No problems, darn it!

Why can't my exhaust manifold studs break?

Why can't my exhaust fall off?

Why can't I blow SOMETHING up so I can buy some performance parts without the wife knowing?

Darn these V10's wrapped inside a Superduty...

And when is this dang serpentine belt gonna break? I've had one behind the back seat for ages now...

What about this dang ESOF? When is it gonna go out so I can get WARNs? Geesh!

Anybody got oil on their engine? Why can't I get just a little here and there so I can look tough like the chubby and dudge rednecks? Huh? Tell me...

Can't even get that Dana 80 to whine or that 5 speed manual tranny to whine... What's the world coming to?

Uh, no, you seem to have a history of major earth-shattering events

The worst this thing has been through is pulling stumps Upstate on my BIL's land, hopping on all fours in 4LOW. But that's not going to help me "lose" my exhaust system somehow...

I need an excuse really bad

Talking Bullitt proof

These V10's are Bullitt proof, but cannot say the same for the rest of the SD. Don't get me wrong...they are tough, just not Bullitt proof...like the V10.

I finally had my first engine related failure today! I can't believe it, after 82k on the ticker she's finally giving me problems!

Somehow, the O-Ring on the oil dipstick came off!! I can't believe the shoddy quality of workmanship on these trucks!

Jeez! Now I'll have to go out and get a set of headers w/ new exhaust, supercharger, 8" lift with 38's, Dynatrac front upgrade, 4.56's w/ ARB's, 16k Warn, HD bumpers, full audio/video package, and a whole new set of tools.

$%!&@*# I can't believe the things that need upgrading / replacing!!!

I know your pain. Last Thursday a Saturn rearended my '05 F350. Their insurance adjuster is calling me wanting to settle a claim. I can't make a claim. I can't find anything wrong with my truck.
