Bracket for my coolant filter and bypass oil filter broke again so I had to take them off and reroute the coolant hose. I will have to go shopping for a bigger chunk of angle iron.

Bought a 2006 F250 6.0 and drove 156 miles to Richmond VA and back to Chesapeake to shake her down. Ran great! Wife is coming around to the Diesel. She claims it drives better then a Caddi with much better styling!

Those are the finest wheels available for a Super Duty if I don't say so myself. Lol!

It's not to bad as long as you dont mind the swarms of mosqitoes. Head back to Colorado next month though.

On another topic I have read alot about the updated parts such as stand pipes dummy plugs and turbo drain tube. With my truck being a 2007 Would it already have the updated parts or are these things I should do when i pull the injectors and turbo to clean them before my trip.
