Like @Rtball and @Dr. Zaius I too have the Valvomax kit, got one on both the Ranger and the Focus. Way easier than before. The install on the Focus was a little bit tighter, I was not sure it was going to work at first., I also like that if the ball fails the cap that keeps it clean should also prevent a sudden loss of all the oil.

I use the femco valve very similar to the valvomax. Make it easier and less messy. As for today I finished wiring in my 2 way radio and hard wired my Valentine. Decluttered the console area by doing this. Sure have been enjoying the new suspension. It rides so much nicer.

Designed and printed these guys so I could control the angle of the dangle on my dual hose inflator. With these, the hoses lay flat against the door and hang straight when the doors open. This makes it easy to take them down and put them away.

Thanks for reminding me Ed @Fordup. I need take my truck to the car wash and give it a bath after driving to the river earlier in the week.

They recently put down another layer of tar and gravel on our road and everything is covered with dust. We lived in a dust cloud for a week until it finally rained yesterday. First and last black vehicle for me.

I agree with you on that. This is the second black truck that I have had and it is going to be the last black vehicle that I have. The next truck will either be white or blue.

I've had 2 black F150s and while they look great when they're clean that usually only lasts about 15 minutes. lol

If I ever get another black vehicle it wont be a daily driver and it'll be a sports car that I barely drive. As much as I love detailing I don't like being a slave to it.

When I bought my truck, I didn't really care about the color as long as it wasn't black.

I just wanted it equipped the way I wanted.

It turned out to be a white one.

After now having it 6+ years, I find I really like the white.

My moment of clarity with black vehicles came when I had a black Camaro SS with black leather interior and T-tops.

Was like getting into a skillet in the summer.

Car was junk, but the engine was magic...
