Hand washed 3 weeks worth of tree sap and pollen off of my excursion and sho. Very jealous of my neighbors pole barns. Wish all my stuff fit inside.
Last week the excursion developed a intermittent misfire, no cel. Had time to play with it yesterday, fuel pressure was good, cleaned the iac, no vacuum leaks. Contribution test showed neg value on #4 only. Pulled the coil and plug, plug was clean(only has about 5k on it). Coil is aftermarket, swapped for spare motorcraft and tadaa! No more misfires!
Priced coils from Ford this morning, $55 and change each even with my stepfather's employee price.
$55 x 10= maybe I won't replace them all preemptively.

Oh good grief, where do I start?
Mustang:
Of course, from when I picked up my Mustang at the garage I patronize earlier today. Noticed within the last couple of weeks a noise that sounds like an axle bearing/wheel bearing going bad - can hear it over the radio at 35-40 mph. Tech/Owner drove it home and back overnight and stated that it was just 'tire noise'. I drive my vehicles on a regular basis and know the difference. Checked driver's power seat on a whim and the fuse has apparently blown again - second time this year. Back to the dealer tomorrow for another pink $5 'high current' fuse.
*************************
Marauder:
Removed airbox completely for the first time. Trash and sand in the plastic tray under the air pump. Cleaned (vacuumed) out the trash and sand (as much as possible) and drilled three 7/16" holes using an extended length drill bit. Apparently water and trash were collecting there.
Attempted to install the newly acquired K&N CAI - inadequate fasteners included with the kit. Fasteners included for the air suspension compressor-muffler relocation and the MAF sensor relocation are too short. Had one for the muffler on-hand but not for the MAF sensor - pick'em up tomorrow. Remaining fasteners may be inadequate - too soon to tell.
********************************
Not having any luck at the moment finding someone locally who will do the J-mod/tail shaft lube modifications or the rear cylinder head cooling modifications.

Well Marauderers. Today I remove the car cover and wash and clean my Panther removing the dust of Sahara which can cause damage to the paint if you leave it long time after cleaned I put the cover again to protect the Panther from elements and sun.

Did a surprise beautiful smokey burnout and left 2 impressive stripes at the local mall at maybe 2/3 throttle with my wife in the car. I must admit scaring her gives me a pleasant jolt....
I was down by the Dupage airport with one of my boys the other day and showed him how there is never cops in that industrial park. [emoji16]
Felt good. Been quite awhile since I’ve done that. Applied about half brake while on the line lock, slowed to probably 20 downing to 1st and let rip at 6 grand for probably 40’ and shifted to 2nd just to see her fall on her face LOL. N/A SUCKS! At least it’s intercooled N/A! LMAO [emoji16][emoji12]

Greetings mang !, two problems my Panther was hit in the front driver corner but that not affect engine parts but time later it starts to leak coolant By the intake manifold affecting spark plugs and coils by the driver’s side causing a misfire and to make things more bad battery light start going on the battery and alternator was replaced for newer ones and even that still getting on.
