Got it ready to empty as much of the storage unit as we can get in mine the hoe and my dads f150

Why not rent a trailer and get everything in one trip? :dunno:

No need really. We can get all we need with the three vehicles and a trailer is too hot haha. Done it thrice.
What is the rush to get out of the unit?

Truck sat all day. Opened the windows in it around noon so it wouldn't get quite so hot in there. Rolled them back up about an hour ago.

No rush other than I'm tired of moving especially in this heat. We moved stuff from one unit to another 30 minutes away. Then one apartment to the new unit. Then another to our new place and today the stuff in the unit to the new place.

Still have stuff in the storage cuz they don't prorate but a climate controlled 10x15 for 68 for 2 months isn't bad at all. Gonna have a garage sale soon with the rest of the stuff we left in there.
Damn!! That's cheap! And especially with climate control!

Only paid 50 ofthe 150 for july cuz they had issues when we tried to move in and had to wait with a trailer for an extra day. And move jn special was 18 for first month

went over the suspension and the inter-cooler piping and realigned and tightened the clamps..

the fail of the day was.... i had disconnected the variable vane system for the turbo. forgot to connect it back up.. when i took it on a test run i blew a cloud of smoke... i guess no boost but tons of fuel will do that!!!! after i remembered that it was not connected, i plugged it and viola!!! boost!!! 28 pounds of it...

I'm going to drive it to pick up a paycheck, and then stop by the supply house to pick up a few things I need to side my house.

Nothing yet, but I am about to drive it to my Dr. appointment so they can drain some blood and drain my wallet at the same time. Then off to the pharmacy so they can drain whatever is left in my wallet.

That Stabilitrak still sucks! :lol:

Quit driving over your skill level and it won't kick in and tell you "no, you shouldn't want to do that. :nono:" :jester: :lol:

I'm assuming you've held the traction control button for 5 seconds until it says "stabilitrak off"? (Yeah, I know.. it's still on, just at a reduce sensitivity.) :lol:
