Make sure you check your oil too....

Yes Sir. ....
I am hoping to see an improvement by the time we get back from Alaska.

Jesse, both of those trucks are drop dead gorgeous. These F-450's are great tow vehicles.

Jesse great pics man, thx

Great story man, QUOTE:

A picture of the '56 before a show and my '59 4400TD returning from a show. My Dad drove the '59 when it was new, putting over 900,000 miles on it driving from Longview, Tx to Pittsburgh, PA. When the company traded it in for new White Freightliner, the dealer kept the truck and made a wrecker out of it. It stayed at the same dealer from October '66 until I bought it in Jan '06 and started its restoration.

Truck didn't make it home, I was pulling out of the camp site to go dump the tanks and realized I had no boost, so I just unhitched and called AAA. Should have got the '15. I think this will be the last Ford truck that I buy.

If it is a 6.0 engine. I had the hose from turbo to engine (on our 04) come off. Giving no boost. Easy fix.

Those are really a good tire. What are you running for pressure in them? What size?
