“The 6.9” project thread

No pictures but I had u bolts made for about 110$. I felt like that wasn’t bad considering I was supporting a small business even though the receptionist doesn’t seem to have a wonderful life.
Sorry if that’s mean, but it’s Monday at 9:30. Nobody wants to be at work, let’s get past that and sell me some damn bolts

Today I waisted some money

At least you'll gave a cool truck to pull it with!

I spent like 65$ on this. It’s from Amazon. I figured if it leaks that’s okay because it’s more than half the price of one of the big name brand ones. I’m cheap

Lets be honest. It's probably the same exact part. Might even be from the same warehouse

Yeah I was super impressed when I opened it One of my friends is a “everything has to be name brand or a kit” type of guy and he has the brand sump, I think it’s almost 200$. I had to screw with him about it, he didn’t like that too much.

I feel there's a time and place for that "OE or nothing" attitude. I don't think this part is it. Definitely worth finding the balance. He's probably one of those "my 95 civic only takes 93 octane" guys too?

Would have been nice if you could have had it right next to his though and compared!

I feel called out... I run 93 octane in my samurai

I run whatever I can get my hands on in my truck.

Well I uhh, ya see... Hmm ....



Wasn't meant as an insult, but I know people who like to waste money. There are valid reasons to run it, but that doesn't mean everyone needs to run it in their beater.

I was buying the 93 ethanol free for my lawnmower until I got smart. Not that it's a bad idea but I realized paying $5 for a gallon of 93 I was probably just getting what was left of the 87 in the hose from the last guy since they're common nozzle pumps.

That's why I try to not buy just one gallon. I like to fill up a 5 gallon gas can before I pump into my 1 gallon for my chainsaws. Or maybe I'll fill up a gas tank on a vehicle and then fill up the smaller cans.

Motorcycle riders have the same issue. 2 gallon tank and the first gallon is residuals from the last guy. I know guys that unless they have separate nozzles for each octane, they won't fill up there. I also know guys that buy 100LL from the local airport, because that's the nearest location for ethanol free gas.

@chillman88 im just giving you a hard time I don't drive it often so I run the better fuel through it. During the winter when I drive it more I run 88

He’s my best friend so I can say this, he’s got a 97 7.3 and he has that attitude towards dumb **** that doesn’t matter yet half the truck actually needs it Like he has a really nice e fuel kit on it with ragged out injectors and my vice grips are still on the fuel line for the front tank
