      Ok, so the driver's side window is getting really sllllooooowwwww.
      I ordered a new motor and interior door handle since it had a crack in the chrome.
      Also, the drivers heated seat stopped working yesterday. I looked into it (Google) and it turns out that Ford didn't make the ground for the Dual Control Seat Module (DCSM) large enough. Typically, the drivers seat goes first anyways. The fix is to install a new pigtail (WPT928) and take the extra pin next to the ground and tie it into the ground wire. Then proceed to splice in the remaining wires one by one.
      It's going to be so much fun because it's located under the passenger seat.

        That is how you're supposed to jack it.

                So I've had it for a year now. I put just over 23,200 miles on it this year, and that includes it sitting in the shop for 40 days after the collision with that fuckin deer.
                I put a K&N CAI on it in May, and I think it sounds perfect.

                      Oh look, a CAI that actually does not suck hot engine bay air! Did it come with that spider-like elbow that bolts onto the intake manifold above the throttle body, or is that actually a factory piece?

                      Oh, and stupid question, but this truck is based on the Expedition platform, right? What axles are under it, and does it have the independent setup in the rear?

                        The spider looks stock.

                          Yeah that's what I'm guessing as well, but at the same rate to see a design so clean and simple on a fairly new vehicle is a bit on the amazing side, lol

                            It's a solid axle rear with air ride.
                            I don't know what axles are in it.
                            It is based on the Expedition.
                            And that upper intake plenum spider is factory.

                              Hi.
                              I fixed the misfire.
                              Well, I broke off 5 of the 8 spark plugs in the head. Bought the tool from Leslie, and it worked perfectly. Got all 8 plugs out, and new Autolites are installed, along with a set of Accel coil packs.
                              It runs fantastic!
                              You should have seen the plume of smoke that went out the exhaust on start up. Each cylinder has PB Blaster and WD-40 in it, because I soaked each spark plug. It all ended up in the cylinders and burnt off on start up.

                              I reset the MPG counter on the way back from my parents house and hit 19.2 mpg average. That's the highest I've ever had, and I was driving normally; no hypermiling.

                              Unfortunately, it's already time to start thinking about winter.....
