Hey guys, just did my last oil change, selling the old gal, it has been a great truck for me. I would not have gotten such trouble free mileage without the generous folks on here, I have learned so much and benefitted greatly from this exchange of information. I am not a wrencher like so many on here, but do the basics well, changing oil/filters etc myself, and knowing when to have my buddy who owns a garage do the rest. So thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I will still visit here to catch up, a little dose of Tex, Cheezit, M-chan, Rusty Axelrod, Bismic or Benny always makes my day. And Maxium 4 x 4 really helped when I was in a bind for a while some years back. Thanks again.

Just one example came to mind again when I bought my oil filter. I read on here long ago to double check what is in the box with the filters, and the one on the shelf at O'Reillys had a knockoff in a Fram box. No patent numbers in one box, good to go in the other. And a friend who just bought a 2007 6.0 was doing his fuel filters for the first time, asked for some advice, came over with crappy Wix knockoffs, so I could help him based on advice on here.

Long winded, but this place is just great, take care all.

If anyone has any interest in a well maintained 2003 with 130,000 miles, PM me. I hope to sell before I move permanently up to northern Arizona in a few months.

Vaya con dios, amigos!!

 

why sell it, now if moving to the mountains you will need even more! Where in the mountains you going to?

 

Hank, moving to Alpine, building a place up there. We built custom homes on the side, I like to take some of the profit for ME, so I am "gifting" myself a truck for when I sell this last house we are in now.

I am ready for a new ride, this one is 10 years old and been rode hard and put away wet as they say. A 4 x 4 F150 twin turbo gasser up there makes more sense to me.

 

what part of northern az are you moving to?

Put it in the Marketplace - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
That way someone here will have a chance at a nice truck.

Glad the trucks doin well. It's been a pleasure Dano! Hope the changes are all for the good. Pop back in from time to time- you'll still be welcome even without the 6.0.

 

No he won't...you need to stop encouraging this type of behavior Rusty!

 

And what about those who only WRENCH on 6.0s but don't necessarily own one?

 

I had to re-evaluate my position on that one Mike, . Nobody's right ALL the time.

 

I wish you well Dan! Please do drop in on us from time-to-time!

 

Thanks guys, test drove the ecoboost F150 today, quite a nice truck all around. Didn't have much if any turbo lag, but no need to compare the two. I have had a good run with the 6.0.

 

My Aunt and Uncle lived in Alpine, AZ. Beautiful country, pine trees, Elk, snow in the winter I 'm jealous. Enjoy Dan

 

Well, thanks again, my 6.0 is officially on the market, if anyone is interested. I did list it on FTE for sale, had trouble posting pics of it...but can PM pics maybe?

It is a little weird after 20+ years of Ford diesel driving to go to the F150 ecoboost dark side, but off I go. You guys are the best, someone will end up with a great truck if they buy mine, and I will definitely point them to this site to keep it rolling.

Vaya con dios, muchachos...

 

You have to do what you have to do. If I didn't need a diesel, I'd be doing the same thing you'r doing. Ecoboost don't do much good with a 31' 5er in the Sierras or any where else for that matter. Luckily I've had one of the many good ones but then again I am **** on maintenance. Once again good luck and hope to see you on the boards. You still have good experience to pass on.
