But I thought you might like to know that I just (12:22PM, PST) got off the phone with a fellow named Matt Gourding at Ford SVT in Dearborn, MI. He is a tech-rep for SVT who's sole purpose is to address owner questions/concerns. He said that the only difference between the SC'ed H-D engine and the L engine are the supercharger pulleys and associated tuning chip. He went on to say that there were three primary reasons the H-D was "detuned". First, weight considerations. Second, two-piece driveshaft. Third, L marketing differentiation.
I think you will sleep better if you call him, or anyone at SVT HQ! The number is: 800-367-3788. Pleasant dreams!

You sure do sound like your looking for lawsuit info.
Why I don't know.
It's good thing you and 365 don't like me I would shoot myself if I found out.

By the way, I always believed that innocent ones have nothing to be concerned about. Do no wrong, see no consenquences, very simple.

Cause I was in love with my truck when it did not have problems and I would love to have that back.

Looks like it is not just me and him. Something makes me tend to believe you are very lonely and sad person.
Is this the same tendency that made you think we have more c/r in our motors and weaker rods ? LOL - I rest my case there.
Please, do not. But think a little over following question: How many people would miss you if you would?

Funny, I'll give you that, but kinda like other other things in my life the list would be long and distinguished.
Man that quote thingy is fun isn't.

I'm sorry...but I tried really, really hard to not post anymore to this thread but, I know, and get the feelig from others that these issues are all coming from the same individual over and over and over again and they are getting very tiring now.
ZoranC, sorry about dis'ing you with the ignore list post earlier but I get the feeling a lot of folks agree with me here. (BTW, I am not a politician.)
Everyone wants to help everyone on this forum but sometimes the way things are presented and/or replied to can be interpreted in a manner that can be counter-productive. I think that explains why the last few threads you were involved in have gone down the tubes as HD356 says.
You say how much you love your truck but I never see any positive posts about what you love about your truck and now there's even talk about lawsuits!!
Okay...I am done now and promise not to post anymore to this thread.

Zoran,
I am really starting to think you just want to stir up trouble. Over at FTW you said you wanted to talk with a tuner that could answer your questions. Now you can call SVT themselves, and hear from the horse’s mouth. At what point will you stop beating a dead horse?
What possible reason do you think some guy at SVT is going to write a letter for some guy who calls on the phone? Like I told you before, Ford never marketed the HD as having the same engine as the Lightning.
No offense guy, but maybe you should trade your HD in on a Toyota.

The ignore feature rocks!
The subject of this discussion has really gone out of whack. I agree with BillP and Ayrton. It has just been as of late, that this kind of crap surfaced and it all revolves on the unhappy camper(s). Taking the quality of the HD forums with it.
Sigh....

Ok, I suggest to let us all forget about this issue and stop posting. We all know the real truth. That way this will go to the bottom of the list, disapear and will avoid further fights among our beloved memebers. I promise to not even read it any more.
