Rockies, but not because I live in CO, But because I like Buddy Black & think he deserved better from my beloved Padres.



Ribs, wet or dry?

Dry.

Do any engineers that helped design the 7.3 Super Duty participate on this forum?

no clue. Mark K was in Transmission obviously but never heard anything anyone in engine development.

I did help design part of the assembly line for a Ford engine. Not sure what engine it was or if it even happened. It had 4 bolts per main bearing cap plus cross bolts. We designed an automated system to bolt the caps on so it could be line bored.

Jack of all trades or master of one?

That’s a tough one, dawn because it typically means you’ve survived the fight, Dusk because you’re going looking for one.

‘’Could you be a vegetarian?

Only if they perfect the flavor of veggie bacon.

I'll repeat the question I didn't submit correctly: Big caliber with OK aim, or .223 with OMG accuracy? (FWIW, I have a Savage Long Range Precision Varminter). There. I just used my hall pass to answer my own question... now let's see yours.

A. A bit of both. I have a 7.62x39 assault style rifle that I built from an Ares Defense fixed stock and lower receiver. It is deadly accurate and I prefer that over the 5.56 or a larger caliber for the reasons you are referring to. Also, it is legal in all states because of the fixed stock and extended reach magazine release as long as I don't have a large capacity magazine in it for some of the more touchy states.

It looks similar to the image below, but with different bolt ons.




Q. One day the 7.3 will be too old and too troublesome to take care of, despite my hopes of it lasting forever. Are you leaning toward a 2015+ 6.7 or another "older" truck to replace your beloved 7.3?

A. That is just blasphemy Only thing I would replace it with is some sort of a 6 door Superduty or possibly OBS but it must be a stock height dually.

Q1 What do you want to learn? Q2 why?

A. Welding. It's something I've always been interested in but never took the time to learn. Now that I'm a homeowner it seems like that might be a handy skill.

Q. Are you going to test drive the F-150 diesel when it comes out? (the new 1/2 ton trucks are pretty much the "new" version of our old 3/4 ton trucks)

When it comes out? Coworker has had one for 2 months. Looks like a plain boring F150 other than the red powerstroke badge on the side


turret press, or single stage?

A: Single. I load for pure accuracy so shy away from the turrets. I know one long range guy who loads on a turret and wins long range matches though...

Q: Do you weigh each charge or just throw them?

Weigh every 10th or so.

Since we're on reloading, Nosler, Barnes, Hornady or Berger?
