Dang... kiss the modding goodbye for a while
Had to take my F150 in for repairs yesterday.
It was dead in the driveway on Sunday.
Kicked over no problem, but not even a hint of trying to run.
I suspected the fuel pump.
Got a call with good news this a.m.
Fuel pump OK, it was just a corroded connection behind the fuse block.
It was due for brakes so I had them check them while it was in.
an hour later got a call.....
-needs front rotors & calipers & rear drums
"...OK go ahead."
an hour later got a call.....
- when we got in there we found one bad tie rod.
"...OK go ahead."
an hour later got a call.....
- when we did the tie rod we found that the upper ***** where completely done, they have to be replaced.
"...OK go ahead."
...good thing I've known this guy for almost 20 years
Bottom line ~ $1,600 in repairs & good bye modding for a while

Ouch Sounds like a few of my bills on my 97 Z71, I guess these things will catch up with us on these go anywhere rides.
That Ford is your workhorse.
I'm sure you will still have a few mods to keep you busy during the next few weeks.

Yeah... no complaints overall.

Pushing 400,000 km on it & still running like a top.
With the new suspension bits, it was like driving a new truck to work today.
