I finally did and am much happier about the performance!

Just not the operation... Any system that marks messages read upon logoff or kickoff is LAME!

I don't think they do that superchip thing on purpose but this site is way worth the 20 bucks to support it. besides look at all the sh%^ you can start in the club. (we really need dodge in there)

I wasn't talking about the superchips ad, I was referring to the FTE pages not loading, just the ad's do.

That is typically the work of a 'Kick Mod' and kick mods are designed to annoy the user into purchasing a subscription.
Though there are other reason they may not be loading.

Personally I'm not interested in the drivel that goes on in The Club. I'm here for brain food not to waste time.

-Enjoy

Drivel is a good name for it but I still think dodge could really start some s%^& in there.
If for no other reason the wall to wall screen is worth 20 bucks.

Ah, I can't get nothin' started on here tonight. You guys are on to me!

Actually I enjoy the FRIENDLY banter back and forth where nobody gets serious and tries to pi$$ others off.

OH yeah, I almost forgot!

Fords SUCK!

That's why I own 5 of them. But two are for sale.

Thats true. If Fords didn't suck, how else would the Dodges and Chevys draft them to keep up...

Which are you selling. I may still be buying, although I am currently up to 6 IDI trucks, one powerjoke(not my favorite engine) and two Chevies in the bushes! One I plan on fixing.

I'm selling the PowerPuke although it's not that bad and it's actually the truck I take most of the time for just driving. It actually runs perfect I'm just not a computer controlled engine guy. I still need to find a white tailgate to replace the dented one.

The other is the '90 CrewCab which is the first Ford truck I ever owned. I fixed it up to be my main truck until I got my Cummins/Dodge CrewCab on the road.
Then I decided to research Ford IDIs and was going to swap an IDI into it. Instead I bought the '94. Then I fell into the "TRAP" and got the beat-up '86 for a personal use service truck. If I'd of known how much I would like IDIs I never would have bought the '90 and wasted my time on it. The other '97 gasser I just bought for the front end and service bed since it was only $900.
The PowerStroke had some fender and bed body damage, broken door handles and stuff like that would be expensive to have a shop fix but not bad for me so I robbed parts off of the '97 Gasser since they are the same color, drove 100 miles and got a nice bed with a crappy tailgate and now it's almost done.
The strange thing is the mechanical maintenence was done meticulously, even the SCAs were kept up. It was also never hot-rodded, always kept totally stock. It was a great "find" for me and it's been a good truck but I won't miss it when it's gone.

The two I am looking at THAT I DON"T HAVE ROOM FOR.........CRAP!!!! Are:

'93 7.3L ATS turbo (not factory) ext. cab, funky acting E40D, 4wd for $1500

'86 F-350 CrewCab 6.9L turbo (not sure what brand yet) C6 (the only thing I don't personally like about it) 4wd, with a winch bumper and winch for $1800
I haven't seen this one yet, the guy is moving to Portland and is going to drive it by on his way.

The '93 I'd actually like to pull the motor and stick in my tool truck, take the 6.9L out of the tool truck and build a hybrid 6.9L/7.3L for my '94 with all of the ATS turbo upgrades and studs etc.
Sell off the E40D as a core.
Put the X-case in my '94 'cuz it's getting kind of rattly.
Stick the 460, E40D, 1356 into it out of my '97 and sell it again. LOTS of work!
Then I could get rid of the '97 gasser since it's become just a parts truck anyway but the drivetrain is really good and I don't have a love afair for any big blocks except Chryslers, myself, anyway.

The '86 I have absolutely NO NEED for but if it's as advertised I'm going to HAVE to get it.
