Quarter mod retarded?
Well I have done the quarter mod on my UVHC connection. I posted this in another forum and one guy seems to think this is absolutely a stupid and retarded idea. His reasoning for this is if it came loose it could cause catastrophic engine damage. I really don't see it coming loose unless the tabs broke off. Ford even sells shims that do the exact same thing. Any opinions? I need some ammo......

There are also people that say that it isn't wise to swap out the factory air box for an open system, that a chip or tuner is crazy, that over sized tires and lifts are dangerous, and on and on and on.
We go against that grain.

I agree. That is why this site is more fun. I guess this guy on the other forum just had me second guessing my advice on the quarter mod because of potential damage. I did offer the advice of the shims, replacing the gasket, or the quarter mod. My opinion is that we can do a we choose with our trucks. I'm sure there are people on this site that probably would not do it. Each to their own.

OK, so instead of a D-shaped quarter, it would be easy-enough to fabricate a plastic D-shaped disk of the same size.
Would that make the naysayers happy?
Sheesh....

I really like that. It has so many other applications, way beyond Powerstrokes. Selective Ignorance- it's one of the things I can't stand. I think I'll mention this quote at my next church youth group meeting. Is it a Pop original?
