Happy birthday Alex!
I don't like the 6.4 grill, I can't stand the parking light above the headlight look on it. For some reason drives me nuts. I like the newer grill better. However, I'll never own either one, so who cares, right??
Todd, how many rooms are you demo-ing?

Happy Birthday Alex! I am only about 6-7 months older than you. LOL
Those 6.7s are nice trucks, but I'm not impressed with the engine. Maybe I'm not impressed because of what I'm used to driving... Not sure, but I would love to have that nice truck and have it run as hard and be as reliable as my OBS. haha
EDIT: I should probably say I want that nice truck and have it run as hard and reliable as my OBS USED to run. LMFAO

It was great! Other than the working part of the day, but i got a steak dinner smothered in onions/mushrooms/cheese. Mashed taters with bacon/chives/cheese. Sadad. Home grown green beans. Garlic Bread (kinda random but i love garlic bread). and CHEESECAKE!
Oh and I got $100
And the truck is AWESOME! I got to drive it and I think the reason i liked it so much was just cuz its new and never been in a vehicle with so many gizmos... but overall i wasnt too impressed with the pickup/power levels.
That being said we didnt hook up and pull anything, but I expected better power from the factory stock considering they took the 6.7 and broke the land speed record (granted that had compression alterations, injectors, turbo) lots of stuff... STILL. For 65k you should get RIDICULOUS power. lol
Thanks again yall. now for the weekend! after some more work..

And what sucks is next week starts my schedule from down below...
Mon-wed-fri is class 8-3.
and work tues/thurs for 10 hrs.
Worst part about class is its an hour and 20 commute... so my days will start at the 430 or so. lol
BUT once i get my cars exhaust on and all tuned up for the long commutes my truck will be getting mods finally on my weekends off.
I finally decided for all the CCLB F350 out there that I could find... they wanted too much $$. Too much bs with private sellers too.
So Gretchen is getting E-fuel, injectors, intercooled, and a turbo sometime here in 2013! I have the intercooler/spyder already on my shelf. I need to order some pipes from Chris or get some SD pipes and clamps/boots from clay.
Anyway.. big plans.. will take a while since fri night/sat night are my nights off.
So I havent started my build thread cuz itd be a BS fest like SOME people I know... lol

Happy Belated Birthday Alex
It sure sounds like you going to be a busy boy with school / work and trying to get some stuff done on the psd. I am looking forward for you to get that intercooler in, I'm about the same as you with parts I've collected just need some motivation and cooperation with weather.
Something I wanted comment on with the newer trucks is, I haven't heard any one mention that some of the newer trucks need the body lifted to do some work on them, so that turned me off giving the newer ones any thought at all like I could afford one

Thanks Rich! I sure will be!
I finally got a heater for the garage... and if i remove the antennas and deflate the tires to 10PSI and have my 300# friend in the bed we can get my truck to fit in the garage! So for the winter im hoping to have it there.
And yes I believe 6.4s and 6.7s you have to remove the cab for quite a few different tasks. NOT COOL IMHO... lol

That's one way of looking at it. Just think what you could do to your truck with just half that much money. And you still wouldn't have to figure out what to do with that stupid ugly grill they put on those new trucks.
