I know the feeling me and the wife bought a house in the Philippines in early 2000. Was a nice under developed area not crowded at all. She was there off and on over the years I was there in 2016 for a month still not too bad. Retired in 2023 went there for all of 2024 and night and day...
How can that happen? Covid proved the world is dependent on Chinese products. It is too late for that to change. China has a monopoly and the world knows it.
So true what you state I have said the same thing for years plus I would add we need to get rid of all lobbyists. Also after their term limit they need to go to the private sector and not a made up government job. We need to clean house and start over.
You can blame me and say I have no right to...
Good choice on ICON’s and doing it yourself. As I mentioned earlier the lift is greater then ICON says. I run heavy and started with option 3 back was up a couple of inches. Switched to option 2 and sit level now with 600 to 800lbs.
Not hard to do, and using Ford parts through Rock Auto it can be done for under $150 including gasket. Less then $100 when reusing gasket only fluid and filter. If done early and regularly a flush is not really needed. Always a chance to cause more issues with a full flush.

You could call Kevin at Mission Viejo Transmission (MVT) and get a honest price. They are too far from you, but that will give you an idea on a fair price. I have used him for over 20 years before I moved out of So Cal in 2023. Mostly for work I could no do, and one transmission on an Chevy...
If Ford does not cover it, I have the ICON and really like them. Some people complain about being noisy, but I have no issues with mine at all. If DIY make sure to do torque with full weight on the springs. They will raise the back depending on which setup you chose option 1, 2 or 3. If you run...
As they say enjoy life spending the kids inheritance. We legally gave our brand new house to our son, but still ours to come back to after traveling. Other then that we will probably spend our savings before we leave this world. He is left with a nice house free and clear only yearly taxes and...
You can get aftermarket springs for $800 to $1500 depending on brand. They are pretty easy to change or should not be more then a couple hundred to have someone change them out.
