Time for a change
I have not been in this forum area in a while, but wanted to say thanks to the group for the information that is contained in these threads. I got the wife a 2005 6.0 excursion 2 years ago and have really fell in love with it. So after 11 years of driving my faithful 1996 7.3 powerstroke, yesterday I bought a 2006 F350 6.0 . It still has not set in just yet (feels like I'm driving a rental). Anyway, I guess this is part of my 12 step program for letting my old truck go is to admit I cheated on it a got a new one in a public forum

I am selling it and all the spare parts that I have collected for it (LOTS), the truck is listed in the classified section of this site and in the Dallas Fort Worth craigslist. The parts I still have to get a complete list together and then post them.

Which you were closer. I'd buy your truck in a heartbeat.
I love my 6.0l but my grandpa put it through the ringer before I got it and it's not happy... Im sure you'll be in love soon. First time you get to pull someone out with those big nasty tow hooks

Will we see an advanced screening of the list? I live about 30 minutes north of Ft Worth and can put an extra set of eyeballs on any parts someone here is interested it.

Sorry for the delay, I finally got a list together of all the parts still sitting around in my garage, after giving close friends and family first dibs on anything they wanted. If anyone is interested in it I can email it to you, just pm me your email address.
