This week alone I have spent about $300+ on Sally on her 2.3. I fix one thing and run into another thing. I'm trying to save $ for my bada** 5.0 swap and of course I'm trying to save $ for the 5.0 and one after another things are going on the 2.3L. This week, Sally still has the original front rotors and they were majorly warped! So Basically there was nothing left of them, so $130 at the local autozone for a new pair. Now I looked at my pads I replaced not too long ago, theyre still pretty thick, but there's 2 little crack on one on the right side
So have to replace them before I get her inspected in Sept. Now I had a major leak from the bottom of the water pump. So I went and spent $15 for a new gasket and teh right stuff gasket sealer. Took the water pump off, it's the orignal, scraped the old gasket off, put the new gasket on, sealed her up good, that's great. Now the dang front strut that was a pain to get off and put a new $60 one on has already went when I just put it on like 3 months ago if that. So replace that before Sept, but I'm putting new performance ones on for the 5.0 on her so I don't have to replace any of them again. Then now the tires are bald, I sit there and spin when it rains. So I'll prolly take the ones off the '89 5.0 and put em on with new tires on, more $ down the drain. Bought a new $40 o2 sensor for her and now its a big PITA because the old one is still the original and the guy that had it before tried to replace it and stripped it pretty good
So got to get the old one off and put the new one on. And then tonight go to take the girlfriend home, get in turn the key, dash lights come on for ONE second, then click all went out, dang alternators gone now! So there's another $120ish down the drain to get one tomorrow. Just rediculous the money it's taking to keep her together till the swap. She's got 137k miles but come on, one thing is fixed perfectly and another thing goes. Not too happy this week
