  7. Got the mustang back today

    in Passing Lane

    Mustang looks good! Does suck you get it back just in time for Polar Vortex 2015. :lol:

     

    Had a 201x Suburban as a rental in Colorado. 2hr drive from Denver to Breckenridge, fully loaded with people and luggage/ski equipment, and I was still passing people at 70mph up the mountains at high altitude. Assumed it was a 6.0L, got to the lodge and popped the hood. CHUCK TESTA...it was the 5.3L. Very impressive powertrain performance for how large the tee-ruk is...

     

     

    Yeah, like the thing a lot. Toes very well.

     

    What do you mean you gave up on Ford? What kind of problems did you have with them?

     

    Axle issue is going nowhere. To many veraibles they say that are in known, claim abuse. I'll give them that. Bought the car to enjoy. Not to drive to church on Sunday. Over that issue. After trying to get them to fix the issue with paint bulbing on the hood of my car. And denying it. Mind you 10,400 miles on the car and still within the waranty period. Just tired of dealing with them. Have enough going on in life that dealing with them and being transferd from person to person just isn't worth my time anymore.

    Details on Yukon? Where did you find that deal?

     

    Guy was going to send it to junkyard. Had rusted brake lines. Shop it was at wanted 1,800 to do brake lines. Runs great. I put new brake lines and calipers on it, alternator because it was making some noise. Have a little over 1,000 into it. Even had new tires on it. 5.3 4 wd with 229k on it when I got it. Has just shy of 231k now. Towed with it a few times. Toes great. Radio sucks in it though. All the back lights are burnt out. Even the heated seats and rear ac and all that work.

    Agreed, new wheels will look awesome.

     

    Hope the car tracks straight-n-true once it's rolling again! FWIW, Our Passat got rear-ended by a drunk driver with barely 2k miles on the odo in 2000. Rebuilt, and still driving strong at 180k miles.

     

    I'm hoping so. Plan to keep the car and just enjoy it.

     

    Make sure the axle shaft is free of defects ;)

     

    In the process of trying to buy a house. Soon as I do it's getting put in the garage and rear end pulled. Need to find someone to weld tubes. If I decided to put gears in it need that done to. Not something I trust myself to do.

     

    Too soon...

     

    Nah. Shit happens. Didn't help I was enjoying the car for what it was made to do but shit happens. Still bitter lol

     

    Glad to hear you're getting it back this week Ryan! I'll plan to swing by the shop sometime to check it out.

     

    Won't be at the shop. Tired of shit getting scratched by people walking by it. Being stored in dublin till I find a house.

     

    Looking good how long did the repair take?

     

    Not long really. Been a lot of waiting on my part for changing parts and such. Plus told them to take there time and do it right. Not on a huge rush to get it back. Time to store it for winter anyways.
