TO MARK ABOUT THE MODS SOME OTHER GUY DONE ON HIS TRUCK!!! HOPE YOU ARE KIDDING. THESE 6.0 FORDS ARE THE BIGGEST BOAT ANCHORE'S WE HAVE EVER OWNED. I HAVE BEEN A FORD GUY ALL MY LIFE UNTIL RIGHT AFTER I PURCHASED THIS LAST FORD F350 WITH THE 6.0 05. I HAVE VOWED NEVER TO PURCHASE ANOTHER NEW FORD PERIOD. FORD AND INTERNATIONAL NEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING. AND WHAT THEY ARE STILL DOING. THE OLD 7.3 HAD 20 HEAD BOLTS ON EACH SIDE, THE 6.0 HAS 10 HEAD BOLTS ON EACH SIDE. WAIT A MINUTE, THEY TURN THE 6.0 600-800 RPM MORE AND PUT OUT 60-80 HP MORE THAN THE OLD 7.3. TAKE THE 7.3 SIZE DOWN TO 6.0. LET'S TAKE HALF THE HEAD BOLTS OUT SO THEY DON'T LAST AS LONG AS THE 7.3. MY 6.0, 1ST TIME, 18,000 MILES, NEW HEADS. 2ND TIME 38,000 MILES, NEW HEADS, THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 9 TIMES. 4 OF WHICH, THEY CLAIMED NOT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. EXCUSES AFTER EXCUSES. LAST TIME, 98,000 MILES, NOT KNOWN WHY IT USES WATER AND DOESN'T BOOST LIKE IT USED TO. AND ALSO, AFTER NORMAL RUNNING, PULLING A TRAILER, SHUT ENGINE OFF, AFTER 20 MINUTES OF NOT RUNNING, ENGINE WILL BURN COOLANT OUT THE EXHAUST. WHITE SMOKES FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE AND STOPS SMOKING. CHECK WATER LEVEL, USES VERY LITTLE. I SUSPECT A SENSOR IN THE COOLANT SYSTEM. NO WATER IN OIL, NO OIL IN WATER, EVERY 5,000 MILES USES MAYBE 1 QUART OF WATER. IF ANYBODY KNOWS WHAT SENSOR OR WHAT TO CHECK OR REPLACE, WOULD YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW.... RANDY SIMS TRINIDAD, TEXAS 832-293-2430 HIPOFOMOCO@YAHOO.COM THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED TO WORK ONLY. IF I WANTED A RIDE I WOULD RIDE MY 69 CHEVELLE OR 28 FORD ROADSTER OR 77 CHEVY 4X4. I BOUGHT MY WIFE A NEW DODGE P/U AND THEY CHANGE THE OIL AND FILTER FREE. TAKE HER SHOPPING AND GAVE US 3/36000 AND A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE POWER TRAIN. FORD AND INTERNATIONAL NEW THIS 6.0 WAS A STEPPING STONE TO REACH WHAT CHEVY HAS ALREADY ACHIEVED. THE 2012 EMISSIONS RULES. FORD STOPPED USING THE 6.0 EARLY AND STARTED USING THE 6.4 EARLIER THAN EXPECTED. I HEARD ABOUT THE LAWSUITE ALSO. I CALLED INTERNATIONAL AND TOLD ME IN THE DESIGN OF THIS 6.0 ENGINE WAS TORQUE TO YEILD HEADBOLT. ONE TIME USE HEAD BOLTS. I PURCHASED A SET OF ARP HEAD BOLTS THAT CERTAINLY HOLD ALOT MORE PRESSURE THAN THE ORIGINALS. 10 HEAD BOLTS JUST IS NOT ENOUGH TO HOLD THIS KIND OF PRESSURES. 22/23 TO 1. MY 69 CHEVELLE 498 CU INCH HAS 13 TO 1 COMPRESSION AND IT HAS 838 HP ON DYNO AND ALOT MORE HEAD BOLTS PER SIDE. ALMOST DOUBLE THE AMOUNT. FORD 6.0 HAS 325 HP - - - BIGGEST BOAT ACHORE YET..... STAY TUNED - I HAVE SAID MY PRAYERS THAT FORD GOES OUT OF BUSINESS.....

Honda engine
by fergie5 on Mon Jul 28 18:57:09 PDT 2008
My son had a 1996 Honda Civic that he was fixing up for Nopi. He moved to Florida, took his care and left me with all high performance parts to sell. The only one I have a question on is the motor. It is a DOHC VTEC B16A Block/RM Performance BU7L7/Bored and Stroked/JE Pistons/Crowley Crankshaft and Rods/ARP Head Studs/RCS Cam Gears/Aftermarket Cams/Turbo Ready.The sleeves are AEBS. The work was done by an ex-nopi driver who professionally does Euro cars. It was never put in his car. It was run on a Dyno, put on a pallet and placed in my shed. There was alot of money put into it but was told I could only get about $3500.00 to $4,000.00 for it. I'm into muscle cars so have no idea of it's value. All the Honda place told me ,was that is illegal street in Colorado and they don't deal in high performance. Any ideas or suggestions out there. Thanks James

The suggestion that sales numbers, or any type of marketing data, or quality of advertising, or consumer-oriented statistics somehow reveal the excellence of a car... is idiotic. So true. Using sales figures to determine which car is best for you is like someone using divorce statistics to determine if his or her particlar future spouse is a worthy bet. It's nonsense. Somebody used the term prowess to describe being number one in sales without conveniently mentioning that the LS is number one in sales mainly because of its lowball price relative to the competition. In a prior post I had shown how the MB S Class is in fact NUMBER ONE in terms of sales revenue and that was mainly due to the higher prices(actual ARP) they sold for relative to the LS. Although IMO that is highly irrelevant in terms of a reason for buying an MB S Class.
Sale of Volvo contemplated

Ford eyes sale of Volvo cars, BMW interested, says newspaper Automotive News | 4:00 am, May 29, 2007 STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – Loss-making Ford Motor is planning to sell Volvo and BMW could be a possible buyer, a Swedish newspaper said on Monday, May 28. The Goteborgs Posten daily reported on its Web site that a source within Ford said BMW has been studying a possible purchase of Volvo. The Financial Times also reported Friday, May 25, that BMW was in informal talks to buy Volvo. "We cannot comment on speculation, this is a question for our owner," said a spokeswoman for Volvo cars. Ford bought Volvo in 1999 and it is now part of the US company's Premier Automotive group, including Jaguar and Land Rover. Ford does not disclose results for its individual brands, but taken together its luxury line-up lost $327 million in 2006. Merrill Lynch has said Ford could raise over $9 billion by selling the remaining luxury car brands. Volvo CEO Fredrik Arp told Reuters in March that Ford was committed to keeping the Swedish carmaker.

>"Slick rick" trying to sell me a car with an AARP discount, What's wrong with AARP discounts. I've used them since 50. I'll bet if I stop at the BMW dealer they'll find an equivalent--maybe GARP discount oder Deutsche ARP.
