Thanks Bismic thread

Some might think this is a waste of a thread but I for one don't.Ever since I have joined the FTE Mark has been on here adding to the huge resource in the 6.0 section.When I first started reading this site Mark hardly knew the 6.0(compaired to what he knows now) but in the last few years he has compiled a huge resource for all to share.I know this effort must have taken a incredible amount of time and I for one think that a HUGE Thank You is in order. Anyone else run out of rep most of the time that you want to rep him but you have to wait?I think that a thread as a saved list of Thank You's are in order.

Mark (bismic) has been a great credit to the 6.0 Forum.

He took the time to learn about the 6.0 and then compile alot of good information. Mark has always been willing to share his knowledge and work and has asked for nothing in return that I am aware of.

Thank you, Mark!

I say we let this thread run for a week or two, then have a 'Roast bismic' thread!

This thread should really send the thanks to the Techs and all the "experience" that resides here - the MANY members I have learned from (and probably all too often quote without referencing them).

That being said, I appreciate the kind words and the thread.

Russ - I am sure you wouldn't have to go far to get the ammunition for the follow-up thread! Just hope my wife doesn't find it and fuel the fire! She could really embarass me ...............

I certainly don't think it is a waste of time to say thanks to a guy who spends alot of his own time providing information to help others.

I for one have gained alot of knowledge about the 6.0 engine platform because of the info bismic has compiled.

There are many times (like right now) that I can rep him but I certainly appreciate the time he invest and the information he provides in his post.

So thanks to bismic as well as the many others too numerous to name that help everyone in FTE land.

Me too!! When my 6.0 had an HPOP failure a while back, I got help from a number of you, and if I forgot to say thank you, I'll say it now ... Thank you all! But Mark contributed a level of personal attention and concern that was above and beyond the call. More than that though, Mark accumulates and passes on knowledge in a way that makes FTE a great place of learning, and makes our trucks so much more valuable to us. Thanks Mark for helping us learn and understand, you make it a pleasure. Mike

Mark is exceptional, thanks for your help and words of realistic encouragement to so many folks on here. You set a high standard that others can strive for, that is to me the highest praise you can give a man.
