take one for the Yamagoochi team Curtis. I'll watch your back. Like Randy will, literally, lol.. My Exiter had a Bender Racing flap on it, and many complimented me on it.

189, 122, 80hp, it's all the same. Track spin. The more HP the bigger the thumper poo you leave on the trail for the next guy to hit. Bald track, i'm glad you brought that up. So there's no excuses when you tell me that LED tail light of mine is nice and bright
PS....i'm praying I get it set up for when your out next, so i'm not the one whinnin and cryin from eating roost and snow dust all day

It's pick on the young guy day today. We shouldn't tho, he missed out on Giggers X-Mas post. Was a good one, but I'm thinking running a fine line.


Randy..... jus razzin ya brutha. I have just as much fun on a ride as the big dogs out there. Just takes me a lil extra time to get there on the straights

UPDATE: PHP FICM tune I put in last week. I still have a parasitic draw somewhere. Checked all the fuses, new alternator ect. Truck has sat for a solid week in the cold and plugged in 6 hours ago. Batteries were @50% (12.2V) at that time. Went out 1/2 hour ago, tried it. Fired right up and purred like a kitten. That PHP tune is hands down one of the best things i've done to the 6.0. Hasn't started like this in -35 weather since i've owned it. Read -17F on the dash. Didn't stutter, shake, rattle when she idle'd up on her own either. Turbo spooled up nice as well. 0W30 synthetic was another good investment i'm thinking.

So, tomorrow i'm going to put the ski pants on, bundle up and go investigate where i'm getting this draw from that's killing my batteries. (load tested at interstate a month ago) I have this sneeky feeling it may be the starter. I've checked fuses twice now. Any thoughts guys
Could the batteries or battery be bad even if they passed interstates test?? I'm worried about that part as the employee of many years there said Ford Superduty's only get 1 year warrenty. Despite not indicating that anywhere on their website. Nothing but problems with batteries in these trucks he stated. Sure enough there not even 2 years old.

Stupid cold here today. i got sick last night at 11m, Dawn gave me what-for, for coughing so much, so I just came to work, put my van in the warm shop , reclined the seat and tried to sleep. My brother's delivering in BC today and I have 3 deliveries in Brandon, so I definitely had to come in. I must of slept a whopping 2 hrs total last night. Have a great day guy's. stay safe and warm.

Morning everyone!

Curtis - Its all good man, working in the trades since outta high school has gotten me use to the razzin, its all fun and games
Just some proof of how bad my sled will spank yours
The video camera is attached to the apex, which is a hell of a lot faster than your slow-mobile! :P
Also, sorry to hear about your truck. Always sucks when you need it and it doesn't wanna work for ya. Hopefully you get it all fixed up soon!

Grant - Hope you feel better soon bud.

Sherwin - Good luck starting your tractor

Gerry - That house in the pic you posted is pretty much exactly what my girlfriend wants.

It`s down to a last minute rush with Christmas activities here today, a dead battery in one of the vehicles but no more flat tires so the F150 is ready to go.
Are you already for Christmas Clint?
Get well soon Grant, like Gerry says, have a good hot soak plus a shot of rum.
Hopefully by now Curtis`s truck and Sherm`s tractor are running.
Have a good day guys, keep warm, by tonight it should be warmer here.
