Goodbye all!!! THANKS!!!

Well, its been a VERY hard decision this week... Malcolm and his dad Sonny have tried soo very hard to get me an ATS turbo kit, and I have been trying to get in touch with Ken at DPS fon injectors... Neither of which was happining.

I had put aside some money to build a fresh "Dave S" like engine, and have the body work done on the truck too...

I became sad that everything I wanted to to was not going my way, so I made the decision....

Tomorrow I pick up a 2002 F350 regular cab long box 4X4 7.3L auto black XLT lariat with 8" lift and 38" tires.... best part... 80 000 KMS... so 48 000 miles...



This truck belongs to a VERY close friend of mine who is also a member on here "hubdeep".. he is taking my truck and $$ for his...

its a sad yet happy day for both of us...

So a special thanks to you all... you have all helped me out so much over the last year... have met some REALLY nice people... I wont be gone, just over in a new forum I guess....



Bob

Smile You can't get the old stuff out of your blood.

That new truck is VERY NICE but of course we all know that one day - he'll be back. Have fun with your new truck.

Bob, you can still come visit, it says Ford on the front.

Enjoy the new truck.

I am sure the guys up in the 99 to 03 forum will have you up to speed on your new truck in no time at all.

Well, that's one way to get some more power. Looks like a solid truck. Yes ATS is has been a complete waste of time for over 2 months. We finally started talking to Hypermax and they sound more than willing to deal. So if anyone else is looking, let us know.

OH NO! Another one succumbs to the lure of the dark side!


Good luck with it man. Feel free to drop in or even come back "home" if/when $300 injectors get the best of you
