  1. I only put it in when I want to see what’s going on.
  2. Yes, he is. He did mine as well. And since I'll use that on Big Blue I'll have to have him do another for Dad's truck. Thought I’d show y’all the high falutin’ gauge I installed!
  3. That worked on my phone! Pretty slick with the bulls nose in there!
  4. No, not really. Some people think I’m grumpy at times...but what do they know?! Needed an email name and have used it as a user name for some time.
  5. That’s what I thought. Could have been on the coast I guess. Redmond is “high and dry”!
  6. Au contraire! If you remove the kickdown linkage on the C6 it won't downshift until you pull it down with the shift lever. I ran Rusty that way for several years 'cause I was too cheap to invest in the Edelbrock adapter to fit the linkage to the carb. Then I got to liking it and didn't want to change. Thought about doing that, but like the quick downshift in lower speed situations. May try it someday.
  7. That’s the one thing I really dislike about the C6, you can’t torque it up a hill. Being a three speed it almost scares me when it downshifts! I didn’t care for the E4OD in the 1994 F250 I had, it was troublesome. It was a 460 with 4.10 gearing also. The E4OD in my Bronco is great, 3.55 gearing and it will let you torque up a hill to a point. I think the E4OD behind a diesel or 460 is weak and should be “beefed up”.
  8. I like manuals! I own automatics. I had a 1988 F250 with the 7.3 and ZF5. I owned it before I had my left hip replaced. It was bothersome to painful in traffic. I would have to try a truck before I bought one with a manual. I’ve had smaller vehicles with manuals and no problems, curious how I’d do now in a full size truck. I just feel like I’m driving with a manual!
  9. I like the white one also, I agree, clean. I also like the green.
  10. Told my wife the other day that with everything that has come up I haven’t worked on the truck like I wanted. But I have used it, so shouldn’t complain!
  11. I'm reminded of the response we used to give when someone asked for a radio check: "I've got mine."
