Angry Surprise

Well after the surprise of our lives (when a Dr. says 99.9% effective they mean it) I had to make the tough decision to get rid of the stroker for a vehicle that can haul 4 kids (it takes awhile to get used to saying that) so no more powerstroke to have fun with. But I have a 84 F150 lined up to start working on and use for a daily driver but it will take awhile to stop expecting the scream of a Wicked Wheel whenever I romp on it or to stop driving around town looking for tunnels and underpasses so I can hear the roar echoing off the concreat. And I'll miss having a reason to lurk around here everyday in what is my opinion the best forum on this site. So to everyone who gave me advice and help when I needed it thanks and good luck to all of you enjoy your strokers (to bad I couldn't talk the wife into an Excursion)

oh and if anyone needs a sonnax kit or a bost relief valve I have the ones that I never got around to installing so PM me and we can work something out.

You should try to talk her into the excursion again, then you could both be happy. Remind the that a marraige is 50/50. But anyway have fun with the new kids. I know there is company up here in MN some where that can add extra doors to a truck and make look factory, just incase you want a 6 doored stroker. But good luck and have fun with a minivan LOL. Hopefully we will see you again someday, when the wife will allow you to have a truck to play with again.

Congrats on the addition, but why loose the truck, It's not the truck fault, it didn't do it. It's a CC and should be enough room for all 6 of you and will be the safest ride you can get. It will also be around to give to one of those good looking boys you have there. What ever you have to do, please feel free stick around with your other family here.
