I love this truck though!
I didn't realize there was a Steam Engine Option

Well the battle with the birds that have been trying to nest in my engine bay continues.

I hate birds.

On another note, I got home right after 3 PM yesterday and got to fire her up to pick the kids up from school. Windows and moonroof open, 83* outside and sunny........oooooooohhhhh yeah!!

Thanks brother!

I love this truck. Every time I drive it, I love it more and the kids do too.

It's that time of the year when they're getting ready to get out of school for the Summer and they've got finals and SOL testing. Going to do the same thing this afternoon and drop by Sonic to get them a shake.

Yep the kids sure love the super duty!
I still love driving this truck every day.

Had the pleasure of hauling another load of birch this week!

PS, thanks for changing your avi, that eye thing creeps me out!

I agree, kids love my truck too. I have a 15 year old son and a 13 year old daughter and ALL of their friends love to ride. They even ask to just take them for a ride around in it, and that's the girls!

My boys have to go to school early on Thursdays for choir. The first Thursday that I had my truck it was pretty neat. I dropped them off and about 15 kids came running out of the building to check out the new truck! It was really neat. Even this morning dropping them off I still got a couple of thumbs up and a "cool truck!" comment.

yeah...that never gets old!

Yeah it's pretty cool for sure. I've taken the police car to the school before and not gotten as many ooohs and aaaahs as with the truck. And 8 and 10 year old kids LOVE the police car.

Oh and Darren....you're welcome. Sorry for your emotional scarring.

I just paid the price.....
I had NADP (North American Diesel Performance) do them as they have done pretty much everything to my truck and always treated me very well.

I have gone out of my way to FORGET the cost of everything I have done (and paid cash for most of it so there is no paper trail if you know what I mean) but I believe I paid around $1,200.00 installed??????

Thanks
