Yep, the new Superduty. I'm in the market for something new, I was leaning towards a leftover 2015 or a new 2016 until the announcement for the 2017 came out and BOOM I was sold.

As for cost, I should have a nice down payment and my 2006 as trade in to get a monthly payment to $300-400 depending on if I go with an XLT or a Lariat.

I'll admit I am totally conflicted as I love my 2006 6.0, but being a supercab and short bed I feel it's limitations to me versus my old 2005 F250 supercab longbed or my original 99 F350 crewcab longbed.

I have a year to figure stuff out though

Get then while there cheap.

If they push the $15.00 min wage it will make them cost more and you won't see anything your self other than
a loss in wages.

Drove it around all day today. No codes re-appeared, speedo is working and then engine is happy. The only point of interest is that the blue tooth obd-ii adapter seems to be cutting in and out and will not link back up to my tablet running Torque Pro. Might have to order a new adapter.

tears up the street nicely now... can even get her to wiggle her *** on the dry pavement too... but coming to a stop and sitting at a light she still feels like somethings not 100% right in the fuel delivery department... also my coolant temp went from a maxe seeing of 175* now to 185*.. but still not getting over that unless i stop and have the engine off for a bit.. it will quickly drop back to 185* once i get going... for a t-stat thats not supposed to open till 192* im kinda wondering if theres not another injector or 2 not putting out.. but atleast shes not feeling like she is stuggling to keep going like she was...

downside is now that the airs working out of the oil rail im starting to miss those loud crank ups she was giving me right after... also heard a 6.4 crank over at TSC today too.. when its starter was going it sounded alot like my 6.0's new starter...

 

Thanks for that
I am going out in a few minutes to take some measurements & see if I feel the coverage is enough considering my larger Tires (don't want them to look too small behind the Tire) & get em ordered today...

 

Today two years ago I brought The Monster home!

He had 123,870, a clogged oil cooler, and a leaking EGR cooler when I picked him up.


Now at 195,700, he's been bulletproofed and trouble free for 72K miles.

I love my 6.0!

 

To give you some kind of reference, from the leaf spring out to the edge of the splashgaurd is 23.125" . I have stock 17" wheels/tires.

 

I added a chrome shower drain







today. Looks good. Took a couple of hours to decide what to do in a pinch.

I had a hole in the bed I needed to plug before I take off from Oregon to Arizona for the winter. That should take care of the monsoon downfalls.

I had to take my drop down Gooseneck Ball off when I added the 5th wheel hitch.

 

And yesterday I added my Double Hitch for the MC Trailer and Mobility Scooter carrier. I had to modify a Reese Double hitch because I needed the carrier in the primary hitch at receiver height and they don't make it heavy enough to tow with the stock secondary hitch which I place on the bottom. That puppy is not gonna come apart with the new gussets.









I do have to drop the ball when I load the scooter, but I can have the carrier down with the MC trailer attached as long as I back the bike up about 1 inch for tight turns when I load it. I just put a block in front of it. I'll post pictures before I go with the bike loaded and the scooter in the rack.

 

Gave her a bath... Thinking of moving on from the beast

 

I sent them a question on one of the products they have on the site... no response at all. Owners name is Nate I'm pretty sure...

hey Nate... I won't be buying anything or recommending you to my buds. Also think these are the sellers of the KC TURBOS, get no response from them either.

 

Drove mine to work after cleaning the HFCM (described w/pic's in Post 10664 & 10665)
& I know it may seem weird but I swear the Injectors seem quieter...Possible

Oh, that reminds me I need to top off the Coolant & Trans Fluid again after I go to the dump today (changed those Filter's the other day too) my drive to work is 60 miles round trip so she should've sucked em down

 

re-greased her ankles last night.. should be happy for a bit..

 

Did the forever long coolant flush.....

first drain, the coolant looked like ford gold in the reservoir, but this is what came out.


after some flushing with the hose I put in the RESTORE and this is what came out after


did a few more just water flushes before VC9. Right before doing the VC9


After VC9


I then switched over to distilled water and did about 6 more flushes to get this result before introducing the Rotella ELC


this took forever doing all the warm up cycles. Glad it is done. Now to drive it for a week and then do my oil cooler and fix the HPO hot start leak.

 

Noticed this......
Is this "normal" or is my Steering Box going to crap
Note: I am prying up on it while filming
