Never fails! We a have a 5 year old, and sleeping is not needed for him. He goes down at 8:00 and sometimes won't fall asleep till after 10:00. He is ALWAYS up by 6:30 no questions...

Yeah, the time change didn't help us at all...

He has a clock in his room and we tell him he can't come out until 7:00...

He just waits and comes out on the dot. Well, sometimes. Usually he quietly sneaks out! lol

Evening everyone, little harder to check in here on break then when I'm in class. Speaking of break, when I was driving back home, I stopped to fill up at the truck stop in Erskine, I saw a 2011 6.7L SUPER DUTY!! There was no mistake, the headlights... round 6.7L badge... no doubt. I really wish I would have taken a picture and went in to see whose it was. Then as I past I looked back and saw 3 others super duty's parked right next to it. Don't know if they were 6.7s but I kind of suspect it. Ford doing some test crusing maybe?

Nice bikes guys, sold mine two summers ago but have been driving my uncle's bike, he doesn't really ride ever, I just get license tabs and keep it maintained.

Think I may have drove the fastest PSD I've ever been in today. 97 7.3l auto, H2E turbo, IC, FASS fuel pump, I'm suspecting hybrid injectors because I only see a stock appearing HPOP. Puts out about 30 psi with ease, got up to 40 on a gravel road. I'm really thinking about buying it, but I'd need to sell off two of my other rigs.

Thanks for the compliment Troy. Seems to be slightly brighter although I haven't adjusted them quite as high as the originals. Last set had several broken lenses on each side. The KC lights sure make a difference at night, have them pointed in the ditches.

If it leaked that much it would blow white smoke, which it didn't and after the engine was running it would have burnt off the antifreeze. I have chenged te plugs three times now since 160000 and have never seen a plug issue. I hooked it up to a scanner and it had two misfire cylinder two codes, but plug looked good. I'm confused.
Lee, I'll second the thought by David about the coil packs. My brother has worked on a several 5.4s that have had a misfire due to a bad coil.

Good morning Steve and the rest of MN!!

mmmmmm........green beer tonight I do believe!!!!

Edit: Thomas I didnt have a chance to comment on this earlier but that is pretty cool that you got to see the SD in person. I have only seen pics of them. That '97 you were talking about sounds pretty quick and nice! Good luck if you decide to sell yours.

Morning Everyone. I see that there are 564 posts already, kind of blew Feb out of water. By the end of the month there may be a few people alone with more posts than Feb. Snow this weekend? I hope not.

I really am hoping against snow, all this slop with snow on top would kill work.
