    Washed and waxed yesterday. Removed rear cats today and ordered a tune from Moe's. Should be here before the week is over.

    Finally replaced the switches on driver side door panel (again), last set were cheapo repos. New ones are Ford — rip-off but you can even feel the difference and the LED s work again

    I looked at it in the garage as I walked past it this morning to go to work. Today is baseball practice and I am working in the field ... so the truck bed is full of tools. Hoping tomorrow she can be driven.

    Used a quality detergent based transmission fluid to wash the bottom.

    Picker her up from the body shop. So glad to have her back. One shiny headlight, and one yellow 14 year old headlight now... Yes, I ordered the other to match.

    New Tune!

    Got my tuner from Moe's Speed Shop today. Got it installed about 5 seconds after I opened the box. So far I really like it. Shift points are much improved, abs you can really feel the difference under part throttle acceleration. WOT is nice too, catches a nice second gear chirp now. Gonna be real nice once I get the 4.10's put in.

    Trying to resist going too crazy with it, I have a 92' Mustang coupe that normally takes all my money. The Marauder is replacing my 92' GMC Typhoon that I lost in the flood from Harvey.

    Finally got around to washing the filth off of it, vacuumed, wiped the int. down, and conditioned the leather.

    Then I threw the keys at my 15 yr old for probably his fourth time to practice in. The boy is practically a mini me, luckily minus the heavy foot I had. Excluding his RM 250 dirt bike.. I can barely keep up anymore!

    Modifying crossmember (basically cutting top of the crossmember so that mount can sit at the bottom), fabricating a bracket (really just welding three pieces together and drilling some holes in it) that allows the stock trans mount to work with the 6R and the modified crossmember, new drive shaft, harness, PBH shift lever and no, I won’t be using a stock MM motor.
