Thanks Guys,
I have actually had about 5 F-150s in that timeframe and just did get my first Super Duty.
Matt will have to say that since getting the SD, I have been lurking around here for a little, and must say that this forum is very friendly due to folk like you.
I have other vehicles and always search forums for tips and maintenance. I dislike when someone asks a question and gets crucified by others. But I can say that you are very helpful and quick to assist with no insults or gripes - Just an honest thank you for being a great human being.
I will brag for a second and let all know that I changed all the spark plugs in my 5.4 with no breaks - again due to all the info gathered on forums. Take Care. Maybe Ill post again in a few years.

So now you all have me thinking. I have a good 6.4L and am contemplating buying a new rig. Mine is a daily driver, and I drag a 10,000 pound brick camping all summer. That said, I just can't get into paying $7800 for a diesel option. I bleed diesel, but think that a 6.2L may be a good option. If my figures are correct, I could drive the truck for 10 years before I blew the $7800 on gas to break even. Would I be happy?
I drive about 25k a year,and under 5k is towing. So if the majority is driving unloaded, I can't help thinking i'll miss the power of the diesel, and get sick of 14mpg quickly. Plus, I imagine resale on a higher- mileage 1-ton with a gas mill will be hard to offload next time. What are your thoughts on this? Im ready to do tires, shocks, and brakes shortly on my F250, but would rather save the cash as a deposit on a new rig if I can make up my mind. Have to say I'll miss the attention I get in my Harley Edition, but dont think a high level Platinum is in the cards this time.

This is a bad *** truck. I have never had a 4x4 and on 20's too... This thing sits just right.
I'm trying to post pics but it looks like the only way is to type in the address of the pic. There has to be a better way.

You haven't created a gallery yet, I'm also not sure how many posts you have to have before you can do that.

I was trying to create an album and the pic load failed. It was supposed to resize the pic, but it didn't even do that.

This is the best and fastest way. Also if you have a iPhone, there is a app for that. If you take the picture with your phone then you can upload it right from your phone without connecting it to your computer.
