The only thing i dont like any of the new SOHC engines is that they dont make much power under 2500 rpm. Other than that,i get 22 mpg with my 99 F140 s/c 4x4,so im not complaining,much.lol

his point was it felt like more power, probably has to do with the fact that the 04+ trucks weigh alot more then the same equiped 97-03

Hey, you brought it up! LOL!

Annnnnyyyyyyywwwwwwaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy

A few years ago...... my son....... trying to be helpful and clean daddy's desk......... using Windex......... completely hosed down my keyboard (thought it was cleaning it).......... and then went on to hose down the keyboards of a couple laptops. And I mean HOSE DOWN!! He used up a whole brand new spray bottle. That was about a $4,000 oops. Couldn't be mad at him though, he was SO PROUD of the job he did, helping out his dad because he thought I was working so hard that I needed his help. God I love that boy.... LOL.

No, the bluetooth Logi in the first link I posted is the one that sucks *****. You definitely don't want that one! A rock and chisel would be better.

I don't know anything about the one you bought. Go google up some reviews dude.

Here's my motor , need some pics , I got em.


I'm prolly the most honest person here lol - If I bullchit , I let you know I have. Same with if I'm wrong. I have karma fobia lol

As for being dangerous with tools - You darn straight !! You should see me with a nail gun. Well , maybe not right now lol

I have an accountant - why in the hell would I want to be one ?
Im just jerkin' your lil 220HP chain.

I ghad my nailgun privlages taken away, guess I wasnt as good of aim as I though. I heard them say something like "irresponsible.....unsafe......a$$hole..." lol
