Glad to be here. Thx for the Welcome.
Thx. Oh trust me I am. All the horror stories I've heard about its predecessors I'm trying to learn as much about it as possible.

Hi Dave, congradulations on your new truck it looks great. I have been debating for several months about upgrading my 06 F250 KR PSD. Were there many 11's left to coose from in Ontario? Do you intend on doing much towing with it?

I didnt find many 11's in what I wanted the Lariet with towing pkg dual alternators also my color choice made it even harder. Some dealers couldn't be bothred to look for one for me. My truck came from Nepean I think and funny enough I found a sold sign in the glove box from July. Someone must have ordered it and then backed out.
As for towing yes I haul a big skid steer or Dump trailer or 20' enclosed trailer and plow snow and salt with it in winter.

Welcome Dave!! Nice ride. You will meet tons of RAELLY good people on this site and ALL will help with most problems you may encounter with your ride. How many Ks did you have on the dodge Cummins?? I have 555,000 so far on a 03. If you're ever up the Listowel- Brussels- Wingham way give us a shout. Actually, I live in a little place called Cranbrook, but look us up anyway. We can maybe catch a beer or two. John

John I had 150'000 maybe if that. Not allot but I sure had allot of issues with it. Its all the crap that dodge puts in it. I did new trans lines new trans cooler new fuel pump rebuilt the trans new TC added, water pump ball joints u joints tran cooler thats tucked up in the engine bay hard to get at and the fittings are part of the cooler so you have to buy the $800 cooler instead of just some $20 fittings.
I need another truck and I've been looking for early fords mid 90's or some mid 90's Rams. Most of the rams have 300'000k on them in the price range im looking. The old Ram left a bad taste in my mouth and a huge massive hole in my wallet. I should have parked it on the reserve and let em have at it.
They prob wouldn't touch it and call me to say you left your truck here.

The reserve part is funny. LMAO But the rest isn't. I bought mine new in 03 had 73 Kms on it. I just done the tranny and other than regular maintainance on it, no problems. I would buy another, of course I would look at the Fords now to. I didn't buy one the first time because of the issues they were having with the 7.3. John

Not much winter this year for sure and little need for a plow. I'm ok with that but then I don't depend on the weather for my income. Hopefully you get paid whether it snows or not?
Nice pic's of the truck at work.
