While I don't know Anthony personally, I know what he does for a living...delivers new RV trailers from the factory in Indiana to dealers/retailers across the country. So my educated guess would be dropping off a trailer. That's how he managed to get 580K plus miles on his '06.

Anthony, you seem to have developed quite a fan base with a demand for personal appearances. I see a new revenue stream developing. Charge an "admission fee" for checking out the the new colorful engine.
You did a fine job and I am in awe of your energy and talent.
Good luck to you.

I think the dealership is called le Mesa Rv... But yes, I got a 25' work n play on right now goin there. We delivered a monster 39' vengeance fw just north of Lafayette la yesterday. So glad to unhook that sob.
Btw, I do see the atlas 40 workin for me now,,,, no mileage gain,,, yet,,, but the power is very nice. It's like another stage on the programmer. I'm now towing on stage 1,,, instead of stage 2 on the edge. I'm also thinking that I got used to the power I was getting with the lifters messed up. I pulled big red on the trailer back to Indiana,,, yeah,, grey has more umph than red does now. It actually makes driving fun again,,, when I find myself having to let out of the pedal,,, rather than wishing I had more pedal to push.

I think it's time for a new thread where we all sign up for a chance for a visit from the famous run6.0run.
Anthony if you have any plans to be up around the New England area let me know. I travel around the area for work and I would love to see the rig and chat about the job you just went through.

I have some stories!
It would take a very special couple to do what they do.
My hat's off to them!

Are you going to try to replace only the slave cylinder, or buy the whole kit from Ford that includes the master, line and slave with fluid in it? The reason I ask is because if you try to replace only the slave cylinder, good luck trying to bleed the system because it'll likely never happen unless you discover a secret that I am unaware of. I speak from personal experience.
