Yeah, slow...in stock form only!

But we'll be here for the long haul.

Besides, we (us 7.3'rs) take out comforts where we can get 'em!

'Sides...you know I'm just jealous about the money you're able to sink into your rig!

Dam I would kill to have head studs installed into the 04 X but my wish might be coming true soon. I keeping having to add colorant every week and I think that is a sign on the head gaskets right?

Easy there Nick....

Monsta is the feared pack leader of the V10 Excursion owners; and from what I hear, they don't call him "Monsta" for nothing....

New head bolts. Holds the engine together better and allows for a much higher RPM on the drag strip.

(SHERIFF is guessing, he really has no clue. )

Hmmm....take the entire body off the chassis to install cyl. head bolts ? Hmmm...come to think of it...if my vehicle didn't have head bolts, I guess I'd want to install them too. O.K..so now I understand. He took the body off to install cyl. head bolts. Excellent. Glad we cleared that up...

Now..I dont suppose one of you guys would help me out and explain how he was previously driving around without cyl. head bolts... ? ?

thank you for clearing this up - I agree. If I were going to the drags, I most certainly WOULD install cyl. head bolts and thus be able to bolt my cylinder heads on. I guess I should check out my EX to see if IT has bolts holding the cylinder heads on. Wonder if I should call Ford and make a warranty claim ?....

( gawd...anyone reading this "thread" is going to use our "posts" to PROVE we are all blondes.....! )
