    That's what I've been learning. I told him from my limited knowledge that most any of them are good as long as you arent trying to make a ton of power over what cat rated was possible.

    And hes already staying well away from emissions engines so we are ok there in regards to the dpf and all that.

    We have a total of (5) 2ws they’ve all been pretty solid best I know.
    I’m not saying they’re the best just been good for us so far.

    Mine is a 2ws, and I don't know if that is good, bad or indifferent. All I know is I have no complaints.

    I'm the same way with my loyalties, fierce as a mountain lion. Once you've earned it, I'll crawl through hell to help you. But once it's gone, you're likely not going to ever see it again.

    5ek,6ts are ok. Just don't try and go over 600 HP if you want to crank it up. The blocks are weak along the oil rail. 1lw,5ds,1mm,2ws are the strong blocks. Mbn,6nz, or all acerts are the sculptured blocks, have a history of the block cracking with age the 5ek and 6ts have single t-stat housings. You can up grade to the dual t-stats for better flow and circulation. Same for the fuel system. Be careful with fuel pressure on those two, they don't run as high of pressure as later models.

    He cheats. Then she cheats. Then he cheats. Then she cheats. They’re doing a dance called the tango.

    She tells you that it’s over to keep you around. Your frustration comes because 1.) you like this girl 2.) that voice in your head, Ultimate Brett, is telling you that she is wasting your time.

    Ultimate Brett told you correct, but you’re not listening.

    If you arranged a date for a girl at a specific time, and she showed up 3 hours late, would you be mad? So you make another date at a specific time and you wait around 2 hours for her to show and then she texts you that something came up and makes a rain check. The next date, she’s an hour late, but you have a great time. The next date, 30 minute wait and a rain check. The next date, 2 hours late.

    See a pattern? If someone doesn’t value your time, they don’t put a high value on you. But that’s your fault. You accepted the lower value by agreeing that your time isn’t important. Now, I’m not saying that you should be this staunch, immovable, person... but you sure as hell do not sit around waiting for someone to make their mind up. You go on doing your thing. Be out, be social, meet other girls. Do not compare the girls to her as they are their own person.

    “So Six, you’re saying that I should give up on her?”

    I am saying that you don’t wait around for her. She’ll call you when she needs to vent or a shoulder to cry on, or for someone to listen to her day. And she will tell you how great you are and how much she really likes you and how much she wishes that her boyfriend was like you....

    ...and you will think that if you wait around just a little longer...

    SNAP OUT OF IT!

    Take this girl out of the equation. Do you see what YOU are doing wrong? If someone does not value your time, they do not value you.
    @singlescrewshaker told you correct, if you’re just looking for a lay, have her come over, bang her and get gone. Personally, as soon as she said “boyfriend”, I would have walked, but you young guys and the all important ‘nut’...

    And you accepted sloppy seconds. If you did get into a relationship, it would go the exact same way as with the previous.
