Tommarow I will have some more pictures of everything. It did get in a accident, hit a light pole. If you dont believe me, I WILL pay your gas if you get here and its not a 2004 Heritage, if not your going back home paying YOUR gas.

Man.. you could buy a new truck with the cost of gas to get my truck to where you live.

You should DEFINITELY transfer your new wheels over to the v8 bro.

Here ya go flip. Found your thread over on V6F150 where they were (also) haggling you about it not being an '04 Heritage. You posted this:

My friend has a 01/96 but in our body style I couldnt believe it.

Wow, your beating my V6 by a lot, do you got enthanol blend? I kind of beat on that V6 though. Couple burnouts here and there.

Oh, well that'll F the gas mileage all up! Its gotta be running right. I took my whole top end apart pretty much and cleaned every bit of it as well as a tune up and all that. You could eat off of my intake for awhile there. Well, until I went mudding.. it gets up on top of the engine somehow

Ill tell you how it gets on your engine. Its because your fan catches the mudd and slings it around. When I sunk my truck I couldn't belive it looked like my hood was submerged under water until I though of the fan. It just throws anything that hits it.

I guess that makes sense.. my fan shroud is lowered and covered by the "skid plate" rubber pad tho. I always figured it was because I need gap guards and just too lazy to buy them
