I moving from the V-10 forum because I'll be closing the deal on a 350 6.0 in a couple of days if everything goes according to plan. I've been lurking here for about 2-3 weeks gleaning all the info i could to make a good decision on the truck. I think it paid off....I got a carfax, oasis report and had the vehicle inspected/surveyed at a ford dealership. It has high miles but from all the feedback I'm getting as long as it was properly matained miles shouldn't be an issue. Hope to finalize the deal by weeks end and towing my boat to the marina!

Well I guess I can change my sig, it's offical now I signed the agreement papers and I'll pick it up tommorrow. I went back to the dealer and talked to the service tech who did the inspection and he was impressed with the power it made when he took it out for a test drive. He thought it was chipped but he checked and it was stock. So after a lenghty conversation with the tech I went to the car lot and signed the papers. Now all I have to do is sell my V-10 250 and call it a day.

Holy crap!!! Is hell freezing over? I thought v-10 owners seldom ever switched to the dark side and if they did they certainly wouldn't go to the spawn of Satan's own diesel factory, the 6.uh oh.

What is the world coming to.
