Cut / trimmed, and installed brand new black carpet with an extra layer of automotive padding.

Gave a good sweat in this Texas heat, but very worth it, though.

installed pre 04 center console/cup holder and alon maglite mount

 

I had the oil changed and used Mobil 1 again. Tires rotated, and my ASE certified mechanic spotted a problem with my steering system, he said that there was a stabilizer pin in the steering system that was broken and recommended replacing both of them on the front wheels, cost to replace the pins was about $150.

I knew something wasn't right in the front end and there was a random clunking sound I'd hear once in awhile. He said the pin could possibly puncture a tire and would cause a problem. So I had him fix it. He also said my front brake pads are getting thin, and need to be replaced. He wanted to replace rotors, pads, and a bunch of other stuff and ran the estimate up to $600, and I decided I need to shop around or just put a set of pads on myself.

Update: the clunking sound that was in my steering system is now gone.

 

Pulled out the stock Ford AM-FM radio and slipped in a JVC CD player/receiver. Oh, and I washed the truck.

 

Nothing it is in ypsi while im in rochester going to school

 

Today I put a new K&N Intake kit in my truck. Tool me a little more than an hour, would have been shorter but had trouble getting the alternator bolt loose to mount the kit.

Detailed the interior and washed it.

Waxing tomorrow, what should I use for pads? I have some CLEAN blue rags I was gonna use...

 

Did the OHC mod, put new rotors pads shoes and brake hardware on.

 

I had new front brake pads put on and while he had it apart I had the mechanic re-pack the front wheel bearings with grease. It runs and handles like a new truck now. All ready for winter now.

Worried about my truck not charging and blowing fuses...

I sat in it for one last time...
