I had a Compustar Alarm and remote starter installed yesterday and this morning I changed the tensioner and Idler pullies and the fan belt.

Drove it the first time in about 2 weeks... No water leaking... wonder if its the damn heater hose / heat core that I can't find it leaking until it gets hot enough or something... Guess I will just have to keep it while I wait for my new truck...

Yesterday, I took some pictures of her flexed out, got buried in some sugar sand, well framed, had my buddy in his Chevy come pull me out and romped through over a foot of water, and almost hydrolocked the 302.

When all I planned on doing was taking flex pictures.

Haha

Took the throttle body off and cleaned the whiz out of it today; now it's nice and shiny, and sprayed a ton of throttle body cleaner into the intake along with adding yet again another zip tie to the throttle cable b/c of slack. Dang that throttle body had been neglected. The truck idles and takes off so much smoother now.

Took it to the neighborhood Ford Fix it Shop to have a new clutch put in. Wanted to take a crack at installing a new one myself but it was lightly snowing this morning and a one car garage makes that job sound just a little un-appetizing.

Drove to the ramp, took the boat out for 5 hours, froze my butt off, pulled the boat out, washed it again, now we sit and wait until we can fish again in the morning...

Pat if they give me enough on trade its theirs... If not its getting a new motor and going to the father in laws until I want to play with it again.

Anyone know if the new Eco-boost will fit in an Edge frame?

Changed oil, installed k&n air filter, changed battery terminals, went to crank it up and click.....nothing. So, I went to charge my battery and it started to swell. I'll just have to buy a new battery tomorrow. Not a good day.
