When you compare the initial cost and maintenance cost over a 100,000 mile life, the gas engine is much cheaper. I've heard alot of good things about the v10, I thing you are on the right track. What's the final price tag going to be on the supercharger, I may want to check on one for my 4.6 Expedition. Good luck! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Benne" To: "Trucks Ford" <97up-list ford-trucks.com> Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2000 7:26 AM Subject: [97up-list] Supercharging > I have a 99 F350 S/C 4x4 w/V-10.

Peggy and I are back from her grandfather's funeral. We decided that there wasn't much point in staying the entire weekend and left a couple of hours after the funeral. He was a very good man who's been suffering with cancer for months. If you'll indulge me for a few sentences.... I hold in high regard anyone, regardless of their faith (ie, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, etc) who can follow that faith 100%. Its something I have a very difficult time doing. Peggy's grandfather, "Doc", was one such man who, as a country physician, had helped countless individuals and practiced medicine in his retirement home to the very end. Very well loved man who had a sincere belief in his God and did his best to help others, even to the point of being taken advantage of. I didn't know him very long, but his death touched me deeply. I think his dying words said it all... "For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith" 2 Timothy, 4:6-7 Can you imagine going out with those words? Hearing it left me speechless. Anyway, I have received numerous messages of condolence from fellow FTE'rs, and rather than attempt to answer them all I'll say here to everyone.... "thank you." I mean it sincerely and it was nice coming home to it. I'll be taking care of FTE administrative items and will catch up by the end of the weekend. Thanks, Ken Payne Admin, Ford Truck Enthusiasts ------------------------------ From: "Carole Helmig" Subject: Re: ADMIN: I'm back Date: Sat, 26 Feb 2000 21:57:43 -0700 How can I get off this list!!

Your sensitivity and patience would have been appreciated. Per your request, made in front of 100's of list members, you've been removed. Ken Payne Admin, Ford Truck Enthusiasts ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2000 07:45:39 -0500 From: Ken Payne Subject: Forgive my outburst Gang, I wanted to apologize for my last email blasting that person in public. It was not warranted. I guess I've been under a lot of stress, but that's really not an excuse for treating someone badly. Back to the topic of Ford trucks, I'll be posting a couple of news articles on the web site this evening about the new SuperCrew. Ken Payne Admin, Ford Truck Enthusiasts ------------------------------ From: "Nicholas Androulidakis" Subject: Re: ADMIN: I'm back Date: Sun, 27 Feb 2000 10:15:01 -0500 Does anyone know about the oil-drain replacement valves for the V10? I tried Fumotovalve.com, but it doesn't seem to be responding. Thanks.
