We fixed all our Van problems!

[rpenner54]

Yup we sure did!!!!

It was a bit of work but in the end it turned out a bit better. Swapped the engine out for a 4.6L and the body out for an Expedition.


Okay so we just traded it in. Got a pretty good deal too! We are happy.

congrats Now it's time to mod the Expy!!!

 

[Digger196]

LIFT IT!!!!!!!! HAHA. what year/ model ya get? we have one and it is great for trips!

 

[rpenner54]

Its a 2000 XLT Loaded, no leather but thats about it.

No mods for a while, however a Cat-back may be soon. One modified truck is enough.

 

[Digger196]

One question: Isn't this vehicle ... hers

"Everything thats yours is mine, and everything thats mine is mine"

LOL True, so true Well, maybe Ryan gets to post about it while Maranda is driving it

 

[Maranda]

That's right! Actually I really want Ryan to get something but he wants to wait a little longer. His front end is shot. We drove an '00 F250 Powersmoke 4 door short bed at the dealer last night--oh man! The numbers were good, but we want a better cushion now that things are on the upswing again...

We took the first one (2000) back over $2000 and a funky oil pressure problem, dealer wouldn't budge. NOW we have an '01 with 22K, silver, not loaded, with a bench seat in the front so it seats 9. We like the bench in the front without that center console for uh... things anyway.

 

[Stephen]

Glad to know things are going well for you guys.

 

[Maranda]

We fixed Ry's Exploder problem also--front end is toast. Got a '95 F150. Nothing like buying a house and 2 cars in 1 week, sheesh. Please sir, can I have some more financial pressure? I don't like dealers that much, but we did work with some decent guys this time. I still always feel a little had when I walk out of there! But we're happy with what we ended up with.

Solid axle swap coming someday, so we can get the Sport back out there.

 

[Stephen]

Wow, congrats again!

Nice of you to spot Ryan a new truck too Maranda. Makes him happy

 

[rpenner54]

LOL well it really wasn't by choice. It was A) swap out the entire front end and make the explorer run. B) buy a new truck that costs around the same amount and just have something that I can keep driving every day.

Life is fun eh?

Lets just say I was driving home in the Explorer and I had some deathwobble, then I blew out the front bearings and a hub! LOL So basically my front axle was toast.

 

[Stephen]

Yikes...
