We need a chicken on our little cartoon characters!My fav. is this guy :nana2 It was nice to see Terrys shop, and the blown motors in the back.Funny i noticed the two trucks with blown motors were RED.Must be personality thing.The only thing i dont like about the L. motor is the rods. :bs I saw some nice steel rods going into one of those red L.. :tu:

[Beaudee]

I think anyone with a distorted L. rod from their motor should mail it back to ford eng.. :D You would be suprised of the results,thats what we do where i work when something is not up to par!!!

[L8 APEX]

I think Ford would be proud their stock rod held up to 530hp and 692ft lbs.

Any good design is 110% of rated load :D

Terry, i got to know what did those bent rods fail @.I did a bunch of R+D work and one time an engineer wanted to know what his design failed @ after i delibertly failed his chit. :D I guarentee ford would like to talk to you if you sent them one of those bow an arrows. :eek2:

College is the best thing you could be doing!When i was in college it was peanut butter sandwiches and a honda cb750f supersport motorcycle.Took 10 years to pay off my school loan.Just remember college and or job changes will always have some pain but its worth it in the end!!! :tu:

What Beau said. Don't get discouraged w/college and the current living situation.

It's CERTAINLY worth it when it's all over. Trust me. :)

Oh, btw... define "stock". :D

Oh trust me, i am in no way discouraged. Especially with the life im living, being able to have a Lightning, go to a very good school, have a nice house, and have the complete support of the family. I almost feel like i dont deserve to have everything i do sometimes.

It's just not easy reading all these forums about all the new mod's that yall do, and the way some of your trucks look. :beer: Maybe its more jealousy than anything?

Either way, i have a year left at TCU, then its debating on whether or not to go to Physical Therapy school for another 3+ years.

It's not the things you do in life you regret the most, it's the things you don't do :tu:

I'm stock 'cept for the cat-back, tho I just got my FRPP lowering kit today, and should be getting my sway bar any day now, so that "stock" thing is about to go out the window.

Next?? Prob'ly a 4#, or a brake kit.

With the 4# i deff. need some better brakes or a parachute. :d What a diff. the mods made woooo hoooo! :tu:

[Beaudee]

You should do the filter and pulley.I punched my truck doing a flyby on a friend @ work and he said the blower sounded like a police siren!He was driven a dodge hemi too!!He begged me for a ride and when we got back from lunch he said he was gona throw stones @ his truck! :tu:

[kirkmears]

mine's stock except for the slotted/drilled rotors & HPS pads, but for the most part, she's a virgin.:(

once i get it paid off, i doubt the motor will last a month before being violated in every manner.
