Nice milestone, Frank!

Considering how hard it has worked over the years pulling "concrete beehives", it's looking real sharp, too!

But our motors are kinda' like the Timex of trucks, "Takes a lickin', and........"

I would like to. Once the camper is sold I'll start collecting the parts.

Frank congrats on the 300k I can't believe how nice your truck looks for a E99. Dog gone truck gets to live it life down south.

Now if you are kicking around the idea of making it a 4wd. Why not have a custom Dana80 made for the front diff. These guys have done it sorry I don't have a link to the build but here is their website.

I've been dumping a lot of money in my tank lately, I blew the trans in my daily commuter (Honda CBR 1100) so my truck has been my only ride. 250+ miles a week @ $4.15 gal is slowly killing me. (I don't think BTS works on Honda's )
Good to see you around Costa, hope your new 6.7 is treating you well.

Rick, You have to drive your truck in order for those little numbers to roll over. Backing it out of your shop to put a coat of wax on it doesn't count as "driving"
I'm happy to know that at least I'm responsible for your truck making the trip to Baytown Tx.

Don't want to jinx myself but the 6.7 is treating me really well so far but I only have 25k her.
My son is driving the 7.3 but Ricks still got me beat mine only has 155k!
