I'm sure Ken could substantiate his credentials. My personal opinion is that the EPA has bigger fish to fry!

Yeah....hmmmm, let me see, I'm new in office and yeah I think the very first thing I'll do is start cracking down on people taking off their "cats". Oh and how will I do that? I'll get Mr. "EPA" guy!! What a crock. I'm sure he has a lot bigger problems on his plate than a few people modifying their exhaust systems.

lol matt !, as for traceing ip address i had a program that was done up by a sudo hacker friend of mine, i used to run a message board for a company and they were getting messages left talking about this and that and bad things about the company and they wanted to know which employee was doing it. It was a chore at first because he was using some sort of ip blocker but then he logged on one day while i was in there and i nailed him, turned out it was the bosses son doing it from the bosses house because he was mad at his dad. lol

Why don't you turn the tables and ask the fellow for his name and telephone number. If he really does work for a government office he should be perfectly comfortable giving out that data.

Did you guys notice that the thread is now closed and we cant reply anymore? Whats up with that, I wanted to tick off and make fun of the EPA guy. Oh well. Those guys are the reason my truck hasnt got a lot of power, and why I cant put anything on/in the engine to give it any more power!

Those 'epa' posts may or may not be a prank, but all this talk of taunting government agencies plays right into the hands of those that want to shut down the old car/truck hobby for good. Ken may be able to verify this guy's origin and shut him down as a s--- disturber but he's not going to risk all he's put into this site by allowing blatant promotion of illegal modifications. I hate to see the unpleasant rules and regulations choking this hobby as much as any of you guys but the fact is the aftermarket and SEMA have done a great job in keeping parts available to legally improve our vehicles like high flow cats,etc.

Well, go ahead show up on my front yard. Mr. Shotgun will be happy to see you. I mean I live in KY, where it's still ok to have guns(don't even get me started on that). I don't care who the hell it is. This country's government thinks it can push the hard working American around and not be challenged. Well I'm sick of it! I bust my butt at work so I can make enough to be the bills after taxes, then I put fires out and pick up the sick, drunk and dying. You know why they come after us? Because we're good people who just want to live in peace and do what's right. Go find some criminals to bother, and stop giving the hard working, law abiding American a hard time.

Oh, and I see no reason not to have cats. I put them on my truck after I bought it. Most aftermarket cats flow better than the performance mufflers. I just think it's careless to pollute when you don't have to. My $.02

Mike

I dont have cats, but my truck didn't come with them, and if I had to run them.... I'd just be an outlaw!

Not that I want to pollute, or that I don't like them robbing power, but the main reason... is I dont care... they didnt come w/ it, I wont be running them

Well,


Ken would have to turn over the Web stats that contain our IP's. Then and only then if he's associated our IP's with our Logon ID's would that information be any good...


Not to mention some people list to spoof the IP's.... or logon from Public access points.... Life is good when your wireless....


If Ken would mistakenly post his Ip I wonder what would happen


Big Fun

Big Fun

1998 F250 LS Diff. is slipping

u...uhuh.... he said cats


errrr...... we ain't got no cats around here..... uhuh


I think he's "just another dingus" "DAJ" for short.


I don't know why folks want to be DAJ's.... especialy when we are at WAR with folks who are told by their local preacher that God wants them to strap C-4 and nails to themselves and go blow themselves up @ an outdoor market to kill house wives and grandmothers while they are out shopping for dinner.... or crash planes into buildings... killing thousands of inoccents?


EPA guy.... take a look around you... gather some facts..... here's one for a start... don't take my word for it.... go look it up.

( Mt. Pinitubo, in the Phillippines spewed more poo-poo and other nasty crap up into our atmosphere in ONE WEEK than we as mere humans have as long as we've been on the planet!)


What we need are more foks sharing info and trying to get by in this crazy world we live in.


My 1998 F250 has a sick rear differential (thats why I'm here).

I put a 8 oz. tube of TRANS X in yesterday(as recomended by my HAYNES shop manual)... and it got rid of 70% of the shuddering.... but I see other brands say to use 2 tubes?

Any one have any input?

THX!!
