    You'll really appreciate a good bolt action once you relocate. I believe i have a few shooting spots arranged for you. Start brushing up on your beer consumption. My nephew's a professional drinker.

    So, the wife comes home from taking the daughter to work and wakes me up at 5:30 in the morning and says the truck has rolled out into the street and she can't get it started to pull it back in to the driveway. I get dressed and go out and check it out. It won't go into park so I shift to neutral and start it up, pull into the driveway and it just will not go into park. I set the brake and put it into reverse and shut it off. No worries, it does not roll away. When the Ford dealership opens I call them and explain the issue and they say that they have seen this before, bring it in, there is a problem with the linkage, it will cost me about $200 to fix it. Shit! $200! I call a local independent garage and they tell me the same thing. Shit. Shit. I call the auto parts store to see if they might have the parts needed to fix it, explain the issue and the counter guy says, no worries, Ford trucks do this all the time. I have had a few Ford trucks and have NEVER had this happen before. The guy tells me that the linkage under the dash has two bolts that have come loose and allowed some sloppyness into the linkage, just tighten the bolts and should be good to go. I check out YouTube and there were a few videos that covered this issue.

    I get under the dash and believe me, for a big man like me, that was not so easy. I find the area he is talking about and sure enough, the bolt is loose. I go into my tool box and no T-30 to be found. I have the other sizes but not the T-30. I go over to the auto parts store, thank the guy behind the counter and ask if they have a T-30 torx. They don't. Neither did the store across the street but Ace Hardware did!

    I buy the T-30, tighten the bolt and all is well. So, the local guys tell me $200 +/- and I fixed it for $7.50. I hate working on cars but it looks like I am going to need to develop a fondness for working on my Expedition from now on.

    My Amigo does the same thing and I was the one who broke the linkage. I'd pay someone $200 to fix it in a heart beat!

    When you have time and it's not so cold, I would pull those bolts and put some locktite on them and re-install.

    Headed up to Ft Morgan to pick up my ccw renewal. Took a week longer than the original permit did.
