Good Evening All.
I had a cooler in the back of my truck that had some left over cans of soda and bottles of water in it along with ice and water. Well I had some azz wipe tailgating me so I kick it into 120R and boot it. I look into my rear view mirror just in time to see him way back black smoke everywhere and yes my cooler flying out of the bed of my truck. I actually saw it launching and then hitting the ground. Needless to say I need to buy a new cooler now.

not much other then Ford is going to be making it and not the Blue Diamond Group. Single turbo and it should produce less then 2% emissions
and it does require more maintenance. they just drilled this into us big time.

it was prolly worth every penny to slow that fool down, Jim...

back when I had my reg cab p/u with the rear window slider....I had a guy tailgating me for a couple miles on a 2 lane back road with nowhere to pull over...I had [icked up coffee from the gas station so I held it out the back window above the roof line and popped the top off with my thumb...the wind sucked all the coffee out and all over his white car...he backed way off...a few miles later I turned and he went by beeping and flipping me the bird...at least I didnt need to look for a carwash!!

not sure, but i'm purdy sure they said it was a single turbo set up but it was way fancy mancy.


there focus was on 7.3L 6.0L AND THE 6.4L and mostly to explain better maintence is needed for the 6.0L and 6.4L and to help us sell more parts.


i'm all caught up now so I'm going home. long day!

Ed don't they know anything? If you DON'T do maintenance you'll sell even MORE parts when they all break!
