He won't pay any attention, mainly because he has a terminal case of chevyitis. That's a very serious condition, where you believe what is said even when it isn't the truth. But as long as it is "supposed to come from a reliable source" it's still nothing but troll crap.
Oh well, Chevyitis infects all those who own chevies and come to Ford sites tosay how much better their trucks are. If their trucks are so much better then why don't some of the losers come up with their own website? Why, because they can't figure out how to come up with an original idea! Therefore they have to come here and see if they can act like they have some kind of intelligence. But in reality they have none, otherwise they would have bought a Ford!
1988 F-150, SWB, 5.0 EFI (formerly 4.9 EFI), M5OD 5 speed, 3.08 gears, Summit shorty truck headers, Custom built Flowmaster exhaust system. Force 4 LP6000 lightbar, Federal signal PA-300 100 watt siren, Icom IC-V100 50 watt mobile radio.
=======================================
1965 F-100 (just purchased 1/18/01), SWB, 390, C-6 auto. Dual exhaust, Not much else to do to it.
Can see both below.

Personally I didn't think my first topic starting post would be considered trolling. But the responses certainly begged for it. The only decent comment I got was from Pastmaster. Pastmaster knows me well from the other forums.
Now read my first post again. Did I really ask for the types of responses I got? No. That doesn't make me a troll, you guys conveniently turned me into one and then called me one. So be it.
I have not put down Ford products until you started calling my truck ugly and all I did was give my opinion on the looks of the F150.

If you weren't trolling, then why on earth would you come to a Ford site and play up your tinker toy?
And that ####### you hear, get used to it. You'll be hearing it for a while, especially since you have chevyitis!

I have been informed to not worry about the ticking as it will dissapear as the engine brakes in.
Seems the tight tolerances was causing the problem.

Come on..... this ain't picktrucks.com where anyone with a GM or a Nissan can post... its Ford Truck ENTHUSIASTS. Try this, walk into a hellfire and brimstone Baptist church, walk up to the podium and start telling them how great being a Roman Catholic is.
Now isn't this more fun than a barrel of monkeys?

Imagine, you come to a FORD TRUCK (don't miss what I am trying to say there) website,and you call us opinionated when we take up for FORD TRUCKS! Hmmm...... You must have an exhaust leak going into your cab as well!!!

"tight engine tolerances" you actually bought that line of crap! Wise up, if a Ford dealer fed me a line like that I'd tell him he's an idiot and go else where. Just because you like your truck doesn't mean that you have to be so stupid and blind to the obvious B.S. their feeding you. What's their next excuse "the rods are supposed to knock, it helps build more power". Stupid. Oh yeah, nice diversion with the other cars. That's classic; "if you can't win an argument, change the subject". Why don't you and your Duramax "#######" off to somewhere else cause I'm shure everyone here is tired of your blind Chevy ignorance.

>Nice bird. 65 or 66?
That's the first thing my wife said to me. :-)
It's a 66. It was the last year they made the rag top. I always had a soft spot for the 66. It had the nices front and rear of the 64-66 model years. I especially liked the solid tail light strip at night with the sequential tail lights. It had the optional 428 big block in it. Ran great but handled terrible.

Hey, at least he said Hi. That's a little more than the rest of you. For a moderator, you come on a little heavy. You could learn a few things from the moderators on pickuptruck, diesel page and Ford-Diesel. This site needs a moderator for the moderator hehe
