2 heads, 1 engine, lets hope they got it right this time

Just picked up the truck and it seems like it could be running right finally. After 4 months of no truck I hope this is the end of my saga. And I am sure that Ford hopes so too, they replace the cylinder, THEN the motor, then the cylinder again all in 2 months. I think they could have given me a new truck for what they just spent.
wish me luck

jOSH POST YOUR EMAIL I HAVE PICS FOR YOU


Yeah my plan this weekend is to do a Ford double check. I am checking all the plugs twice and every single bolt I can get my socket to. I am even going to get my trusty loaner torque wrench from autozone and check the torque for the bolts I know the specs on.

I want my mods back and a 11.99 (which I think with Sals tune I was close if **** did not hit the fan before the finish line.)
Hope to have the mods back on in a few weeks and get a new tune for my truck.

I sent you an email with Tom but..
Lightningbnd412s@aol.com

as for gettin all your mods back and putting them on, first I would give it at least a week or two to make sure nothing else goes wrong...then after that if you need a hand let me know.

Your gunnin for high 11's now huh ?? Maybe I'll see you there, if I can figure out a way to get some extra $$$....#&^$(&% Car Insurance is kickin my @$$ with its strange *** structuring they want $1000 4x over the next 5months then nothing for 7
Anyway let me know if you need a hand with the remodding.

Man I am so pissed right now. I just looked over my engine and what a chop job they did. There are at least 3 hose that they tied up to get out of the way that they left tied up. And the was they routed some of the hoses was way different then stock and looks horrible. I guess I will be spending my weekend fixing all this crap.
