If I had another DD I'd send my truck down south as a project truck. But still looking for a car, so no go

Let me contact one of the mods on there. Just PM me your screen name and email so I can help them confirm that.

Also, if you upload the sig to say Photobucket, it will work. You an link it here to F150online as well.

Eh... that guy who runs it is a complete tool. The only way to be in that forum is to be his best friend or something. Actually, I'm not quite sure what rig he's running over there. Whatever it is, it is a bunch of childish nonsense.

Then comes the "pay" portion of the forum... which is a scam. At least he did refund me after waiting like a month.

I'm surprised he isn't on ripoffreport.com yet or something.

A public forum is supposed to be for all, with laws governing its acceptable content -- just like laws governing freedom of speech in the US there are certain limitations for example; likely known obscenities. As long as you haven't been "bad" on the forum, then there shouldn't be a reason.

If the dude wants his forum private, he should say so. Which if he does, then it shouldn't be or isn't about v6f150s.

To add to this... the fella (I think his name was Tally?) that owned and it and was running it a while back was awesome. Believe it or not, I think he had a real turboed v6 F150. It was a great forum back in it's day, but the new owner is horrible and has treated the forum like garbage.

I'd be interested in some longtubes, but I'd like to hear a soundclip first. Turbo would be cool, but doubt that's going to happen.

I'd be interested in longtubes for nbs 4.2. No interest in turbo kit.

(2007 4.2 5spd)

Obviously you must be talking about a different site Manual.

First off, Mike isn't a tool at all. He actually knows how to use them. He has given many valuable opinions, and people trust what he says, seeing as he has owned 5 V6 F150s, doing all the work himself on them.

I was never on the site when Talley owned it, but I have heard it was good. Now that he sold it to TechMike, it hasn't changed much. The only reason that some of the stuff goes on there is because Mike hardly ever gets on anymore. When he took over the site, he had much freetime to mod and admin, but now he logs on once a month. The mods (3 of them active) can only handle so much, and many people just drop in, talk crap to other members, and leave again.

If you have really spent time there, a lot of the original members are still active, and know their stuff about these trucks. Grant there is the occasional fist swinging, but it's a public forum, who doesn't like to throw a few sometimes and act like a tough guy.

And by the way, Talley was N/A as blue_oval man stated, putting down 265 at the wheels. Complete built motor that he is actually selling for $4000 as we speak. The truck just isn't road worthy.

The original Turbo V6 was OrangeThunder, whose kit now belongs to tj03f150.
