6.0l Excursions FTW!

ROFL! Maybe the 6.0 forum can give the 7.3 forum some orange triangles for Christmas this year.

If I ever have to replace my 7.3 it would be with a 6.0 because of this forum.

After that post, you may not be able to wait that long. The 7.3l guys are never gonna look at you the same now. You're ready to come to the dark side.

Mrs. Wilkes is what you want but only open from 11-2, sorry. The Shell House is sea food (obviously) just west of I-95 Abercorn Ext. Exit south of I-16.

I will find you something, let me put on my Fodor's hat.

Really? While driving through the Rockies I was very disappointed in my 6.8's lack of power. Once I slowed down I was hard pressed to get back to speed. I actually thought several times that I would hate to be towing any size of trailer
