I'm happy to see that your dealership is on the ball and that you'll be back on the road again soon, dualwheels66. As always, if I can be of any assistance, I'm just a few mouse clicks away.

Hey, Roy!

Enjoy the holiday weekend!

He also mentioned he has done enough of these turbos that he can do them in his sleep, and all the ones he has done have all been low mileage trucks. Thankful for my warranty.
Sorry to hear it. That sucks. Heres a little piece of advice, I hope you don't mind me passing this along. The best thing to do is what I do, just keep turning up your radio. It works great for me. Then I let someone borrow my truck for a little while and when they return I blame them, lol. Of course I am the "good guy" and don't accept any money for the work. Hope this was helpful, good luck.

I hope you didn't mind the levity. Seriously, good luck, hope it all is fixed up quickly. Have a good Memorial Weekend.

Introduce myself to the 6.7 forum.

Hey Guys,
This looks like the perfect thread to stop in and say hi.

Just picked up a 2012 F350 CC Dually.

Last diesel pickup I owned was a 7.3 N/A

WOW what a difference. This is my fifth Superduty, and it's my favorite by far.

First Tow

Howdy guys! !
1st Tow with Jolly Green! !
Yippee! !!!

We are sitting in a nice comfortable 5th wheel. .....Furnace brought the temperature up to 70°. Outside temp 52°F. It has been raining all morning.
First thing I noticed was the easy and very smooth start and acceleration! !
Much better than the 2011 F350 SRW I had. 65 mph on a short run of interstate and then 65 on 2 lane roads. Up and down and windy roads.
Truck drove like nothing was being towed. The exhaust brake is much better than what the earlier years had.
The airbags are great. Started with 50 psi and then went to 60 psi. The truck was level and rode on rough roads very nice. The last 4 miles was up a steep muddy / rocky trail that flattened out to a muddy trail. What a mess.
It has stopped raining. Hope it is sunny tomorrow. We are on the shore of a reservoir outside of Augusta Montana.
