At this point I'd be perfectly okay with Valve putting their big boy pants on and going toe to toe with MS. Just tired of MS's bullshit at this point. Xbox is crumbling, Windows is a shitheap of bloat and ads to the point where I hardly game on my PC due to the incessant issues. My Steamdeck and PS5 get much more attention lately.

iirc the big flaw was placing the phasers on the last circuit to get oil pressure. I dunno if thats still an issue. At this point most those trucks have rotted away. Actually thinking about it, its a bad time to be a modern pushrod fanboy. It seems like suppliers for lifters are really slacking. Hemis, current gen 5.3, 7.3 godzilla all have lifter/cam issues. The godzilla 7.3 is a pretty impressive engine but I still think I'd go for the 6.7 if getting a full size. I have no idea about current gen dirtymax reliability.

Gotta keep a cap and rotor in the glovebox with a T15... those things will leave you walking lol. I did a lot of them at my old work. I used to be pretty brand loyal, but just don't care anymore. Gonna pick the thing that I like most. Seen lots of those older modular F-150s last until the damn thing rots away and then some. Obviously the 5.4 3 valve had its issues. My dad has a chevy 5.3 with DOD... spent a loooot of money on deleting it and tuning after a lifter started having issues. Just not worth it to me, and why I am leaning towards the 3.5 EB (likely powerboost) because newer 5.0s have cylinder deactivation. Still an issue on current gen 5.3s, and general lifter failures. And yeah, Ford still can't figure out phasers. I think the latest revisions are okay though.

EK Waterblocks: Liquidity shortage and mismanagement
vetali replied to FlyingPotato_is_taken's topic in Tech News
Sooo uhh, does Bitspower make good blocks? Lol... EK and Bitspower the only name brands that make waterblocks for my GPU. Hear nothing about EK horror stories since this news has surfaced, and I can't really support them if they aren't paying employees + media outlets while they are spending tons of money on a computex booth this year. -
My dad is a chevy guy. He always ranted about the distributor placement on them. "Only thing that Ford got right was the distributor in the front" I too have leaned towards chevy growing up, but my next rig might be a new F-150. Pretty bad when a truck can get better gas mileage than my current rig, and without using cylinder deactivation.
