You guys can send all the rain you don't want down here to Florida. We are in desperate need of it. LOL

We have a ford F150 van that has a handicapped lift, when we bought it both of the manifolds were cracked and made a fair bit of noise when cold but once hot sealed themselves not too bad. I looked into replacing them with new cast iron oem's but the cost was up there. My son found a set of headers for it at one of the parts places and then I gave a friend of his a case of beer to install them. They fit really good and are pretty tight to the block. I will check with my son (he works for Dodge) and see what he can find out about headers. Do you want full length headers or shorties where they basically replace the cast ones. With full length you would have to redo the exhaust.
Don't run the carpet under the cabinets..... In our stick home some fool decided to put carpet in the bathroom and worst then that ran the carpet under the sink cabinet. Every time the toilet overflowed it would made a real mess. In the end I took the carpet out, Originally I cut the carpet at the cabinet but in the end I had to rip everything out and redo the floor and walls (they had glued the moulded marble backsplash to the walls (wall paper) as well as caulking along the edge. By the time it was off the wallpaper was trashed and then I had to strip the old stuff off, not pleasant. Once I got the sink cabinet out the carpet under it was all mouldy from every time someone spilled anything. If the carpet is installed after the cabinets and in the future you want (need) to change it it makes life a lot easier...

I installed a lighted switch to the Computer Fan that I built into the wall to vent the House battery box, It works great, I will add a 2ed lighted switch for the fan that I will be building into black water vent pipe, There will be no need for any black tank deodorizers, This fan left running for weeks still would not drain the batteries< they only draw .002 amps so it can be left on with no problem,...I'm going in the morning to get what is needed to build the lower cabinet that holds the sink and stove, I will be building that and installing the sink and stove Fresh water tank and run all of the pluming, OH yeah also will be installing the carpet, I can not build the lower cabinets until the carpet is installed.

Are they held on with glue or what.??
actually looks like a great place for a side terminal battery if you're worried about the posts contacting metal hood. A length of epdm molding from home depot will stop the rainwater getting in the engine. I replaced the cheap foam gaskets (they age and fall apart) in my cargo doors with epdm.
