Something like this Glenn?








And no it's not rain or fog it's all dirt lol..

 

That's right, or worse! We live right near the mountains and some times you can't even see them!

 

That's how it was here yesterday 40+ mom winds you couldn't even see the valley , or if you wer in the valley you couldn't see the mountains.

 

OT - is it me, or does the mountain in the foreground of the last pic look an awful lot like a pyramid?.....

 

Nice find Byron! Nothing wrong by moving up and on. At leas you still have the reliable 7.3! They are pretty tough trucks. Two of my brothers have the NBS with the 7.3, and lets just say they aren't real high on maintenance, other than oil changes. Their theory is "it still moves, so it must be all right." It drives me nuts.

 

Yeah when we pulled over for fuel yesterday the wind was blowing like a hurricane for us. It was crazy!

 

Thanks Tom! Yes I am way too OCD for that mentality… LOL

 

Hey buddy I'm glad you got what you wanted. Maybe your daughter's first truck can be an obs powerstroke. That would be pretty sweet!

 

Thanks Jarrett. I would be fine with that. By then the 6.7 will be the old trucks.

 

You really messed up. Big mistake getting rid of the OBS! Just kidding I like the super dutys as well! My favorite will always be the OBS, but the super dutys are pretty nice.

I'm guessing it's not manual though right? Wasn't your most recent one manual 4x4? I'd be pretty sad going from a zf5 4x4 to auto! Not to say the truck isn't nice because I like it! I just am partial to manual transmissions!

 

manual to auto


I remember doing that back in 2009 when I got me a new Taco and no stick option with the V6.


Been driving stick since before 86 and I still have to put my left foot near the seat so I wont hit the phantom clutch by mistake. Did that a few times and hit the brake pedal instead. My boss chewed me out for locking the brakes in the parking lot with the delivery truck and I said the clutch was missing. He said it was an automatic while looking at me funny, I said I know that but my foot don't know it yet.


I am getting better but once in a while it still happens.

 

ZF-6 fellers...I definitely didn't make a mistake getting rid of Whitey. I made a profit, got a nicer truck, and still have a 7.3...not sure how that's losing in any way. Sure the OBS will always be my first love, but this SD fits my needs much more.

 

no mention of a ZF6 in your signature or this thread that I saw

 

You are right. Fixed that. I also put photos up in the other thread though...funny people automatically assume it's an auto. You aren't the first.

 

Haha yeah. I guess I usually make it more of a point to say my vehicles are manual because they aren't as common and I didn't see it mentioned on the thread or in the sig. I'm not sure the auto to manual ratio of superduties, but I'd assume there are more autos.

A ZF6 4x4 is a pretty nice setup! I'm giving you a hard time for getting rid of the other truck as well, I like your new one. Your new truck seems quite nice, probably better than what your old truck was. As I said, I like the OBS styling more, but the super duty styling is still one of my favorite looking trucks on the road.
