Just ordered 2015 F350

Well I just got tired of repair bills on the 2007 F350 and my wife's 2008 Chrysler 300c.

The f350 had 162,000 miles and the 300C had 142,00.

So... ordered essentially the same truck as what I had, f350 supercab Lariat with many extras oxford white two tone chrome lariat upgraded interior camper (to get the rear sway bar) spray in liner, 6.7 Power Stroke, navigation, clearance lights, tailgate step, 11,500 GVWR etc.

Though about the King Ranch but found out it only comes as a crew cab.

We will not be replacing the wife's car so we are eliminating one road vehicle.

I will take the stacks of the old truck and mount them on the new truck but will not plum them because of heat

This is the old truck as it will be traded in.





You can just see the tail of my wife's car.

Any concerns with the 2015 f-350?

Huh.

I love my stacks. They would not be functional any more, on the old truck I ran through the stock muffler and then came back to them they were never load.

Any concerns with the 2015?

My 2007 had the 6 liter that everyone said there was problems with, only problem was the turbo was replaced at 75,000 under the extended warranty.

They were not load, came out of the stock muffler and ran back to the stacks



What is wrong with them?

Any concerns with the 2015?

Don't take me too serious, I just offered my personal opinion, I've just never been much on stacks. If that's what you like, that's all that really matters! You're the one driving and paying for it. Besides, I don't even own a SD yet, so I am definetly unqualified to offer advice! Good thing everybody don't like just vanilla ice cream, be a sho 'nuff boring world!

I agree with Mitch here...
It's your rig.... Most of the guys I see out here in the sticks that have stacks are just Big-Rig-Driver-Wannabe's and they like to make a lot of noise... Some are not tastefully done (like yours) at all and are not only dumb looking but in some cases downright dangerous. Cue the safety cops..
I see them as really limiting what you can haul in the bed and if connected they will be a heat source that could damage things carried in the bed.
But again - it's your truck and you are the only one you have to please unless you're breaking the law in the process..

The "Y" pipe in the bed is enclosed, on a big truck there is air all around the pipes

I'm sorry to be blunt, but I've never seen any that I didn't think were absolutely hideous and would never buy a truck with them, at any price. It's mostly just an appearance thing, but I will throw in the part about the damage to the bed that must be done to install them will devalue the truck somewhat as well.
