Howdy arizona. How is everybody. Never did get the bed completely off. I have to burn off two bolts because they are stripped to the point I can't get it. I dropped both tanks and got the gooseneck hitch out.
I also went and looked at the 97 Expedition today and was looking to see if it was rack and pinion well I found something else out that I really didn't want to. On the left side thier is a bolt snapped right off for an anti sway bar. Would be why we thought it needs an aligment. So The Expedition is down to I fix that which looks fun.
Lucky the 2002 F250 is still running strong.
The 1986 F150 is being on retirment for a few weeks till we have to haul again.
We also got the walls up on our house yesterday and half of the trusses for the house. Plus we got a footer dug for where we are putting another room.

Right on, thanks anyways. I was just asking because I read that the 7.3's get better fuel mileage than the newer 6.0s and 6.4s and wanted someones opinion on that.

6 bucks a gallon!!! man, that must cost an arm and a leg to fill that up! The diesel near my house is 3.98 a gallon.

The guys in the 6.0L forum will have a better idea on the milage...........

it cost alot to fill it plus I want to add a transfer tank for longer pulls..........with the trailer

I didn't buy it to save money thats for sure, even oil changes cost more.......
