well for those of you that know me i bought mikes (sonic04edge) truck a 95 reg cab 2.3 manual.....im goin to get another thread up soon to reintroduce you folks to it...anywho ive done some work to it already...ac compressor, dryer/reciever, new radiator, hoses, belt, tranny mount, just got on advance auto and ordered new rotors and thermo quite wagner pads, motor mounts, vapor canister, motorcraft fuel filter, motorcraft plugs and wires, timing belt, front crank seal set, rear main seal, and goin to ford in the morn to get new DPFE sensor and hose....also plan on puttin all this in next weekend along with my new 373's to help the 2.3 turn my 16" 245/75 FX4 wheels and tires over...the cool thing about advance was that they're runnin a 20% off promo if you order online...my total was $433.?? and final total came out to $367.21.. i know some may not like advance but it was perfect for me because im just lookin to keep truck in good shape and operating properly without having to spend a ton on an older truck.

 

cool! advance always has decent sales going on online, and their online prices are cheaper than in store as well

 

Good deal.

 

x2, I got a $30 off $75 purchase the other day, can't beat that. Be careful about doing the pick up in the store though. For some reason the stupid moron working the counter had a huge issue with figuring out my order even though I did it all online and all she had to do was pick out the stuff and let me sign the paper. But no, I had to wait for the f'in manager to get there and he had it done in 5 seconds.

 

LOL!! naw i had mine delivered to my house since some of the stuff wasn't in stock anyways....also got free shipping since it was over $75 and also got a $50 gift card since it was over a $100...lol gotta love that!!

 

Glad to here your working on it again Josh..and finally getting the stuff Fixed...! I plan to be down for Christmas as usual..and We Will get a little mini meet Going this year....!
Mikes trying to talk me into Body lifting my truck for christmas so we will see!

 

Thanks!! and look fwd to ya comin down.....yeah we could knock a BL out pretty quick!! LOL!!

 

i demand pics of said truck

 

LOL!! i will deliver this weekend..been hectic week...father-n-law is in hospital with congestive heart failure....sister-n-law had a baby yesterday and the cord was tight around her neck and had to be rushed to another hospital and then tonight at church my lil girl all but ripped her toe nail off and wife took her to ER...lol what a week!!!!

 

Hey Josh...chance I may be down not this weekend but maybe the next..to deliever a gift to mike maybe..if things play out right...! lol may take some pics of all 3 trucks together then..
yeah....

 

The online-order pick-ups are confusing as ****...we still have to run it through the computer, and if the manager hasn't printed out the pick-up sheet at his desk then we have to wait on that. But if all of the paperwork was done then she was just DA. the hardest are batteries, because most of the time the core charges don't show up in our computer.

 

I'll suply pics from when I owned it lol.

This was when I got it.





This was shortly before I sold it to Josh.

 

WHAT!?!? its not even thanksgiving yet!! LOL JK!! that'd be cool man!! and i cant wait to see this present that you speak of!! next weekend is when im gettin all this work on truck done!! called justin last night he's hookin me up on a DPFE sensor new so thats another cost cut down!!

LOL!!! i can get some thompsons water seal and treated wood!! lol UM NO!!! LMAO!!

 

Well if it can put up with the harsh environment of Niagara Falls, then its fine to use in a light-duty pickup truck.....ROFL

Lol, UPS has never given me any problems. I've watched them go across the street and look around and then drive over to my house though. lol I'll never use fed ex though. Heard of wayyyyy too many problems with them.
