Doing the Virtual tour thru the engine was cool. They should extend it and make a IMAX movie out of it. I like the front end as well. Has anyone released MSRP yet?

Aaron,Shlep are you out there?

USE A WPT359

I know on the larger trucks you can go into the parameters and adjust the road speed, but I never heard of doing it to a f250-F550.

Looks like rear gear train. Are these quieter than most C/O's? That looks like a tag axle. Can it lift like a tag axle can? Or is it just for steering assist?

Individual Cyl Heads, looks very similar to a Volvo diesel. IIRC Scania and Volvo work together.

I would also concur on the sending unit.... Also you may want to check the tank for rust or delamination. Been on a run of tanks here lately 7-8 in the last week.

Just thought about this.... GM dropped the MD line and so is Ford, so who is going to jump in and fill the void? Dodge maybe? Or do you think that IH,KW,Pete,Freightliner and Volvo may ramp up their MD's? Around here Ford and GM MD's are the majority.

It may make a difference. I sell maybe 2 Duramax turbos to every 10 of the PSD 6.0's. Most of the Duramax failures are bearing related, unlike the 6.0 which is primarily due to coking issues.

Who does this sound like????? An oily, disreputable looking fellow walks into a bank with a large sack on his back. Seeing an open teller, the man walks up to the young lady and places the sack on the counter. "I want to open a fucking savings account!" the man grunts. "I am sorry sir, we prefer politer customers," she replied, offended. "Okay, look I just wanna open a fucking banking account." "I'm sorry, but you just can't speak that way." The supervisor, seeing the trouble went over to check on the situation. She got there and got the story from the teller. Trying another tack, she decided to handle the situation herself. "How can I help you?" she asked, all smiles. "Listen, I would like to open a FUCKING savings account!" "I am sorry, but we do not deal with people who use vulgar language." Finally, the bank manager came over to settle the matter. "What is the matter here?" he asked. "Look," replied the customer, "I just won 47 million dollars in the lottery and I wanted to open a fucking savings account to deposit all the cash in." "Are these two bitches giving you trouble?" quickly replied the manager.

Think it will ever get here???? http://paultan.org/2009/09/14/2-seater-v...00km-travelled/

Just ran across this, looks like the shops in Manitoba will be busy with fuel repairs........ http://www.biodieselmagazine.com/article.jsp?article_id=3715

This may explain CGI a little better..... http://www.competitiveproduction.com/features/default.aspx?article_id=1388

Man, to be a fly on the wall at Jim and Dwaynes shop.... This would make good television....

Holy Crap!!!! Dwayne are those the customers custom seat covers??? Let me guess the customer expects the complimentary carwash after the service.

IIRC that is correct. That is a shit job pulling the heater box out of those vans. Oh and by the way, the diapers were empty weren't they????

Dwayne, I bet Jim was snickering when they dispatched that one to you.

This article may clear up some of the reasons why we don't see more diesels in North America. Big Three don't see them as money makers here, as well as they aren't as "sexy" as the Hybrids. WTF http://www.wired.com/autopia/2009/02/ford-will-give/

Good choice on it being a temporary repair.

Nope, I really think the real killer of the diesel's here were......GM 5.7 Conversion junk, not to mention the pumps in the valley were a real bitch to change.

Quote: "I'll tell you who "doesn't get it". It's the American consumer who doesn't get it. The rest of the world "gets it"." It's the perception that doesn't seem to be able to be changed. Diesels are dirty!!!! Most of that comes from the media.

Aaron, I spoke with our S/M. He has done a couple of these "TEMP" repairs. He taps out the tank, use a brass pipe nipple and some epoxy and lets it setup. He has had about 50% luck with it. It may be worth it to try in the mean time until you can get a Radiator in.

I was doing some web surfing and came across this one. I now have it book marked. Will be useful in the future I'm sure.... https://www.fleet.ford.com/TRUCKBBAS/TOPICS/hotinfo.html

Sunday morning and no dog bites yet. Last night went out to the local speedway and watched some of the local rednecks on the 1/8 mile oval and several figure 8's. Enjoyed the evening with no casualties. The weekend is still young.....

Hey all, enjoy the well deserved day off. May your glasses never be empty and your belly's full.
