, but after doing all the math with the wife and three dogs along I had about 51# to spare on the rear GAWR and that was just too close for comfort.
It's got the 6.2L gas engine, another 9k for powerstroke was just going to hurt too much to swing.
Also it's the DW daily driver during the week and she didn't want to hassle with a diesel during Chicago area winters. Happy wife, happy life.

Yes, it can get a little nippy in/around Chicago in the winter.

  The list is Long
New wiper blades, flushed the rad, checked brakes (are Find) changed air filter, changed oil, fixed the back, light (Backup Light) was broken. They even fixed the rattle underneath ( exhaust) Now I will not be able to come up behind them and scare them. I will be Stealth
Fixed up all the battery cables for me. There was a problem!
Now I just have to put the boat back on the truck.
Will vacuum and wash. Going to lend the pressure washer to a friend, better make sure that it works.
Between the truck and trailer, I may have to get another job, I have 3 already  . Canadian Girl.

Just added four Autometer gauges (pillar mount): Pyro (Exhaust Gas Temp), Trans temp, Water temp and Turbo Boost. Also upgraded my smallish stock 7.3L transmission cooler to the 6.0L Powerstroke trans cooler (twice the surface area). Next mods will be larger-flow exhaust and towing program chip for a little more HP. Love my '99 7.3L Powerstroke (had it 15 years).

Installed 4 brand-new O2 sensors. Got tired of looking at the check engine light. Figured while I had it up on Jack's for one I may as well do all four. Why do They have to put the wire plugs is such tight inconvenient spots with NO extra length to move them to where I can get my hands on them? Gave the engine and lubes a once over and everything looked great. Now to bring the camper to the driveway so I can work on it. Gotta get it straight for a one nighter Wednesday. Found a New place to scuba dive and we're gonna check it out.

Finally got it back from the dealer and they actually fixed what I've been telling them all along. No, I am ready to travel with a safe TV.

I just ordered these. Premium Dimpled & Slotted Brake Kit Did you research much before you bought yours? I didnt .Hope they work out. Cant be worse than the rusted ones on there now. Shame is theres about 70% left on the pads.
