has anyone noticed their 7.3 gets better fuel mileage with the AC on than it does with the heat on?
my 02 gets 17-19mpg with the AC on, but only 12-14 mpg with the heat on.

jacob part of the reasons so many relationships are crappy, end in divorce or just are plain wrong all together with no hope is because we have this mindset we HAVE to have someone. It is the norm. Well don't be normal as the world sees normal. Be different wait for the one who you are "supposed" to be with and she is waiting for you to find her. You will just totally know when she is in yor life. there will be no second guess no let down etc.
You need good friends so keep the friends around. Do not see everyone as a spouse. Do not picture growing old with each one because should it fail you will feel like a failure. That is so far from the truth. The relationship ran its course. Nothing you could do or say would or could save it. Learn from it and move ahead. Quit looking because once you do you will find it and love will find you. You will find love in the least expected place. It will be so amazing on your heart you will truly fill something you have not felt before and it will be real.

I agree with this but I also think there are several other wrong reasons people stay together and get married.
I think a lot of people get married because they confuse lust with love. Heck I've made that mistake before. I never got married to the man but, I confused lust with love. There is a huge difference. You never know love until you experience it, and its confusing.

So I was just watching Xtreme 4x4 and it just renewed my dislike of Gale Banks and all of his products.
They were working on a Cummins and they were installing a ton of Banks stuff. They got Gale Banks himself there to explain how the turbo they were installing works.
He was talking about how the vanes in his turbo adjust themselves so it'll take off quicker and still make good boost. He was talking about how it was so awesome and this that and the other thing.
The 6.0 has been using that system since 03. Go home, Gale.
Sorry for being on-topic in the O/T thread.

Dang Mel, I hear ya on that one... Marriage can indeed be very trying at times. Not saying I got married for the wrong reasons, but after marriage, boy did things slow down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And even with her being damn near 40, the time when a woman is most, umm, looking for "fun" according to the experts, hell, not this one LOL. But we got the kids, house, bills, and I do still love her, but things could be a lot better.....ok, I'm gonna go back under my rock now hehe.

Really? I could've sworn up and down that the 6.0 uses a system just like that.

Because in the episode he was saying it was new and blablabla and I have a button on my remote that says "info" and I can hit it and it tells me what year the episode was made and a bit about it, and this one said (2009)
Hmm. This has me curious now. I'm gonna find out when Banks introduced their variable vane turbo.
Searching through patents I found this:

It appears to be that the concept existed since the 80s.

My father is the same towards Gretchen! He saw one of her videos a couple years ago and was hooked!
