OASIS reports can be had going back the last ten years. The VIN tab may very well be gone, but one would hope not especially because they said the dash was intact, except for the radio and...ummm, air bag I think it was.

Your humor so closely resembles your "normal" posts that are known to be filled with dripping sarcasm, disdain for peoples likes and wants, and vitriolic attacks on people that it's difficult to ascertain when you're simply trying to be funny.

LOL! I don't have disdain for the six-leakers, not at all. When you consider they have more powah than the 7.3's from the git go, and can be made to have some crazy power levels easier than the venerable 7.3's, that's something to be reckoned with.

It's more of a fear of the unknown for me. Sure, they can be fixed up with head studs and EGR delete, but will that permantly cure the inherent problems a lot of six-liter dudes face? Also, California is going to start emissions testing on diesels and with an EGR delete, it would fail.

Plus, I'd rather have a built 4R100 than the tranny you guys have because they can be difficult to tune for. That may have changed now, but I know they were touchy when it came to custom tunes a few years back, and guys were having tranny probs with custom tuning.

Giving the 6.0L guys a hard time is similar to the PSD vs V10 arguments and threads that pop up every-so-often.

Plus, it's fun to rib each other over our choices of power plants under the hood!

Stewart

PS - I like the V10's. I discovered they're not my cup of tea, after thoroughly checking one out and almost buying it, but I don't have any disdain for it and it's not a 7.3...I just hate the "leakers"

J/K ya know!

No, you're wearing thin on more people than just him.

So how about a longer term ban.... and for his second user name as well since he decided to register again during/after one of his bans.

I agree with him there. Wheels are what the factory installs on a car or truck.

Rims are what see on all these jacked up donkey cars. Or whatever they're called.

Actually "rims" is just a slang term that probably goes back to the fifties. It is usually used by women and less technical men. The rim is the outer part of the steel wheel and this is probably where the term came from originally; (punched or reversed rims). It doesn't make me cringe when I hear it because we can't all be technical and precise people.
