Hey Ford!!! Screw you guys!!!!


LOL, I have lost nothing, but I do apologize for what was evidently considered a cheap shot. That was not the intent. The Mods can delete it if they choose. Maybe they already have, I'm not going back to look.

I still don't like friction held timing gears and no amount of "science" is going to change my mind. I also prefer torque over HP in a work truck.
Yes, putting turbos (or superchargers) on a 1.5, 2.5 or 3.5 liter engine is going to help it out a lot in that department and flatten the curve, but it also works on 5.0, 5.7, 6.0 and 6.2 liter engines in the same way.

@8thTon you can call it a win if you like. It really means nothing to me either way and I do sincerely apologize if I hurt your feelings or anyone else's.
 
And people have the audacity to bitch about 2.9 & 3.0.

**** every part of that.

I'll chip in on shipping. All of my sh*t will eventually get totaled by a basic on a phone. I don't want to have to deal with this sh*t.

The Vulcan is a terrific engine; slow, yes; fuel-efficient, no, not per se; virtually indestructible, yes!
 
Forgive my ignorance, but sometimes I get @8thTon and @G8orFord mixed up. I think it's the "8's"
also confuse @Uncle Gump with @Grumpaw
So I suggest a new rule: "If your TRS handles look/sound similar, you can NOT argue with each other."

You spelled terrible wrong... I’ll assume it was auto-correct.

But Dirtman has been known to argue with Dirtman... is that acceptable?
 
What is so terrible about the 3.0?
It gets a lot of hate here. The Vulcan 3.0 is somewhat of a bastard child of the ford motors. The 2.8, 2.9, & 4.0 share some parts/tech and the I4's are all derivatives of each other, 2.0, 2.2, 2.3, & 2.5 are all the same except small displacement differences and carb vs. Fuel Injected. The Vulcan has to really get up into the RPM's to get any power from them, so people say they are gutless at low RPM. I liked mine just fine, until I bent a valve in it. So I am swapping my Vulcan for a 5.0V8

It still dont get the hate that the 2.9 does...despite the 2.9 being (arguably) superior in most ways.

Hating on the 3.0, will complaining about people hating the 2.9

Without starting the torque vs horsepower/ turbo gasser vs big block argument back up ...

The 2.9l is a better truck engine than the 3.0l.

And a flat plane crank makes a better truck motor, but that didn't stop ford from putting one in the new Mustang either.

Quoted for no reason in particular... but I suddenly remember this joke:

As a TRS member who shall remain nameless was driving down the freeway, his phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Honey, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on 280. Please be careful!"

"Hell," said Rus... I mean the TRS member that shall remain nameless, "It's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!"
