You really have to admire Ford for building a 7.3L pushrod gas V8 almost from scratch in the middle of a huge EV push.
ill bet they just realized that they could build those a heck of a lot cheaper and easier for emissions than all the diesel garbage these days, not to mention brand recognition that comes with the 7.3 displacement. diesel was cool before the EPA caught onto all the dildos rollin coal on their way to get groceries.

Guess who gets to be the first one to dig into the new dual clutch transmission in the new Corvette?

They really close off the under side for drag reduction.

The main valve body, seals and gaskets and 1 time use bolts come out to $4400 in parts alone. I didn't even look to see what the general will pay me to do it. Probably something dumb like 1.4 hours.

None of that looks like fun. Probably 60 fasteners there just in removing the underbody panels

I figured the lord of the wrench would be on that one.

No clue when I'll even have the parts. Did the diagnosis on it today.

His bìtch ass had ample opportunity to work on it as it's been at the shop since 8am Monday morning.
The polesmoker service manager danced around the repair order laying on the counter while spoon feeding his baby boy and dreaming of felching Pabst blue ribbon from lord of the wrenches asshòle and waited until I was caught up to give it to me.
Whatever. I'll do the job. And unlike those fùckwads reinstall all the bolts.
I guarantee I'll get 75% of the way into the job and the old Lord will come walking over, because he's a nosey piece of shìt, and ask what I'm doing. He will then immediately turn into a subject matter expert and I will tell him to go fornicate with himself and a pair of jagged vice grips.
Happens all the time.
