Silly Ford Guy!
It's true it's true
As hard as it may be to believe I built that truck myself.....well I had a little help, in fact I have to give credit to Santa Clause for the idea of hiding the second turbo and of course The tooth fairy came up with the 6.5" exhaust. We were shocked with that too, but hey I ain't askin no questions.
One more thing Since we put this thing together in area 54 there are a couple more surprises waitin for ol' Ford Boy

Yup.
No one buys a used vehicle without checking under the hood.
Even my mother, who has no idea what she is looking at takes a peek under the hood.
Probably even kicks the tires, which accomplishes nothing, unless they are Firestone.

actually I bought my truck site unseen as I was stuck up at work and couldn't get out for a month and it was exactly what I was looking for .............
so not only did I not look under the hood , but I didn't even know what it looked like .........
well he told me it was a 99 4x4 quad with a 24valve/5spd and it had 100, 000km on it & it was in better than average condition,so I had an idea ..........
but I had dealt with that salesman in the past and trusted his evaluation on condition

as for the ford guy .well I would think a twin equipt truck with the many mods needed to support them would draw a higher than average price , so you'd think he would ask why it's soo high ...................
I call bs on his story

After reading this post, I decided to finally look under my hood for the first time. What did I find???? 12 turbos .... twins on each cylinder. And that thing that I thought was an extra drive shaft running under my truck turned out to be a 10 1/4 inch exhaust. Now I understand how I could tow that 18 wheeler that was stranded going up a mountain the other day.
Sounds like the Ford salesman was as informative as usual. Had no idea what he is selling or could care less as long as he makes some $$$. warranty??? BTY, I found a warehouse with 12 new unused 90 thru 93 4x4 CTDs. anyone interested?

What do you mean? Are you insinuating he might have stretched the truth a bit? I have never known anybody from Texas to tell anything but the truth, never heard of a Texan telling a tall tale.
Well,,,since everyone is looking under the hood of their trucks I thought I would do so as well. I WAS SHOCKED! When I opened the hood I found a kitty CAT under the hood
. I had to move the cat so I could see the turbo (another big
). Sorry, but I only saw one turbo. So I guess I have a turbo powered CAT (yet another big
). So before I started the truck so I could hear the turbo I had to shoo the CAT from under the hood
. Moral of the story...those who can brag without lieing, let them brag.

900 HP? Don't the light duty 7.3 L V-8's start exploding around 500 HP? I don't know of ANY driveline that would fit under a F-450 and handle 2200 ft-lbs. Hope he's got good trailer brakes...wait a sec...he didn't know he had to plug in the trailer's electrical circuit either!
