That might be part of it. I think another part will be the people who tow often and run them hard a lot. I think it will cause shortened engine life overall/on average.

Obvious troll is obvious...

Do you have a left and right or two lefts or two rights?

Maybe he will outlast his 2 week stay on FTE or his 2 month stay on F150forum.com. before being perma-banned. He actually went a little over 2 months by using 3 or 4 other user names. Does RRSkinner ring a bell?

Who actually checks this sort of stuff, anyway? lol

Besides - Eff-Yer-F150forum will ban you just for saying CAI's are useless and need tuning. So that's no yardstick.

Two weeks for being sarcastic? Uh-oh ...

Thank you. I might be a troll, but it is unintentional.

I have a question Nassty. Why do you follow me around and try to get me banned for expressing my opinion? Are you a paid blogger. I checked you out and as I recall you are on every forum. Are you one of those 900 pounders that can't get out of bed so all you do all day is post. I am really sorry, but that is not my fault. I say have a little tolerance for people who disagree with you. Who know I might be right. Oh, please stop eating so much--take control of your life.

Rex and NASSTY, cut out the personal stuff. Everyone is entitled to speak their opinion on the subject but the personal stuff will not be tolerated. Rex, if you want to stay on this site, do not make any more posts such as he one I just removed.

Who's following? I've been here for over 10 years. If you really need to know, I weigh 165 lbs.

Sorry about that. When I googled Nassty that site came up. I thought I was posting a link. I thought I might get banned but I couldn't stop laughing when I saw that it posted the video. Thanks.

I didn't check nothing. I witnessed the whole thing as it happened.

Maybe FTE, but you would have to try pretty hard to get banned from F150forum.

I got banned for being a 5.0 fan and explaining why. I am not going into the details. I just wish Nassty would leave as history rather than bring it here a year later. I also wish I could figure out why. Some of the time that some people put into this seems unbelievable unless there is something else going on.

The more I read the more I become convinced that the above makes a good point. Here is mine. I don't tow and I am not trading 2 less cylinder to get 2 turbos and 5 more hp. Like most eco owner's, I don't tow and after reading about the lack or real world fuel savings and eco's condensation issues, I made a decision for me. I've expressed that here as an opinion and have said the same thing to friends. How is that a "troll"???
