    Whoa! I’ll assume it’s an incredibly weird coincidence that you give me that specific nickname? My friends are going to lose their minds when I share this story 😮🤪

    Hey Larry. It took me a while get around to putting that radio in but it works great! I think the issue with the old one burning out was caused by my own stupidity. Anyway it sounds great. Thanks again!

    That works. And yes I do need it. I don’t seem to be getting notifications when you’ve replied to me.m though. So, I’m sorry if I’m slow to respond.

    I was just reminded tonight that my brothers step kid is a dealer rep for Ford here in the Twin Cities. He says he can get the replacement programmed for cheap if not free. So I’d be all set and extremely grateful.

    Hi Larry. That would be amazing! How do we get the shipping paid for? Thanks.

    Thanks swshawaii. That reminds me of another reason for having the stock radio in there. I mean, I’m someone who hates to see people go without but my sympathy ends at busting up my truck and taking my stuff!! Also, I’m not an audiophile (just upgrading the speaks is a great idea) and this radio...

    Cigarette lighter is working fine. Like I said EVERYTHING else works. Just not the radio.

    I’ve been considering an aftermarket radio but the stock radio and speakers were barely used and sounded great (to me). Stock radios aren’t all the easy to find. Upside of a stock unit is I don’t have to pay a dealership for programming and I don’t have to permanently alter the dash. Anyway none...

    LOL. Am I even doing this right by replying to my intro post?

    So I recently had to replace the alternator on my ‘01 Job 2. Im a cheapskate so I bought a used alternator online which was fine except for the fact that I wasn’t paying attention to the amperage factor. So I installed a used 90 amp alternator and as you’d expect it carried me for about a week...
