What a huge difference the new throttle position sensor made! The truck ran well before it, but the CEL was always coming on, and the truck would hesitate at about thermostat-opening, and a few other times.

With the new TPS working with all the other components, it runs really terrific. I'll be fine-tuning it soon, but right now the F-150 is in my garage with a leaf-spring frame bracket rusted and tearing. About 1/2" of metal is keeping the rear end up on the passenger side. RockAuto and Advance sell the replacement part, and I have one at the ready...it's getting the old bracket off that's taking time...and the disintegrated rubber bushing.

Not that anyone here gives a rat's ass, but here are a couple pictures of my garden.
