Any suggestions would be appreicated.
Thanks,
Rick
What motor? That does sound kind of low. I've hauled much more weight than that with a 250 before.

Wake me up... wake me up!
Going to test drive an '09 extended cab and a crew cab on Saturday with the wife. I'll update after the test...
Why on earth do you want someone to wake you up? Sounds like you've got it pretty good.

Quite a difference in those 2. Keep us updated on how it's working for you.
F350-6 Thanks for the welcome. And, more importantly, THANK YOU for your service. I was in the Navy from '61-'68. Was going to make it a career but Vietnam interferred with those plans.........
Navy huh? Well, I guess you're still welcome here
I got out 20 years after you did, so I guess I still have a long way to go before I can make any retirement plans. Right now I just need to get the kid out of college.
Hello All. On here because Im looking to purchase a truck to lug my wife's horses around to shows. Im sure Ill have some common questions, but am definently looking to forward to owning a real FORD truck.
FinallyaFORD, welcome to FTE! We will give you some great advice on a good tow rig, just ask!

Hello Everyone. . . I recently purchased a 2004 F250 5.4L supercab XLT. I work in construction and needed a bigger truck to haul material and a couple of machines around. I would like to lift my f250 2wd and add some more mods.
Hi,guys been hangin around for years in the 70's section but got a ? for you super duty boys! got a rear end out of a 99 f250 was wondering if anyone could tell me if it's a stearling or a dana! #'s are as follows s4092 3L73 1058fo2 now these are all the #'s my brother gave me the rear ends not in my possession yet it's all disc brake and was thinking about putting it in my 78 Supercab ! Thanks for any input
Hey everyone just found the site this morning. wow i wish i knew you guys where here for advice a month ago lol. looking forward to chatting and posting pics soon
Hello all, just purchased a new '08 Super Duty Lariat 4X4 w/6.4 Powerstroke Diesel. My first diesel truck, have had it for a little over a week, put 600 miles on it and absolutely love it!
i'm pretty new to this site, my dad got me hooked on it...i got a 1993 7.3 diesel, with a 5spd manual, 4x4, with a banks sidewinder kit, and a straight pipe exhaust...i was thinking of installing a programmer soon...any suggestions of what type of programmer or weather to do it or not would be appreciated
Hey everyone, been lurking for the last couple of weeks since I bought my F250, wanted to say that I like the site very much, and that there are some cool folks here.
I'm sure that I'll spend the most technical time at the old body style forums, but I've found a lot of information here that has been very useful! Thanks!
My beast is a '97 F250 HD with 202,800 miles on her 5.8L / E40D. I'm retiring her from work, and she should live a leisurely life from here on out.
I've had many Fords in my 27 years of driving, and I've never had one strand me yet. Great machines if you take care of them.
(I have been hooked on the F250 HD's ever since my dad bought a new beautiful black 1985 F250 with the heavy suspension, and a carbureted 460 / 4spd. As a kid, I showed many of my peers just how slow daddy's BMW really was... What a ride.)

You really should ask questions like this in a new thread here in the super duty forum, not the new member thread. But since you asked, that's a Sterling 10.5 rear end with a 3.73 limited slip.

Ask the guys down in the 7.3 diesel section. They'll steer you right on the proper upgrades.

Howdy Y'all. I now have two super duty's. One 1968 F750 Structural Fire Engine and one 1985 F350 Brush Truck. (and a little Ranger) Love'em all though nothing says get the hell out of the way like a blast from the 750's air horn. I've posted piccies if anybody wants to see them. I'll post more when I get the chance. I'm adding a class A foam system to Junebug, (F750) so she'll be in service for a few more years. So far, so good.
Howdy! I am new to the board. I have stepped over the fence into a whole different pasture. This is the first truck I have owned larger than the F150, or Chevy 1500. And the first diesel too!
Brand new 2008 F250 SuperDuty XLT super cab 6.4 Diesel 2x4.
I don't know what I got myself into, but I like it so far
Hey y'all. I've been lurking around for a bit and finally joined. Recently bought a 2003 F250 SC 6.0 PSD 4x4 and lovin' it so far. Will get some pics up soon!
Hey all, Hailing form Springfield, MO here. I've been lurking on the boards for about a year.. Had a 1992 Extended Cab 4x4 351 5-speed that I used as a tow rig for my jeep for a while... Recently traded it in on a 2003 4x4 SD Crew Lariat Powerstroke... It is an auto, but I'm learning to live with it. Can't believe I've been missing out on all that diesel power these years... My 92 made it all the way out to Moab, UT and back pulling my Jeep on a 16ft flatbed, it did great, but 5 mph up to the Eisenhower Tunnel west of Denver on hwy 70 took forever.. but she pulled it, however it was hammer down to the floor all the way from Kansas City to Moab.
Can't wait to try those mountains out with the 7.3; I did pull my camper with it 29ft bumper pull.. last weekend, it weighs 7880lbs and it pull it like it was small peanuts. My jeep and trailer weigh less than that, so I'm thinking I'll make much better time this year.
Look forward to being on the forums more and pickin' everyone brains. Thanks for the wealth of info on here...
