Definitely not. The BS that people get fed with is unbelievable. Having been in this platform since 2003, OPEVALs, and test and evaluation of this plane its all a bunch of crap. And then some congressman who sits on his a$$ all day to say cancel the program is a clear sign of a lack of knowledge. I would be more than happy to set him straight.

I still don't know if I like the V-22. Granted its taking my job away, but after 20+ years I think someone may have made a misstake.

I've heard what the ground guys say and the crew membes say and it does shine in the back of my mind. Maybe sooner or later I just might jump on board. But I still like being the I level. Thinkin bout the C-130. They run the same powerplant and have a job for me, unlike your power by hour crap damn Rolls Royce

Afternoon.

Any of ya'll replaced the donut gaskets on the down pipes of a 7.3? I worked with a shop and did the driver (easy) side after work today. The passenger side looks very difficult! Need some advice. How the heck do you do it?

Ordered a bypass tube assembly for the tranny today too. It may or may not be a source of the high temps I'm getting but it was cheap enough to do a little parts changing.
