Well........it happened.

I got home from work, jumped in my truck, opened the moonroof, and drove the heck out of it.......and loved every minute of it!!!!

I love my truck and it's running GREAT!

NICE, too cold to open the moon roof but I drove out to a job site today and found a few instances I had to put it to the floor.

Mine runs great too and I truly do love every minute of it

Still look forward to driving my truck every day

You can't ask for more in these trucks than what you described. A similar thing happened to me with the exception of opening the moon roof. I too love my truck and it is running great!!

WHERE'S THE WOOD, KNOCK ON WOOD. I love crawling into mine all the time for a nice drive, ride, or cruise to whatever I have going.

Juuust great. Do the words, "Anything you say can and will be used against you..." sound familiar? Not saying that your truck is gonna break or anything, but I think you know what I mean.

I don't drive mine everyday but when I do, I'm smiling the whole way. Love my truck and wouldn't replace it for anything else. I think I'll drive it today!

I was driving with the roof open and manual shifting too! Radio up and cruising in celebration of great weather.

I only read this thread because it was you pstroke, generally I ignore the "blow up threads" now. I just don't care.

I've been doing this for the last 11 years in my truck.

Glad you like your truck, John.

Winning! I think that describes the experience both Ford and I have had with the new 6.7. Mine started today as well. I tried to chase a few tornadoes in our area and had faith enough in my truck to outrun the sucker if I got too close. Only thing was I never saw more than clouds....

I too love my truck. Was at home in GA over the weekend with truck in VA. Got back Tuesday morning and was so happy to be able to drive my truck again.
