Well 67 went into my laptop without a hitch yesterday morning and IE8 is heaven compared to that archaic IE6. It's about freakin time they got with the times. Now I can get rid of that pile o' crap Mozilla that I had running aside IE6 on my laptop. I was using Mozilla because with IE6, I would get messages from websites saying that my browser was no longer supported and I also couldn't read everything properly. Mozilla was a crash prone browser and all the bugs it had for my emails were unbearable.

It's a blessing that I was still at IDS level 65, because I had actually tried to update my IDS to 66. But My IDS locked up tighter than a Nun's HMMMM HHHMMMMMM when I was installing 66. So I had to do a hard reboot on my laptop and it was still at 65 when I rebooted. And with all that I read about 66 on Protech and on here on DTS, I decided that 65 was just fine. Funny how things like that happen.

The 6.2l has totally impressed me. I can't wait to see what that baby will do in an F-150. The 6.7L on the other hand doesn't dissapoint me at all but I just don't see the "WOW" factor. It's seems only a little better than a 6.4L. But maybe the engine will loosen up a little as it breaks in. The truck itself really impresses me. And I think we will see allot more gas pot sales in the Superduty with the 6.2L on the market now. Like Alex says, what weekend warrior in their right freakin mind would buy a 6.7L? That would be the rest of this North American continent Jim. Because we all know that this is Alberta and there is hardly anyone out here that is in their right freakin mind.

How in the fuck would they access it from the fender liner anyway? This just doesn't make any sense. Similar to Mike, I just use a quarter inch ratchet and a 10mm socket along with a pry bar and look up from underneath the front of the engine. If this guy is 300lbs, he would have had to cut a big ass gouge out of the fender liner to fit his fat ass arms through cut out of the fender liner.

A vehicle with wheels like that deserves a "Nob" for the gear shifter and instead of a cactus for the antenna, another big ole' HMMM HHMmm. Oh yeah, and a bumper sticker that says something like: I'm a flamer and your not far enough up my ass yet. I can only imagine the attire in the interior. The Lumbar is probably a Bum Bar and the steering wheel is most likely apair of ass cheeks with a recessed hole for the horn button. Jim, where in the hell do find this shit and what on this earth posesses you to go looking for it?

Here's a couple of Jimbo's latest sayings around the shop: If you keep poking at a zit, it'll eventually pop. And of course the country song that he's been singing lately: It's Hard To Kiss The Lips At Night That Chew Your Ass Out All Day Long.

It doesn't surprise me a bit though. With all these bullshit chargebacks and absolutely fucking retarded comments like "Rarely claimed labour operation" or "above national average", it doesn't surprise me a darned bit. Imagine how this shit looks to the customers. I'm sorry sir, but we have reached our warranty quota for the month and you are just going to have to wait or go somewhere else. What the fuck has this industry come to?

The torque specs have changed in the ARP bolt kits. If you get a blue pack of thread lubricant that is called Ultra Torque Lubricant, the spec is now 210 ft/lbs. The older white bag of lubricant was Moly lubricant and the spec was 245 ft/lbs. I talked to ARP about this and they said the old Moly lubricant created allot of nut chatter. the new lubricant should cut down drastically on the chatter. Either way, there will the little piece of paper in the box that tells you the torque spec. Just thought I'd mention it though so no one misses it.

Got mine in school too.

Oh yaaaaaayyyyy! That's gonna make it just great for competing with the after market. Now we will charge proper labor time to clean up a turbine housing and then rip it apart and find the unison ring is worn and charge for more parts or we may even just quote for it up front and price ourselves out of the market even more. Yaaaaayyyyy! WTF?

Has anyone priced out a DPF yet? I'm in 6.7L school right now and just learned that it is all one piece from the cat all the way back to the DPF. I can only imagine the price of that baby.

Not to mention how much cheaper the maintenance will be on the 6.2L.

I'm speechless. Hang in there.

I deal with these P.O.S systems on a regular basis. What a f&@ckin nightmare. After all, Alberta is the cock pump capital of North America. So far, we just charge these fuckers to tell them to return it to stock. All kinds of communications issues with this shit.

You know, I have always wondered what the fuck is wrong with the perfectly sealed factory air intake system that draws cold air right from the front of the truck. It never stops to amaze me at how many idiots there are out there that will pay hacks to hack their trucks to shit.

