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.
Thanks! There's so much good info here on FTE, I've saved a ton of money but ended up spending it elsewhere on mods, etc. ha ha. Great job on the 5.4 plug change, I never tackled the plugs on my old 6.8 but read lots of threads about changing plugs on those modular motors. It didn't sound fun at all. Don't be a stranger!

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.
If you think for a second you'll miss the grunt of a diesel, get the 4.30 gears and enjoy. The 6.2 will pull that load, and yeah you'll pay for it in fuel, but towing a 10k trailer under 5k miles a year in my mind doesn't justify the need for a diesel.

I never did see the mpg's that everyone posts either when my truck was stock so you're not the only one... Now mine's even worse with the tuner, but it's worth it.

Well guys, im picking up my new wheels tomorrow. I didn't order, but another dealer found almost the exact truck I built online.
Lariat 4x4 loaded, Kodiak Brown, 6.2L, 20" wheels
I'll get some pics ASAP.
And I believe I'm at $7200 off MSRP.

Best of luck to you.
Post those pixs!
I placed my order last week. The wait is going to kill me... I am looking at the end of May for delivery.
I agree with others, great forum.

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.

The easiest way is to go to your User CP and go to edit gallery and start a album. From there you can copy or use a thumb nail to use them in a post.
I really want to see pics of your truck because it's the same color we ordered .

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.

I resize all photos before I post them using this free program Visualizer Photo Resize - Download I don't think FTE will do it for you.

1. Open up a photobucket account (free).
2. Take picture and upload it to account (you do this while logged into your photobucket account).
3. Once uploaded, go to your album, there's a "IMG code" field, click in there, it'll highlight the link so you can copy it (right click, copy or Ctrl + C).
4. Paste the link in your thread (with the img tags and all).

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.

Android has the Photobucket app too, it's nice since FTE won't join the rest of the world and use Tapatalk... Drive's me crazy that they won't...
