205,000 on mine's "clock", and except for a total loss, there's nothing that can't be fixed on mine.

I have it "for the duration".

My wife can bury me in mine, and I might just request that!

I have absolutely no desire for another truck.

At all.

Until Ford builds another engine as reliable as the 7.3 i'll keep mine. Everything since it has been plagued with issues-the 7.3 has a few quirks mind you but nothing that can't be fixed with a little knowledge.
I Figure in a few years i'll get a used 08 and transplant my 7.3 into it! I Still prefer the older style front to the new one any day but some of the chassis improvements done in the later years would be nice to have. Just don't want the engine headaches that go with them!

I am right there with you on that one Pop. I'll probably have to be buried in mine as well. My wife' won't really be able to sell my truck to anyone else because they'll never figure out how to start it.

We DO share that "little secret", don't we, Greg?
