    So what's the verdict on the 6.0L?

    I was thinking the same thing. "A few friends" isn't a statistical sample that's worth a damn so any conclusions you draw from such a limited sample aren't really valid or worth considering.

    Happy Birthday WD!

    Ditto! I can't blame you, Bama, for not including ALL the candles after your first camera melted from all the heat on the first attempt.;) :roflmao

    Beef Steak, Taters & Oynion

    No thanks--I don't think "Tough" is a word that should ever be applied to a good, properly cooked piece of meat.

    some issues!!!

    The smoke at startup sounds alright if it's only when you first start and the engine's cold. Has the weather gotten colder lately? The morning temperature here is down to the high 20's/low 30's (Farenheit--appx -15 C) and I see just a touch of white smoke at startup that goes away in the first...

    Wow.................

    IMO it's a coin toss whether that play or the Cal/Stanford play from 1982 was the craziest ending ever in college football. Either way, they're both fun to watch.:eek: :D

    The day was nice--not real dramatic but very pleasant. I got some stuff done around the house (mentioned in my first post) that needed to be done, watched a helluva football game (UGA vs. Florida) then had a good supper. I R happy. :D :D :D :D :D My Mom and Dad sent me a Walker, Texas...

    Noooooooooooo!!!!!!

    Thanks for reminding me--I need to stock up as well before the price goes up. It's not as if the price jump from $11 to $12 a case will kill me, but you've got to economize where you can.:D :D

    I don't want to get within a mile of Rampy's sewer. I'm not a real smart guy but at the same time I'm not nearly dumb enough to do something like that. ;)

    POKE HERE WARNING: This is borderline NSFW--nothing too racy but some folks around here are rather straight-laced regarding pictures of wimmenz in their underwear.

    Thanks guys--this is my first official step toward the geezerdom some of you have already achieved. I have celebrated, so far, by replacing the garbage disposal in the kitchen sink and cleaning out the gutters. WooHoo--I doubt this day can get any more exciting...:rolleyes:

    stupid question but i dont know the answer

    But if you get them in chrome, that's worth 100 hp/150-lb-ft.;) What's that I hear? Oh, it must be Bama's VISA card leaping out of his wallet after hearing that there's another chrome accessory to buy...:roflmao :tounge

    Home Fix it Guys...Have A Crack in da Ceiling

    That'll be tough to do. How big of a repair is involved will depend on how much is going wrong--if a piece of joint tape has come un-done, that's a simple fix but if the drywall has come off the underlying ceiling structure, the repair will be quite a bit more involved. If the drywall has come...

    A 350 With The 450 Front Axle

    That's pretty neat and could be quite lucrative for Ford or the aftermarket. If Ford would re-introduce the Excursion, I can see an ENORMOUS market for them (with the fold-down rear ramp) as a wheelchair-transport/ambulance-type vehicle since you wouldn't need to add any additional lift...

    Help, Need Holster Options For Sig P229R W/TLR-1

    I have contact info for a saddle maker/all-around leather working guy out past Burns if you want it--from what I've seen of his work, he could probably fix you up with something custom.

    Burn the house down and start over. I don't claim that is the best option, but it is an option to consider...;)

    California Fires

    The Air Guard C-130 unit in town here is mobilizing since they're one of the only C-130 MAFFS-capable units in the country. Their planes have been aviating all day, I'm guessing, in preparation to ship out.

    Plumber In Da House?? Got Questions

    I don't think you could call the soil around the sewer pipe draining Rampy's chitter "rich". "Godawful contaminated Superfund-level toxic waste site", maybe, but definitely not "rich".:roflmao :eek:

    Things to do while R/R'ing ball joints?

    Cool--thanks. Is it OK if I wait until it quits snowing before crawling about under my truck? Are there any other bushings/bearings that I should replace while I'm that far into things? This "while I'm at it" mode of thinking is going to get expensive, but I'd rather fix things properly...
