Kenny got the cab off this afternoon. Blown up long block is sitting on an engine stand. Great progress for the first day!

Unfortunately as things look we will not be having one.

Peoria City Counsel is trying to do away with all extra curicular activities at the Heart Of Illinois Fairgrounds.

Pretty sad when they've been having truck/tractor pulls since the 50's when my dad was a little guy

So awesome! I'm hoping we see a few strong 6.4 and 6.7 entries. Still rooting for a 6.0 to get voted in....

Aso I'm still glad to see the 6.4 chugging!

Why would you want an out of date turd like a 6.0 to be entered? What you should want are the most competitive and capable trucks that Ford has to offer to be entered. Right now it's the 6.4, only because they have been out longer and there are more parts, better tuning, and more built trucks running around. The 6.7 will catch up and probably surpass with time. Entering a 7.3 or a 6.0 is just a waste of time and a spot in the competition for Ford to succeed. They are nice trucks, don't get me wrong. Tons of cool 6.0s running around. They just don't make the power that modern trucks do.

Agreed.

The technology just hasnt been there.

I would watch though, the 6.0 may make a debut into horsepower worlds. With the advancements in technology of the high pressure oil systems, we are still persevering.

Hey don't be a Debbie downer! Lol it's better than a big single 7.3!!!

I'm always rooting for a 6.8 and 6.4 but I do send in 2 ballots and I vote for a 6.0 at least once. Just because......

Agreed.

I'm sure they're coming we all know they're good motors but the lack of common rail and well the same 6.4 issue of head flow is another difficulty.

Man, thats bs! I was going to come if you did. Ive wanted to the last two years but our work.schedules havent panned out. Probably better if people just drink and get high instead of going to a truckpull. That last comment was sooo not serious.

Kinda bummed.

My point exactly.

They should focus more on what the hoodlums in peoria are doing. This actually brings good people back into the city. But whatever, their loss of profit
