Turns out it wasn't gelled. The fuel pump went out. It isn't keeping up with the engine on hills.
New 1 will be here tomorrow.
I do have a p0299 code now though.

308,000 thats awesome
Mine has appx 125,000 on factory Stud's plus she has alot of added HP (for years now) I also pull a 5th-Wheel & they said it couldn't be done on a 6.0

I hope the 6.7 is as good for you, thanks for sharing

I registered it with the wonderful NYS DMV. Sales tax is a killer when you pay it in one lump sum. LOL

'08 upgrade mirrors are on their way from SDS.

Pioneer stereo on its way from Amazon.

Next will be the F650 dash with switches for my FD lights and some other things.

The stereo by the way has 2 camera inputs. I was thinking one in the area of the rear license plate (which is where 99% of them seem to go) but maybe the 2nd could go up at the third brake light? That way I could keep an eye on the bed? Anyone used the 2nd camera input and come up with anything creative?

Had some weird vibration, shuddering on take off from a light when turning. Seemed most popronounced turning right. Few times, steering was stuck of spcentre and would self return, was binding until I cranked when over centre the other way. Jacked up front end yesterday and checked ball joints be darned if both uppers are in bad shape. Doesn't look like lowers are to bad. Made an appointment for new ball joints, hub seal kits and alignment. I am at 189,000 Km.

Ordered billet door handles to replace the drivers side handle I ripped off yesterday. Treated the weatherstripping with silicone.

Test that mechman alt out, see what it can do in the heat or on a very long run. I still have my shroud, your mileage may vary as they say.
