I've heard a lot of good about that particular generation of Sante Fes. We had an 06 Kia Sedona that was a problem child and turned me off of Hyundai/Kia but you aren't the first person I've heard speak well about those older Sante Fes.
What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2020]

That was the longest owned car I had that never was touched by a tow truck. We bought it used in '08 with less than 20K, was under a year old & was a rental car in Connecticut. Biggest issue was replacing the fuel sender switches cause the contacts were worn out.
Went to a member's only range this morning and did some plinking with my brother n laws Tikka T1x match level 22. Thing is fun to pop steels with. I haven't shot with a scope in years, and was able to hit a 1/4" plate at 75yds. Then couldn't take the clubs out at 35yds smh!
Popped some plugs in the 1500, dropped down a heat range from stock. Wondering if I have an O2 issue, but both are newish.
There is a creak in my daily, an 06 Ford Fusion. Everything is tight, and it only does it in warmer weather. It’s getting worse, and at 170k, I just ordered all the control arm/ ball joint assembly’s and a set of quick struts. My wife bought it new, I did the motor mounts and both outer tie rods last summer because they were toast. $200 for the control arms and complete struts just seemed like a no brainer.
Hopefully you have better luck than me.
I went for a quick log to sanity check my 98 GMC K1500. It makes about 4psi with the wee 1.6L Whipple twin screw at altitude. Tomorrow I set sail for MI and I wanted to see how stuff was looking in the areas of the maps I can't hit here. Got my fingers crossed on fueling, I think I'll run out of MAF, and pulled 7 degrees out of the tippy top of the map. I'd flat lined it a bit before that point and it needed to keep nose diving. I think I'll still have some knock retard, but my guess is low single digits. Super glad I cleaned this up and I can't wait to see how it pulls down there. I've never had the 1500 at a lower elevation with the blower. I ought to be around 7psi there. Really hope I don't run out of pump.

Took the front door off the house at 6:30 this morning to paint it. Got two coats on and I'm letting it dry over night before we put it back on.
