Problem Solved!!!!!

As I previously wrote in about having a pulsating feeling when I accelerated with my 6.0 in the Excusion, i wanted to give the fine people at FTE the great news. After further review it was determined that there were wires that were chaffed leading to the VGT Solenoid causing a loss of amps and not allowing the turbo to properly operate. Also with out my knowing they gave me the latest flash. ......Don't know if this is good or bad but I am so happy to have my truck "feel" Better! I took the first road trip tis last weekend to North Dakota while the truck was still sick. Not good ... but it helped me to explain the problem better to the "new" dealership. Whom to this point I am giving all of my kudos to . Hope she runs good for the Manitoba trip I am leaving for on friday. Quack ...Quack must get all the ducks and Geese. Gone hunting......

YAAAAAAA BUDDY!!!! IT'S DUCK SEASON!!!! Not to mention firearm turkey season is less than two weeks away. I would imagen that you should be fine. Chaffing is actually a serious prouble with these trucks and can cause many issues. I ended rapping the friction points of my harness in marine grade silicon based loom. I figure now I for sure don't have to worry about it. Well have a great season.

Best of Luck,
Corey

firearm turkey season
as opposed to rocks with duck taped dynamite in the cradle of a trebuchet ....

Makes aiming a bit tuff, unless you can get a heard of them little feathery creatures to stand for a bit while you get azimuth and elevation correct.

Of courses by increasing the dynamite amount, the area of circular probability will increase.

Ok….enough I will let this one go

I better not try that...I have a bad history with every trebuchet we have tried building...mostly centered around the launch hook angle at the end of the arm

My neighbor's porch got a pretty good size rock on it...