Man, it's been a really really long time since I've ever seen any kind of reward system. And if there are these so called reward systems, they are allways aimed towards maintenance techs. tTe last one I can remember was about four years ago and no flat rate diesel tech doing over 90% warranty work ever has a hope in hell of getting any kind of reward. Which brings me to the question.......What are the rewards for doing what we do? I can only write off a maximum of $1800.00/year for a maximum return of $500.00/year. No bonus programs for warranty techs......and don't tell me my career is my reward Jim. Because Carpenters, Bank Managers, Doctors, lawyers and Indian Chiefs all get that same reward, but they also get allot more than that. Shit! That's it! This career has allowed me to become a raging Alcoholic Beer Connoisseur. What the hell was I thinking all these years?

Good luck to ya Larry on whatever your next step is. One thing I should have mentioned is to make sure you and the Mrs. communicate properly. That's what I was getting at when I said that them females is a hard species to read. They sometimes send mixed messages and you have to pry the fucking meaning of their madness out of those messages even if you have to tell them to speak perfectly clear fucking English. I became an asshole after my Ex-waste of skin had her way with me. But I find that it is better being a truthful asshole. When my ole' lady is giving me mixed messages, I literally tell her to speak fucking English because I don't have a crystal ball up my ass and even if I did I still wouldn't know how to read it anyway. She then makes things clear for me and this new wonderful asshole system just seems to work really well for me. I'm not telling you to be an asshole though, but it just works really well for me. When we got together ten years ago, I told her: I love her for who she is and don't want her change and that this is who I am and who I will be and the way I will be for the rest of my life and if you don't like it, there's the fucking door! Here we are ten years later after living together for ten years and being married for the last year and I love every minute of it. Oh yeah, and PMS=Psychotic Menstrual Syndrome or Mad Cow Disease. That's the weak I stay in the damned garage and tell her to stay away from me for a weak. LOL.

Have you two talked about moving in together first and possibly living together before you try out the marriage thing again? Has she hinted toward marriage at all or just being together more? Them females is a a hard species to read. Me and my ole' lady were together for nine years before we got married last January. We were actually really good friends for thirteen years before we even got together. Just had our first year anniversary. Feels good. I figured after that many years of getting the milk for free, it was time to finally buy the cow. But it took me eight years to finally feel comfortable enough to ask the question. It just felt so damned good living together the way we were. She was always my wife to me anyway. It never felt any different than that. Now there's just those three extra little pieces of gold and diamonds on her finger. I imagine you will be seeing a two or three page reply from Jim soon enough.

I read that as well. He was a Master Ford Diesel Tech. I wonder what he made off of the deal.

I's be looking real close between the rad and the CAC for a plugged rad before anything.

Dammit Jim. You opened up that can of fuckin worms and the odor has spread over to my bay. But in my case it's a fuckin Squeakin Noise that's in my bay now. Anyone ever hear the infamous 6.0L camshaft squeak when you have a worn off lobe and a locked up lifter? That's what the fucking 6.4L in my bay is doing right now. FUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.forddoctorsdts.com/public/style_emoticons/default/drinkingdude.gif http://www.forddoctorsdts.com/public/style_emoticons/default/drinkingdude.gif Jim has mentioned a few times that selling Amway seems like a great calling. I'm thinking Gravel truck and a Bobcat. It would be nice to play with man size Tonka toys again.

You know, this would be a great marketing item for companies like Ford, Snap-on and Mac. I would be alot more proud to wear any of those names on my hat rather than wear a freakin Napa hat. Napa on my hat just seems a little degrading. Not that it much matters though, because my give a shit button is so damned broken it just doesn't matter how much it gets pushed anymore. But I will wear that Napa hat before I wear that damned "Nob The Builder" hat. I'm laughing me ars off at that "No it's Fucked" caption Aaron.

My problem is I'm too tall for my freakin hoist. The arms don't go over my head. I was wearing my Napa Baseball bump cap today while I had a cab lifted in the air. I smacked my head twice on those freakin hoist arms. Thank god for that cap. I used to get so freakin mad when I smacked my head on those damned arms. Now it just doesn't seem all that bad.

Here's some photo's of our new safety gear: Sorry I took so long to get these up here Aaron. I know you've been waiting patiently. Hopefully Kenny will email me our family photo soon of all of us wearing these goofy things. We had to have a family photo taken to send to O.H.&S.

THis is a quote out of that W.A.N: The use of alcohol based fuel additives will absorb the water into the fuel bypassing the Water in Fuel separator, will not turn the Water In Fuel light on, resulting in fuel and injection system damage. What a fucking bunch of Bullshit. If that's the case, then what the fuck causes the water to get past the filters all fucking summer long?
