That's great to see...think it'll see 750k or even a million miles? I know you rack some serous mileage up on that truck.

A better question would be, if he does, will FoMoCo retire his truck and give him a brand spanking new one equipped identically to his? His should be a perfect testament to these engines with the bad rap that they've gotten.

I completely agree, he's proved these engines...when maintained the way Ford has stated...will go a long time. Especially considering he's using the truck for hauling...no one can argue he doesn't work the engine/truck. Maybe they'll have Mike Rowe interview him!

Chassis on the cab...or new cab on your current chassis?

Negative on those bismic... btw, you were one of the few that I was specifically talking about when I said"all of u guys". I got the studs and delete done right at 100k. They weren't blown, but I had time and the $$$$$ so I figured wtf, lets do it. I had an oil cooler out then. Btw, ur name is mark, isnt it? Mines anthony.

Thanks for the kind words Anthony (and yes, it is Mark)! I was bragging on you in another forum so I thought I would double check on those mods.

As to your signature - I do not see it.

I really do think that you should contact Ford and tell them of your accomplishement. Who knows what might come of it!
