You are such a dipstick! :-laf :-laf

That's funny... kind of like my son who went thru 4 already on his 05... one never made 15 miles and that was installed by the dealer.

Break in? Cool down? Foot NOT thru the firewall ever? Answer is NO to all those.

He just pays. :-laf

Hey, I break 'em in and cool them down just fine. My issue is the foot through the firewall thing. Especially doing donuts, this snow was pretty wet and heavy so it took an open throttle to get it to whip around right.



Meh, I guess some good came out of it, cuz the little lady that was in my truck that I was trying to impress is now my girlfriend. Hear that Jimmy? All you gotta do is drive it like you stole it, and the honeys will come running.

haha yea i here that matt. ill keep that in mind:-laf and by the way, congrats on the woman.



so when are we gonna slap a set of bigger stacks on your truck??? i mean, im thinkin you should get some 7inch flat-tops... the way you keep your foot in it, that would sound incredibly nasty. if you can come a little farther south id be willing to help you with the 4inch downpipe then we can do 6inch pipe behind the TC and a 6 or 7inch y-pipe with 7, hell why not 8 inch stacks.



thats what i want on my next truck after i graduate. an 07' 5. 9 dually 6spd 4door with dual 7 or 8inch flat tops, powdercoated black also, to match some black wheels and a set of black ranchhand bumpers.

Glad to hear that chicks still dig the ole first gens. My missus always complained that she had to wear a sports bra when she rode in my '93. My brother's girlfriend likes his '93 better that his '01 too. We have yet to convert her as she is a diehard fxxd fan, decent trucks; boat anchor under the hood.

I had a buddy who bought a 94 ford f250 351 4x4 around the same time I bought my truck, and it would drive him nuts how many people would go out of their way to come up and talk to me about my truck, and that never happened to him. Its just another white ford. Congrats.



He and his now wife actually met thanks to me, my truck, and my now ex girlfriend. We were driving down highway 100, the infamous cruisin' strip of Milwaukee, right during crusing hours. I was in my truck with my girlfriend at the time, Camile, he was following in his. He's done all sorts of stuff to make his truck stand out, too. 4" lift, stacks, 8' CB whip on the roof, air horns. This girl in an old beat up honda accord with the "country girl" confederate flag sticker on the window passes right past my buddy and pulls up on the passengers side of my truck. She shouts "nice truck" at Camile. We end up pulling over and introducing her to my buddy, and they got married about a year and a half later. Best part is, when we pulled over, Camile went with this girl into the gas station to buy some cigarettes and the girl, not knowing me and Camile were dating, says to her "your brother is hot, and I love his truck. "

hhahaha thats too great!! and soo true. i dont care what you do to a ford, its really hard to make it truely one of a kind, cause like you said... "its just another ford"



yea chicks deffinatly dig the old 1st gens for sure. i think the sound has a lot to do with it. they like the fact that they can hear you before they can see you, gets the anticipation up These 1st gens also put you up a lot higher in the cab then a 2nd gen, they like that too. dont ask me why. great story tho matt. :-laf:-laf:-laf:-laf:-laf
