Did the noise go away when you started driving again? I caught a big bolt in the wife's tire and when I first stopped to check, I couldn't find it because I expertly stopped on top of it.

I was on top of it when I stopped too. Flap flap all the way home. Then I found the screw and flap flap I drove and got it fixed. All good now even though it sucked being new tires and all. But shit happens. My baby had a little boo boo and she's better now thanks

The same day I had the bolt fixed in the wife's car, I got my own tire repair kit. Have used it already and super easy. Anyway, glad you got it taken care of and are good to go now.

Get a patch kit. It takes 10 minutes to do, and the tire is good to run full pressure. A competent shop can still unmount the tire, ream out the patch, and do a proper fix after. Only thing it can't fix is sidewall damage, but you're pretty much SOL anyway if you've got that.

Yeah shogun did it pretty quick. Wasn't side wall which happened with my old tire where I had to get it replaced. I'll keep a patch kit in my car. So far so good, I drove like 7 hours afterwards yesterday. And this morning psi was still the same on that tire.

assuming you KNOW how to get the sticky-string to work correctly. And they don't always work. The Stop-n-Go is superior solution with no 'technique' needed.

But seriously, who does this stuff themselves anymore. We 'just call the guy' like all other helpless first-world'ers do.

Well now we both know it works. Next time I'll be able to do it myself with an easier patch kit.

Post-consumer upgrade package for an F-150, not a Shelby. It's a Ford, upgraded and rebadged by Shelby. They also start well over $100k.

Thanks for info on FAKE SHELBY TRUCK . Junqdawg

The Swiss must’ve been pretty confident in their chances of victory if they included a corkscrew on their army knife.

I mean, the Shelby badges they put on it are real

I saw SAME PICKUP @ store yesterday . It had Turbo Charged badges on it . along with all the "SHELBY BADGES " How do they get by SHELBY to use "THOSE" badges . Surely Shelby has a Patent on Name use . Just curious . THnx. Junqdawg

I could be some ones personal truck and they just bought the badges and slapped them on. What's to stop any one from from slapping shelby badges on a clapped out pinto, or anything else? Maybe the owner is just a poser.

You take an F150 to Shelby American, they install some upgrade, add the badges, and overcharge for the privilege. As I said, post-consumer upgrade package. It's not built by SA, but they've waved their magic wand over it.

AMEN ... UNDERSTOOD >>> Still a real Beauty , Gotta be 100K Plus I'm guessing .. Junqdawg

I saw his paper dealer tag and emailed the dealer that sold it and got the whole story . . Is there "EVEN " a PINTO still on USA roads these days ? In the wrecking yard ,we pulled the motors and "CRUSHED THE REST " and sent the GAS TANKs TO CHINA .......Junqdawg

A sure sign that you’re getting old is when people start saying “you still got it” in regards to any skill you may have.

And 10 years on Tuesday, 10 on Wednesday, etc.
