I'm not going to play your little game, take it back to the CH

For what? To get the "real truth".

I was just questioning how you get 23 mpg on average when not one owner I have read on a dozen or more sites is reporting the same? Including myself. This is a big, important topic on other forums, with a growing number of owners who feel something is "not right" about the mileage claims. Trying to discuss it openly and without "puffery" and name calling, but (as usual) a couple of you cant seem to muster up the class to get through one post, espically when you start losing the argument.

Why post "fiction as fact"?

While on that subject...and all this "mechanic qualifiications" talk.....didnt you, a few years ago or so, post (after Scott M questioned or outed you) that you were not a mechanic, but ran a steam cleaning machine or some automated parts washer in some shop?

I seem to remember it that way, and if I am wrong I apologize in advance.

Just checking the creds.

No sir, you are a liar. You have a history of making things up in the CH and

running off when asked to back your lies. Many in the CH are all too familiar with

that being your M-O as we've seen you do it many times.

I would ask you for a link, but that would be a waste of time since no such thing was

ever said. You know no such thing ever took place between Scott & I.

My job has been in on my page for years here (QC engineer) which you've curiously

looked on my profile multiple times, and if it makes you happy I was half owner

of an small automotive machine shop.

The reality is you most likely read that on some of my older threads and decided to

make up something based on that.

It's enjoyable watching him contradict himself. A good engine builder can go through an engine and make it perform well regardless of make.

351Cs were designed more for suspended high speeds. If he knew much about Clevelands he would have mentioned their lackluster oiling systems and

razor thin cylinder walls.

A real car guy would know the difference between a machinist and a mechanic

Brad,

DITTOS!!!!

Bigunde,

The TWIT doesn't back down,does he?

Yak,

It's A-S-E, not ASS. The only A-S-S-E-S we have are you and big hammer!! Like Bigunde said, we "old-timers" are LOAO at you two!

[yak]

listen brass, its obvious you dont work on anything truck produced by the big three built within the last 10 years. you 2 idiots can llaugh all you want at me , i guarantee you there is more people loling at you from this forum for sticking up for ford than you can shake your fist at. i just think your trying to get into toms pants.i base my opinion about ford trucks based on what i see come into the shop everyday.

i dont even know where to start with how bad ford sucks... bloated fuel economy figures especially for the ecoboost? na ..... guess how 2004 and up ford rear springs we change compared to same year chev and dodge. its 10 ford to 1 chev or dodge. i can check misfire counts on old dodges and chevys with my snapon scanner. had a 2006 ford explodition come in with misfires and they still dont have misfire counters, have to drive it before a misfire code will come on.(oh ya broke 7 of 8 plugs on it but thanks to my napa removal tool i had all 8 plugs changed in less than 3 hours) with a ford scanner maybe its different but i'm not buying a scan tool for each manufacturer. seriously even stupid things like where they put the fuse box on a recent ford truck will piss a guy off when fuses are so easy to check on the other trucks. but i guess some guys on here want to talk about how sweet 351 cleveland heads( were 351cs even put in trucks?) or how tough 1972 ford frames are. is there retarded things that dodge and chev/gm do? you bet! but they are not near as frustrating as owning,driving servicing or fixing a 1997 and up ford truck

THE BEST TRUCKS BUILT RIGHT NOW ARE NOT THE FORD F SERIES TRUCK!


on a side note V8 diesels are the best( except the ones that ford has been using since the 90s) and 6 cylinder diesels are for queers ! lmao, this is fun

ASS certification! come on you have to admit that was a good one though

[hurryinhoosier62]

No,yak(American slang for vomiting)

It wasn't good. I'll put my experience (30+yrs) up against yours ANY DAY. BTW....diagnosised God knows how many injector codes on Power Stroke 7.3s, rebuilt
THOUSANDS of HEUI injectors and Rexroth high-pressure oil pumps along with THOUSANDS of Standadyne, Bosch,Nippondenso, GM 6.2/6.5, Yanmar, EMD,ALCO,Fairbanks Morse and Lord only knows mechanical injectors. Align bored, set cam bore repairs,saddle repairs,thrust surface repairs,crevice seal repairs, bored cylinders, honed cylinders, align honed saddles, milled decks and machine operations I'm willing to bet you've never seen, let alone done and ground THOUSANDS of crankshafts. Care to compare,neophyte??

1) Why would they be laughing and who are these people ?

2) I'm sure a few see your grammar as no laughing matter.

3) Bottom line : Ford did not need a government bailout. Why did GM if they're so great ?

4) You talk about scan codes alot. In plain English it sounds like you're a parts changer. You can give a monkey a banana to do that.

5) Of course you can't tell us how bad Ford sucks because they don't

6) Ford V8 diesels suck ? Is that why they lasted well in countless medium duty trucks and do quite well in drag racing (mine was well in the 11s)

Actually that was a pretty damn weak attempt @ humor...

In my experience,the only techs that enjoy poking fun at those with ASE certs are those very same techs that cant (or simply dont have enough self-confidence to even try to) pass the ASE tests.

There is absolutely no valid reason for a working tech to avoid getting their certs.

It has never hurt any tech to be ASE certified.

And usually the employer covers the cost,so dont try to say it's about the $$$ either.

FWIW

My truck runs GREAT with 289000 on it. And we are not just arguing engines here are we guys? Any fool can build an engine to last, but building the rest of the truck to last is what counts. Ford will win that hands down. Government Motors FTL.

Yea, but, but what about " i guarantee you there is more people loling at you from this forum " like they are above ?

[hurryinhoosier62]

Bret,

A heartly AMEN!!! The longest two hours of my life was when I took my first ASE Master exam. If you don't courage to take the tests yourself, keep your mouth off those of us that do!!

Why would someone bring a brand new truck, still under warranty, to an independent shop?

LOL, He is just a BRAND specific hater. With that list of vehicles in his signature, he gets plenty of experience being a wrench turner/parts changer. I save the mechanic title for our experienced seasoned folks in here.

Cracked plugs? Condensation in the CAC? PCM reprogram? All "Known" issues.
