I'll go the mid engine route, and stick the 7.3 in the bed. I hear a mid engine setup is the best for handling. Of course, if I do that I will lose the use of the bed. Maybe I can stretch the bed, and put dual rear wheels on it. Make it look like a mini F350 dually.

That Lil Pete is way too expensive for me Joe. Besides, I don't have a diesel powered F250/350. That is more up your alley than mine.

Yeah, I am loving the weather now. Hope it stays this way for a month!

Outside all day working around the ranch. Glad the weather was nice for it. Since Dad got layed off he's been a fiend about working around the house. It's killing me...

Happy Sunday Nor Cal FTE. Hope everyone has a blessed day.

No plans today except to get two "accordion" doors installed to make the AC more efficient in the living room. Going to block off the kitchen/dining room from the living room with one, and the hallway with the other. Haven't used the AC in about a week, but I know it is still summer, so you never know when the heat will come back. Want to be prepared for it.

I have a swamp cooler, but the hotter it gets, the less effective the swamp cooler is. However, I have been using that instead of the AC because it has not been that hot lately, so I save on my electric bill

Even when it's 105* outside my house never gets over 80* with my swamp cooler. I have spring water though, so it's probably quite a bit colder than city water.
