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.

I heard shadow ops is going to tool up again for that pen-gun.

:D

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.

Just over 2 weeks, original was nine days.

Shooting sounds good. I'll certainly take it easy on the drinking though...

< OR > you could have asked us first, and we would have given you the info sooner. Nice job on fixing it yourself though. I will add that the Ford shift shafts ( E and F series for sure) have plastic bushings (2) that wear over time, and need to eventually be replaced. ALSO, the shift handle TO the shift shaft PIN/HOLE will get hogged out over time as well. I've replaced so many of these over the years..the biggest factor is rapid handle movement and/or attempting to shift before foot is on brake pedal, and "slamming" it back up into PARK frequently. The only other thing that could stress the shift selecting system would be a shift cable that was offering too much resistance due to friction in the cable....and helping to loosen those bolts at the bottom of the shaft where the cable attaches on the pin. ETA... ALSO the pressure from the return spring at the bottom of the shaft assembly helps to wear out the the plastic bushings.

Bazinga.. :)

Good luck with that. BTW, I didn't forget your email. I've just been hammered with work lately. It might be next week before I get to it. Is that okay?

LOL! Our shop went from 8 people to 2 in less than a month with no replacements in the pipeline. On top of that, our workload almost doubled. Lately, I've been working some very long hours for a space guy! ;)
