Thank goodness, I wasn't all that interested.

You REALLY want to know?
You will so regret asking
*pissy mode on*
It's giving me a pain in the ass.
Ok, lets see... last winter the pressure plate exploded on it. The day
before we had the worst weather of the season.
Hubby called me to come and get him, I called a tow truck and had it hauled
back to Lexington to a mechanic that we had used before. He seemed like he
was ok.
Moving to a new area is hard when you don't know people.
He repaired it and $500 later we pulled it out of the shop. We had been
stranded at the house for three days because while the truck was there we'd
had an ice storm and the Mustang wouldn't even leave the garage.
When he got it home, the 4wd shift motor decided to take a dump. It worked
in the parking lot at the mechanic's place I am told, but it was still $65
to have it diagnosed at the dealership because the mechanic didn't know how
to find the problem. I blame the mechanic for breaking something. Husband
does not. He says it is just an unfortunate coincidence, I say he hates
confrontation, he agrees. Either way, too late now.
THEN it needed tires (that's not so bad though normal stuff)
It started blowing fuses. For the vacuum pump.
AND THEN:
The vacuum pump died.
the actuator for the power lock on the drivers side went out - same week
I got a ticket in Arizona for no license plate light - also same week
We bought a replacement (used) vacuum pump, it died.
BUT the only damn wrecking yard that carries truck parts is over an hour
away from here, so run up and down the highway a few times.
We (I) replaced the actuator, it's working fine.
He backed into a pole, dented the tailgate a little and broke a taillight.
I did my best, straightened the taillight mounts and replaced the tailight.
It's ok now but still has a small battle scar on the gate. BUT the gate
needs to be replaced anyway.
When we bought it it had a bed liner on it, the tailgate was caved in, we
didn't know it.
Not my truck, but my irritation. Our fault, should have looked under the bed
liner.
Hubs still needs to fix the license plate light, his problem, his truck.
Bought a ford tech cd to help diagnose the problem. It arrived yesterday.
We won't go into "people who have techincal difficulties" so I found the
diagnostic for him, he is going to go through it today, I think while he
does I am going to go to the fair or to the lake.
Sooooo...
we have a 4wd truck, that isn't
Though, while typing this something crossed my mind.
Since the vacuum pump works with the 4wd, I wonder the problem is because
the 4wd motor has not been replaced, Maybe it thinks it is suppose to shift
in or out and it cant. Hmm...
So, you ask for it.
I'm sure it falls into the category of TMI
Oh yea, one more little thing, he scratched the tint when he removed the
door panel.
*chanting*
It's not my truck, it's not my truck, it's NOT MY TRUCK.
