Thumbs up I'm back!!!!!!!

Those who may remember me as Baddfx4, I am back......I have been overseas for a long time (about 6 months) I have been doing some work for a company. All this time I have been gone, my dad have been driving my truck, and it has been running great!!! Since I had new headstuds put in after I blew the gaskets, I had a dealership to perform the warranty work on the truck, they put on new heads, turbo, intake, gaskets, and even better, new headstuds! (Yes, they paid for them) All I have to pay is $100.00 deductible and it is done! It was done by Boyd County Ford in Ashland, KY. So again, just wanna say hello!

That is one helluva deal if they did all that and sprung for ARP studs as well and all you had to do was the deductible. They are a rare find indeed.

Yours is still far cleaner then mine. Truck used for a horse business gets dirty awful quick and then I'm naturally too lazy to clean it even though today would have been a wonderful day to do it. Back to your question, it works wonderfully. Low end has a little more git up and go, which helps out alot when towing the horse trailers. I'm going to try to match fuel with air and get a bigger fixed turbo(either a 62 or a 64, I think Matt is going to surprise me one which one as they both cost the same). If your towing, I would recommend these mods in a heart beat, I have enjoyed this truck to no end since I had them done, I even look forward to doing the little town hops when before I was a little squimish just because I was wanting to have longer trips every time I drove it, but now I have too much fun and I've stopped caring too much about it(I won't fully stop caring, but I don't vocalize it as much as I used to). If there is anything in particular your wanting to know let me know and I'll try to answer it as best as I can. Hope this was helpful.

Thanks guys, I was doing some "Q" level (highest a civilian can get) and other goverment-issued clearances (Top Secret) security work in the Middle East, cannot say where or what kind of work I do.
I know this may sound funny, but that is all that I am allowed to say, Sorry!

Thats great your advertising you security clearance on the internet. How many people do you think you may be placing in jeopardy by doing so? or are you just full of BS?

I was thinking the same thing...

Not the wisest choice.. That coming from an Ex-Special Forces soldier.. Didn't you pay attention in the Classification briefing on when and who your authorized to release your classified level to?

Tsk tsk

Agree that stating clearance levels on the open net is not wise. That being said there are several thousand "civilian contractors" associated w/ Blackwater USA, Wackenhut, DynCorp International and others operating w/ high level clearance overseas. Not that hard to find them without advertising if someone wants too.

Welcome home Badd.
