Saying goodbye

Thought I would post one last thread here as I no longer own my 03' F250 w/6.0. It was replaced last night w/a 2013 F150 5.0. Too many problems in a short period of time w/the 6.0 and the wife and I felt like it was time to move on. I would like to express my appreciation to those who helped me thru a lot of those problems and get good fixes. I now have LOTS of experience working on the 6.0 and hopefully can help others in the future. Once again, thanks for all the great advice.

Ahhhhh. Why not just keep both of them around? F150 has it's place, but there are just times that it's good to have ole faithful around.

The 5.0 has some serious ***** to it, but you will miss your 6.0...eventually

Appreciate it guys. I won't be missing the PSD. I have a 99' w/7.3 in it that I use for big boy work! A whopping 63K on her. I had the 6.0 as my "family car". Just drove from Vegas to North Ogden and back this weekend for Thanksgiving and I'm very happy w/the purchase. The 5.0 has plenty of get up and go w/decent gas mileage. I will be in here talking 6.0 some. I have a couple of friends who still drive them.
