The decision has been made for valid reasons and not everything is up for a vote --- nothing would get accomplished if made site/business decisions based on votes. Sometimes change is difficult for some people to accept but we've been through this with several other sections and each time its made the new sections more vibrant (for example, splitting up 61-79 into 61-66/67-79 and later to 61-66/67-72/73-79).
Well, I feel better now.

Doesn't seem like a big deal to me. I usually check a couple pages deep in the forum when I come here so now I'll just check the two different forums and still get all the good info. Still the best dang site a 7.3 owner could ever find!

Sorry about asking the stupid question about OBS!! Live and learn right? I read this forum daily and really appreciate the wealth of knowledge ya'll all provide. When my truck started acting up I almost immediately knew it was the CPS by reading others posts, questions and the responces, oil all over the driveway and intake valley- HPOP seals!!! Maybe someday I will be able to update/upgrade so of my trucks features but for right now I'm still a "stock" 2003.

I didn't even notice that the PSD was split into 2 time frames until I read this string!
Just out of curiosity, which forum do the guys with 98's use?

I am new to FTE, but it has been a great tool to help me fix some of those gremlims that have popped up. It also helps to hear others with questions about the same things I have wondered about. Also, a reality check on what my truck can and can't do....

Keep up the good work :-XO3

The only 98's with the PSD are some E-series vans. The only 98 F series trucks are 1/2 tons.
