No one has ever bugged me about my old vanity plate (BUGGOFF) on the front of mine either. It plainly has a 1992 sticker on it though. That was on my VW Beetle I had in high school. I guess most folks just assume I want to be left alone. Hmmm. They may be right.

I would advise you to cover the 2nd plate when you go to Canada.

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
Finally brokedown and installed a new radio/gps/web enabled shinny thing in the dash.
Dam its pretty nice and not what I really wanted but it does clean up a bunch of cables I had going everyplace.
I went with Kenwood DNN770HD and had it installed with a couple switchs for rearview camera a d dimming. Whats bad is they spent a bunch of time trying to do a firmware update and get my phone to connect for WIFI and they gave up tell next week when thay could call.
People that know me know that I cant let something like that kick my ass and so it is now updated and the hotspot works. The update just worked after I reset it and plugged the usb in so not sure what I did on that and the phone it seems Android does not like ' in the wifi name and all apple stuff puts one in.
BTW I went to get a Pioneer unit like SOMEBODY had to post earlier but ended up with a pretty coool HU.

Hey Goosberry --
What's that device below your new Kenwood, with the oval Ford button on it?

Re: What did you do to your SMB today?
My EGR valve was stuck which caused a P0404 code. Drove all the way from Bishop to San Diego spewing black smoke. I'm trying out a new diesel service here in San Diego; so far so good. They unstuck (cleaned) that and also cleaned the Mass Air Flow Sensor (their suggestion) and I had them install the blue spring fuel pressure regulator kit. 4.5 labor hours. Everything working fine again. I also got an estimate from them for some bullet proofing; BP EGR cooler, OEM oil cooler, BP water pump, turbo upgrades. Something to take care of all this pesky cash just laying around!

Glad you got everything taken care of. What service center did you use? I'm still looking for someone in San Diego.
