i even talked to troyer, he talks good of neal and mentioned doing tunes for him for many years now... something almost as many years as i am old lol. the only thing he said bad about neal was "he's a knuckle head for using that engine builder, still love him though."

 

haha, i got my PI's from fox lake, and i got my SS long tube headers with resonators... i'm ahead of ya jbrew... just by a scoch.

 

That's cool , will yours be running by the time I get mine


My Transgo kit will be installed by 10am tomorrow - I'll be out in the shop at 7am , it's only a couple hour job, if that , isn't it?

 

Which long tubes are you looking at. Pacesetters or dynatech's.

 

kooks

 

hey i had a gimp hand and i did it in 6 hrs with beat off time... shouldnt take long at all. maybe 3 hrs?

 

Faster, come on man your bashing your own people , my enigne is Romeo built and has only minor detonation, that I fixed with the tuner. The detonation came from hitty gas too, our 2001 5.4 expedition detonates like an SOB too.

Ruger, it's not all about post count, I'm joined here to maybe learn some stuff and make friends, and it's provided both, sorry to offend you, but patman and I are both college students with some spare time, cut us some slack, geeeezzzzzzz.........

 

Klitch, who made your headers, I can't seem to find many brands for the 4.6, but I'm also kinda worried about the legality of long tube headers in a truck, in Socal they are a PITA about smog, they weren't gonna letme smog my truck with the K&N on it. and did you lose a lot of bottom end on your 4.6 when you put them on? I was thinking about a set of shorty JBA headers.

 

Look, don't flatter yourself. It takes alot to offend me. I have been lurking on this site since '03. I obtained alot of valuable info from this site for repairs I needed to perform. Anytime I had a question, 9 out of 10 times it was answered by using the search feature. I never once had to post a question. It seems now, you'll be reading a very informative thread and it will be interrupted with " Hi, how are you.. I'm fine.. what did you do today... nothing, did you talk to so and so today...etc,etc.... did you see my post count... mines higher.... no mines higher. Who cares. When some of you do want to talk technical, it seems to be some of the most ridiculous, off the wall crap out there ( See SlowerF150 ). I swear, some of you change your oil, plugs, and do a brake job and you think you are certified Master tech/ Master Engine Builders, and even sometimes Automotive Engineers. Take the " Hi how ya doin' crap to Instant Messaging or a damn phone call, save the rest of us your girlie gossip crap because maybe, just maybe, no one else wants to read about it,and save some bandwith. Or better yet, general discussion. Or do you not want to use General Discussion because it doesn't go against your post count. I visit alot of forums: Dodge, Chevy, you name it. I am always working on one of these cars and/or trucks for side $$$ and there are times I need some info, join, do a search, and find what I need without ever once posting.This site used to be by far, hands down, the most mature, informative, technical site I have seen. Now, at times, It seems like a bunch of schoolgirls at a pajama party with the " Off Topic " banter. Yeah, I know I sound like a D***K, and its a free country and if I dont like it then don't read it, and who the hell do I think I am...etc,etc. I just miss the good ole days on this site.
You say your in college? Too much time on your hands? Well for the love of God man...Go chase some skirts!!! ( Sorry if I offended any ladies on this site with the "skirt" comment)
Let the flaming begin. I dished it, so I sure as Hell can take it!!!!!

 

ahh the l/t headers are for my 5.4 which isnt in the truck yet.

although the only difference i can think of would be you'd have to make your exhaust lower to meet the headers.


OBX

 

hey, you have to pick who you read posts from... there are a lot of us who have an idea wtf we are talking about... JMC knows the 4.6 - 5.4 swap well for example...

so chill out theres still tons of useful info in here, yeah we buried it but its in here.

Jbrew!!! i found a long arm design for my front a-arms im probably gonna make lol... now i just have to design a swing arm for the rear that mounts the 2 coilovers in the middle (i figure where the spare tire use to be is a great place to mock up a new shock tower.) without causing binding issues.

 

Nah, it's ok Ruger, I'm not mad and I see your point, but with this thread title and the number of pages it is, most people will stop reading after the first few pages, and realize it's bickering and "mine's better than yours" so I'll do my part to keep in here, and I shall try not to step on your toes quite as much, and I agree with you the search feature is very powerful, but now and then I have a specific question that I can't find without figuring the proper phrasing, most of my threads were questions when I first joined the site. As for chasing skirts, I have got one, and I somehow manage to spend around 40 hrs. a week at school, plus 10-12 hrs. a week commuting, 15-20hrs. doing FSAE check it out it's pretty cool, and I'm come here to help out others, and learn some stuff, when I have the spare time (You'll notice that during finals weeks I haven't been on here or any where other than at school). I spend quite a bit of time searching and browsing through old threads trying to learn all the problems and pluses of my truck.

I wish you the best, you are one the best types of people to learn from(yes, a compliment).

Oh yeah, I also spend around 8 hrs. every weekend surfing, you should try it, nothings better than hangin out buddies, relaxing, and clearing your mind.

 

Ah, I'm just a grumpy 'ol RED A** sometimes. Don't take it personal. It wasn't all directed at you. I think you can kind of see my point. Sometimes it gets a little annoying and D***heads like me have to vent. Take care and God Bless!!

 

Did you check the link I posted, here it is again .

Your absolutely correct about that!!!!!!!
Funny you should mention JMC. He is one that I have learned a great deal from and is Highly respected and Highly informative.
I have been wrenching professionally for almost 20 years on Diesel and gas engines, have worked for kenworth, freightliner, and mack dealers. Currently working for Cummins ( union shop) and I will never claim to know everything. Hell, I learn something new everyday at what I do and it will never stop! But if I am wrong, I'll own it, If I don't know, I'll ask but I will NEVER try to pretend like I know WTF I am talking about if I really don't. Some of the discussions in this thread were informative, comical, and then down right ridiculous sometimes. Then you get on a rant like me and just tell it like it is.

Must be that " MAN PERIOD " I'm going through. Having 2 daughters, wife, that will do it to you. just me and the dog to fend for ourselves!.. Oh Jeez, now look... I'm ranting on like a schoolgirl pajama party!!!!heh,heh

Take care y'all........ you too SlowerF150
