Losing a wallet is a major pain. You're fortunate to find it so quickly.

Glad to hear the snow is coming. Here's hoping it makes its way south this year.

Picked up a load of firewood on Saturday. I'm super impressed with how well the v10 hauled that load. Almost like the wood wasn't there.

Yes, losing a wallet is a pain! Even finding it is a pain when it has spent time in a mud puddle and been run over by a vehicle!

I don't know if the snow will make it down too you, but best of luck!

Don't worry Jason, they are just overcompensating for other areas. LOL

The truth of it is, if my I had seen the same truck at the same price with the 5.4, I would have taken it. The v10 is mostly overkill for the amount of hauling I do, but the deal was too good to pass up, and I don't put on a lot of miles.

That being said, I am most definitely compensating...it's embarassing being 6'6" 240lbs sometimes

Uhuh, I should probably point out that your 2valve V10 isn't all that much different in power to my 3valve 5.4L with a tuner

Other then the fact that I probably get better mileage, which matters to me because I put 25-30k on every year

Yeah, that would probably help it a little. We could also get into transmissions though If you have the 4speed auto, then my 5speed auto is a big advantage.

Right now, I am not even using my tuner anyway, the throttle is too sensitive for winter use!
