The last truck I got accused of inspiring it's owner to build became more of a scapegoat for blame. The whole freakin thread title was a testament to that.
Here's what happens when I "inspire" people.
#1. You decide to run a 4R70w, because it was my stated intention to do the same. You immediately contact a shop, and pay that guy big money to rebuild it. Only after having done that, you "discover" (because Mike looked at your posted pics) that there are two different transmissions, to fit two different engines (4.6 and SBF pattern). Mike is telling you that your's look wrong.
Do you blame yourself for not researching? Nope, You'll blame Mike for not telling you.
#2. You realize that the electrically controlled transmission will need an external method to control it's 4th gear engagement, and TC lockup. You research, and find out that there is a company that sells a black box for 500.00 that'll do that. You buy it.
Mike posts that he has found a manual solution to doing the same that only costs 200.00. You blame Mike for not telling you.
#3. You buy a cheap assed aluminum flex fan, ( actually, you've had it hangin' on a nail in your garage for the last 20 years) and install it (You know the kind that sposed to flatten out with RPM, and "save gas", or "increase HP" depending on your need?) After getting it done, you take it out for a test drive,.....and the flex fan proposes to the radiator.
They get married.
Mike posts a pic to illustrate that not only do flex fans flatten with RPM, they actually "flex forward" as the blades pull more air. Since your clearance was super close to your radiator, that forward flex has now causes the fan to eat up your radiator.
Mike posts this pic: (He points out that these rotors normally droop when the blades aren't spinning)
You, didn't consider that. But you blame Mike for not telling you just that same.
The moral to today's story......DONT BLAME ME! I DO ENOUGH STUPID SHT FOR ME!!!
