No one has done 5, soon to be 6.

I am in a league all on my own :....

Credit where credit due, E Series and AU were a solid car.
Personally i am not a fan of the look of AU (except T3), but thats just me.

But the Barge ****....... Hmmmmmm.........

What engine mods have you done, if any? I can't believe that the stock engine is causing the auto trans to blow.

I don't know man. You've got a dud on your hands. There's T's out there running 10s and 11s with slightly modded Ford 4 speed autos so they can't be all that bad. I'm surprised you haven't taken this issue to Ford directly yet...

You'll possibly find the auto's that are holding together at Wsid etc, maybe modified??? Have they dane anything different to the auto? Or are they just putting it back together with bassically the same parts???? Any oil cooler etc??
Like realy between BTR and Ford, if they are not part of the solution? Maybe they are part of the problem...It can't always be the nut behind the wheel!!!!
