No, I have a few...

My main truck is a 2005 F350 6.0 crew DRW. My wife has a 2003 Exploder Limited with a 4.6.

My Ranger is, ready for this? An 85 with a 91 front clip and a 2002 4.6 PI motor. Chopped top and still a work in progress.

Wow that ranger has a little of everything in it. Must be a bugger trying to get parts at the store when they ask you what you have. lol Gotta love those project trucks dont ya? How is the 6.0 treating ya? We had a '03 6.0 at the shop about 4 yrs ago and alot of trouble but it was the early one. When it ran it moved along good and I loved the transmission!

Yeah, the Ranger is fun! No one has anything like it, though!

The 6.0's been pretty good really! It's my first one. I've had a few 7.3's over the years. But yeah, it goes nice, and that tranny is great!

Hi Jay, quiet evenings at home are sure nice sometimes! I have been hangin with the little guy. He decided he didnt want the mac and cheese but instead wanted hotdogs and that is something I can handle as I am not much of a cook. Did ya get that TV up and going in your garage?

What I would love is to have that tranny behind my 7.3!

Yeah, if we could get the best of the 7.3 with the best of the 6.0, Ford would really have something!!!

Howdy Jay!

Yeah, we will find out soon enough I suppose! It they got it all put together this time I'd be happy to get a newer one at some point. I'll give it some time, I guess.

It will be interesting to see how it goes with the new motor. I would also wait a while to get one. Make sure they get all the bugs worked out first.

I am really exited to see how the 6.7 works out. Maybe in a few years if they are good I can then get one.

Always nice to have a TV up in the garage!

Appreciate the offer, and likewise!

I'm on of the few that likes my 6.0, but I'm all for improvement.

I used to have an Excursion and a kept the leather seats I had put in there. I got the fronts in the 350 (direct bolt in) But I've got some work to do in order to get the rear seats in. I want the folders for the flat back, but with the bump in the floor it's gonna be a custom mount up.

But should be nice when it's done.
