What have you done to your vehicle lately?

[TxStetson]

I’m trying to keep myself interested so I don’t get some crazy idea like getting a new-truck payment

That gets harder to do every day. Yesterday the local Chevy dealer offered me $8k more for my truck than I paid for it brand new 5 years and 98k miles ago.


Eta: Of course, if I replaced it with a new one it would be $25-30k more expensive.

Wow!!! My 2020 Trailboss traded for just under $30,000 2months ago
So they must have offered you close to $50k trade on a 2019
Just tell them to buy it from you straight out!

That's just insane man.

Someone said they might be interested in the old Z so I sprayed the moss off it

For my 2016 Expedition, cleaned various sensors (MAP, MAF, air temp), throttle body, fuel injectors, drained the intercooler (1" of yucky) and transmission fluid change.

For my wife's 2015 Cherokee, cleaned MAF sensor, throttle body, and added 2 oz. of Instant Shudder Fixx to the transmission. Never used Shudder Fixx before, and the difference was instantly impressive!

Walked out to the truck a couple hours ago, and saw it. A dreaded dark spot under the front, about 24” diameter. Coolant leak. Thankfully I was prepared for it. Known issue with the Coyote V8 where the oring on the quick connect “Y” gets hard over time and leaks when cool, which it was last night. Ford re-designed the o ring, and I already bought a new one about two years ago but never got around to installing it. 15 minute job and under $10 part. I kept putting it off because I *hate* dealing with coolant, but today was my motivation unfortunately.

I love those cars. Semi put myself through college rebuilding 240/260/280 engines.

It was cold so new batteries including the anti-corrosion battery terminal treatment.

This one has Italian improvements.

I brought my 3.5yo bike battery indoors 2 days ago and today I put it on a tender. With nothing but strong starts during that time, I was surprised it took 2.5hrs to reach a full charge and go to maintainer.

Got my new carbs yesterday. Big 97s. Ordered linkage and stuff today.

65 Mustang....
Ordered a new distributor, steel drive gear, new roll pin for new gear, plug wires and separators, just stupid shit you didn't plan on spending money on.
Summit Racing has it all and all the time.

Changed the plugs on the 3.5 Ecoboost in the Expedition. What a PIA! My big hands had a hard time trying to get the coil packs pull out.
After that, I installed an Oil catch can on it. We'll see just how much blow by this engine has.
This was my dad's truck, I've never been a fan of the Ecoboost motor's, or Ford's for that matter.

New seatbelts. Strapped in nice and tight. Don’t want the authorities having to search too far for the bodies.

Not exactly the vehicle, but we upgraded our old Coats 220 manual tire changer for a pneumatic changer. Interestingly enough, adjusted for inflation it costs about what the manual changer cost 20 years ago. Over the years we changed a couple of hundred motorcycle tires with the old one. Looking forward to letting the machine do most of the work.

 

[Lonesome Dove]

Parts are trickling in and a few more added to the initial list but you know how that goes.

New battery and spark plug for the vespa.

While removing riding gear Monday, 2 people walked into our tiny - rural tax office , 1 remained when I entered.
Paid mine and walked out, all that in <10 min.

Does anyone use that specific pocket air compressor? Thoughts?
It's the only one I've seen that's both USB-c and 12v cig lighter chargeable.

If you have something similar tell us about it, good or bad.

If I'm on the Tiger I take my ryobi along.

The 2015 Cherokee got fresh coolant today at 76k miles. Jeep claims the coolant lasts 100k miles, but the test strips showed otherwise.
