Back on topic, these just arrived :)

Had an '82 B2, '83 A1 & a '85 B3, still have some GPz11 parts laying around including a complete lower end. :) Would buy another '83-'85 in a heartbeat if the right one showed up... like this example:

I would much prefer that this vehicle never see's the inside of a service dept ever again (except warranty work if needed).... I know about the deal that allows owners to do oil/filter changes without affecting the warranty & any damn fool can rotate the tires, but what about this "safety...

The hunt continues for a service dept that I'm comfortable with. Today's call was going well until the gal I was talking with put me on hold for a moment to go check the SM 50251 /TCU issue with the service manager. She came back with 'The service manager asked me to tell you there are three...

It sure seemed like it when I asked a question, but the rest of the conversation was conducted like she had a pulse.

You would think the trained oil change monkey at the dealer would have been supervised sufficiently well to complete the basic task without pissing oil all over. I am loathe to let a dealer* anywhere near an oil change because I know what kind of clueless idiot gets the job. * or any place like...

Cleaned the lift gate, windows & the wheels. Ran errands. Taped a plastic shopping bag over the left mirror again. This is because a pair of sparrows have decided that the window trim by the mirror is the perfect place to conduct mating rituals & random crapping. This started on Friday...

It's gone downhill. Costco was robbed twice at the weekend & the store where I buy lottery tickets got hit by three idiots who stole $1000 worth of cigarettes yesterday. This puts them $50 over the "won't do anythng about it" limit set by Benito Newsolini. However, the same three idiots showed...

It absolutely pissed down here today. I am now all up to speed with front AND rear wiper controls/speeds etc.. However, I live in the Mojave Desert & will most likely forget by the next time it rains.... In other news: I still retain my British rain driving skills & had no problem driving a...

That night work for the first of the three... then he gets a email from Ford about an oil change on a vehicle he sold months ago... LOL!!

It's a 2020 with a November 2019 build date.... & didn't get sold to the first owner until Sept 2020... which in itself is somewhat suspect. I've managed to find the original owner with my amazing Google-Fu. I've sent him a msg on FB. I think AutoNation reneged on the loaner deal when they saw...

After re-reading the paperwork from the local Ford dealer yesterday, (that dropped AutoNation in the shit) I discovered the previous owner paid for maintenance services in advance.. & there are still three remaining. I'm a bit deaf & the gal at the local dealer said something I didn't quite hear...

Called AutoNation... That didn't go well. The first time I spoke with someone & when she put me on hold she put me through to someones voicemail that was too full to take any messages instead *click* redial... Second call.. Service drone wants us to drop the ST off for three days.... Asked...

There was another guy in the service dept listing a litany of electrical issues. I looked out the window expecting to see another ST, but he was driving a new Expedition. He was on first name terms with the service dept guys..

Ford dealer told me "your modem is deactivated" (they also told me it's had the trans out for a gasket replacement in the bellhousing at some point... which AutoNation flat out lied about) Ford Connect told me "take it to the dealer & tell them SM50251, that will wake it up"

First longish trip caused pain. It's been fine since. I guess my ass adapted

Gave it another try today. It tells me it can't find the modem when I try to turn on the hotspot... (at the same time it's using wifi to check for updates) It has Sync 3 (V3.4) & 21194 I should have stuck with my F350 LB/CC Dually with the 460CJ under the hood.

We figured out they all have the ground strap from the engine to the strut tower. It's just that there are three locations on the tower it can bolt to & it could be mounted to any one of them. With that said, I'd probably remove it at the tower end & clean the paint off the tower to ensure a...

Guy I know has an Audi. I can always tell when he's taken it in for an oil change because of the oil on the driveway for a week. This also happened with his previous 4 or 5 vehicles. No idea where he takes them, I don't want to ask in case he asks me for help & I just KNOW it will result in...

tbh, I'm still not sure what I did that stopped it.
