Well Tim I have to agree with you that shots have been fired in a lot of threads that were needless. Sometimes innocent misinterpetations are involved. Not isolated to this 6.0 forum either I might add. I know that I am guilty.

In my short tenure here I have already been involved in more disputes than necessary.

While have I tried to refrain from personal attacks I don't think I have been entirely successful. I tend to defend my side of the line. Whether the line is drawn by me or others.

It is my feeling that individuals that would typically remain in discussion groups, such as this, are by nature very strong willed and obviously very opinionated. Throw us all in one bucket, stir it up, and sometimes we don't smell to good.

I, for one, will attempt to be more open and less judgemental of other opinions. I will however retain the right to defend my side of the line when tresspassed upon.

Tough job for you Tim, as it is very difficult to know when to pull the censorship trigger.

Thanks and good luck.

Thank you for being honest and thanks for doing your part.

"It is my feeling that individuals that would typically remain in discussion groups, such as this, are by nature very strong willed and obviously very opinionated. Throw us all in one bucket, stir it up, and sometimes we don't smell to good."

Very accurate!!!!!!

I will stand up for my opinion and will not be bullied into backing down, changing my opinion or moving on to some other forum. If this is your definition of argument, then yes, I guess that I just like to argue.
Well said, jschira. I also feel that folks that seem to be asking for honest input actually want it and I'll continue to give it whenever I have anything on subject to contribute.

I do have to say that I'm a bit surprised and disappointed that you rank ahead of me on Bob's list, though.

You need to just try a little harder. You can do it.

New front seats in the '05s.

Wait a couple of months and take your sitter back out and try again.

I have a SuperCab XLT and my seats seem to be very comfy. Is there a difference in the front seats between SC & CC?

These are cloth. My last 3 Ford trucks had leather and I was disappointed in the durabilty / life of the leather in each case...Hence the cloth seats this time. Sure don't miss my legs sticking to the seat in summer either.

I just read about them somewhere a while back and then looked at the pictures posted on Ford's website.

They are GM-style seats with the seatbelt built into the seat rather than bolted to the B-pillar. I forget now what I was looking at, CC or SC.

Tkae a look at the 2005 interior shots at www.fordvehicles.com

Ford has had that seatbelt configuration in the F-150 SC since at least '02 and it is the same that my SC has now. I think the GM design actually goes thru the seatback and not on top of the seatback like the Ford..
