Hey guys and girls,

I've been on this site a while but I forgot I had this account so my activity level is quite low, but I'm here to stay now!

I live in the northern end of Manitoba, Gillam to be exact. I drive a 2011 F350 6.7 Powerstroke and love it. Its my first diesel and I don't think I'm going back to a gas job any time soon . Its 325/65r18 Duratrac (not in picture), a DPF delete pipe, S&B intake and Spartan tuning, soon to be H&S with SPE's Hot-X MCC tuning


Here is a picture of my 2010 F150 with a 6" lift that I traded in for my diesel

 

Hey Randy, nice looking rig. Welcome back to FTE from a neighbour

 

Sharp looking truck. Welcome and thanks for posting the pics.

 

Welcome and sweet truck!!!

 

Glad you checked in Randy!! Great meeting you and having you over in the ManCave for a few bubblies the other day. Look forward to twisting the throttle on the trails with you when you bring your sled down for the next visit.
She's a sweet ride!!

 

Thanks guys, and it was good meeting you too Curtis. Also I don't know want kind of sled you're riding but last time I checked they were squeeze throttle, not twist haha

 

Somehow I thought someone would say something about that.......

 

Hi and welcome aboard Randy, nice to meet you.

Have you converted your throttle Curtis? I did that to a Raptor my wife had. She found the thumb throttle a nuscience after riding dirt bike for a few years. It worked well.

Man caves and bubblies sound awesome...

 

No, It's still thumb on both machines. Never did try the twist. Couple guys I raced with tried it and it didn't work out so good for them. One was at arena cross in 06. He Ended up loosing throttle control, nailing the finish line jump and flat landing breaking his rear axle along with a pile of other damage.

As for the ManCave, there's an open invite if anyone's ever in the area

 

Shes a beaut. what kind of mileage power figures you think you got after deletes n stuff?

 

Thanks, my mileage really depends on the weather and speed. I get about the same in town with 35s vs stock with stock tires, and I still get about 1-3 better on the highway. On the highway when I'm not in a hurry and doing 100km/h in the summer I usually see 21-22mpg, even on my 35s. And doing 110, I'll see 17-19mpg. In town if I keep my foot out of it I can get 13-15. In winter time or with strong winds my mileage takes a big hit, I'll get any where from 16-19 on the higway doing 100. My last tank was all gravel highway (no cruise control) and town driving all with my hubs manually locked and in 4x4 for probably half the tank and I got about 11.8mpg. Towing, my mileage still sucks but what do you expect when towing lol. I dont tow enough to really measure how much I gained for fuel mileage though. Now for the power factor, it puts a smile on my face every time I push my foot down on the go peddle. It'll spin my 35s without spooling the turbo, and if I spool the turbo it'll spin the tires through 3rd gear. It surprises most people that don't know any thing a bout diesels. According to Snyder Performance Engineering, they say their performance tune is about 550rwhp. I wont say my truck is that powerful for the fact that I dont like to talk my truck up just in case someone wants to race, I want them to believe its big and slow lol.
