7.3

My truck feels like a 7.3 today. Ugh, what a turd!


One of the up-pipe bolts fell out on the passenger side at the y-pipe so the truck is about as quick as a tuned 7.3 now.

A 99 with a rebuilt tranny? Those are better than a 6.0 I hear.

Back to being a truck that can keep up with traffic without keeping the pedal floored all the time.

Just an up-pipe bolt that fell out.


I don't know how somebody could drive something like that all the time and be happy with it. Those are turds!
