Afternoon everyone, and no, I haven't just woken up today.
WOW, that doesn't even make sense. If I ever see someone with a V10 I'm gonna tell them about that.
Great news Troy! I'm hoping to make it to the GTG for that, it would be fun.

They said it will take 3-4 days to get here after the build. I am goin to start another thread later on for a GTG for the install but right now I am thinking early to mid May cause the end of April is a mess for me right now. It is going to suck staring at it and not being able to get it in.

They say it has a drone without that Y-Pipe, I won't hear anything but the FM70 and the dual pipes out the back under the bumper or behind the rear wheels. I haven't made up my mind yet which way I want it to come out, right now it comes out both sides behind the rear wheels. I don't like the look of both coming out the same side like the Gibson Dual SS.

He is the king here that's for sure. haha
I don't have the perfect answer on the tranny cooler thing but the V10 is about half again as big as the 7.3 but I think even the smaller 6.0 is about half again as big as the V10 so about twice the size of the stock 7.3. What were they smoking at Ford?

Troy congrats on the BTS, and no I haven't got on word on camping yet.

Hey guys! How goes it? Been a busy afternoon for me. Gonna head back and work on the streetrod a little tonight.
Steve I dont see a problem with you coming out for the GTG. Shoot you can even stay at my place if you want after all you would win the long distance award!
Hey Jason I was thinking about that Tru cool. Is that the one Napa sells or is there a better place on the net? I could check with Clay too and see what he has.

great links, that answered part of my question and confirmed what someone had told me, but it still baffles me about why they used such a small cooler on the 7.3!

Because they are crack smoking dorks!
Evening all. Mom appears to be doing pretty well. Her kidneys are back to the normal range and they are working on her potassium now. She is expected to get discharged tomorrow early afternoon. Yeah!!

My question is that the 6.0 larger than the V10, and do I put the new cooler in addition to the OEM or replace it!

Glad to hear about our mom Jay.
I will be out of contact until Sun night. My family has rented a house/barn in Chetek Wi for the weekend. There will be 19 of us, should be fun. My wife is not going has to work and she thinks we are nuts. We see each other all the time and all live within 20 miles of each other.
This place even has the silo converted to a bedroom. I gotta see this.
You guys have a good night and a good weekend.
