I always see a lot of the previous generation GM pickups with busted out air dams and fogs.....

Afternoon!!

The old girl earned her keep this morning, I had to trailer an extra pick up over to our Munising yard and come back empty. Left at 6:40am and I got back twenty minutes ago.

Yeah. Gotcha.

Took the afternoon off to continue working on the boat and now it is raining. lol

Rebuilt the pulse fuel pump for the engine.

So far in the process I've removed all the fuel lines and taken out both tanks and cleaned them out. Clean as a whistle now.

The old lines were breaking down due to ethanol and the tanks had bad gas from the ethanol separation process where the alcohol attracts moisture, causing water in the tanks. Starting from scratch with the mercury fuel additives.

This is for peace of mind.

Some things are just worth the extra effort.

We got two 2013 F150's with the 5.0 and a couple Focus's in at work today. I went and checked them in as the driver unloaded them off the truck. As soon as he left I jumped in one of the 150's and went a couple miles down the road just to see what the 5.0 was all about. Wasn't too impressed with it at first since it felt like my 5.4 has more bottom end but once I got on it and it threw me back in the seat I fell in love.

Maybe when the 2013's are 10 years old I'll be able to get one

Got it all done except installing the bench seats.

The grey line is the new stuff.

I know the people who run that place. They don't like me. My brother was married to their granddaughter. But I might call my ex sister-in-law and ask. We still talk because I'm like a father of her son that my brother now dis-owns!!
