I just got a 2015 f350 6.7 and its a comfortable ride and quiet. I still prefer driving my 06 6.0 around town tho more fun to drive and sounds better. Love the whistle

Filled it up and drove it, she's really loving the cold weather. Especially with the Mishimoto thermostat

Filled it up...added some white power service. Its about 20-25* degrees here but my trucks running down to 184* on the highway now. Seems kinda low, its not that cold..i just replaced my thermostat last winter too, with motorcraft. At least my oil temps aren't going much over 195 though, even when coolant gets back to 188

I was also playing with my gopro and took a cold start video...sat for 24 hours and started it in 20* weather
.....and it decided to only record audio. so, forget that

Well I guess that solves that...


I don't have the money to do my suspension right now so I'm probably just going to bet a set of stock size General Grabbers or something to get me through the winter.


Then, when money is available, get a new set of rims and tires to go with a 4 inch or 6 inch lift sometime next spring or summer.

Drove it to school...driving it to work and then school tomorrow. I realized I've had 4 different jobs this year, some at the same times. I was an electrician and snow plowed occasionally, then a lineman in training (still in that process), then construction, now im back to electrician tomorrow. Wallets still empty though, lol

Hooked one of the connectors back up on the 4x4 shift motor. Still making that freaking noise.
