Soon she'll start noticing other trucks and wanting to go out on drives with them

Mine was October 2000, so she actually turned 12 this year. Had her since August 2001, so 11 years and almost 358K of ownership.

Mine was born 11/00 as well. I guess we should get them all together for a parkover in someone's driveway...

Mine's 3/17/05. And since Mineral Gray has a bit of a green tone to it, I'm going to worry more about it wanting to party and drink instead of going to a 'parkover' in a few years.

Oh wait, it already has a drinking problem...

Mine was built December 3rd '99

Goto that site, punch in your VIN, and you can get a bunch of info on your rig, including build date and axle ratios

For those of you looking for new steering wheels, expand your search to Navigator (or Blackwood if you have a 2005).

Happy Birthday to The Monster!

Today The Monster is 10 years old according to Ford ETIS.

Gotta work a side job on another 6.0 this evening, but Once the sun sets a little, it'll be getting detailed.

A couple coats of wax, leather cleaner, armor-all the interior, should suffice.

It might also get a new set of 155 injectors.
