If everything works out the way I hope, tomorrow I'll take ownership of a 1997 F250HD Extended Cab 4x4 with 460, E4OD and 4.10LS. It has a lot of highway miles, but the engine doesn't rattle, smoke or leak and it runs as smooth as my wife's '02 5.4L. Should make an excellent 'farm' truck for $5000.

I know it's not a new SuperDuty, but can I rejoin the club if I get this truck?

Most definitely keeping the KIA... it's a kick-butt little SUV now that it has some decent tires and a small lift.

Been reading the 25" lift thread waiting to see how it turns out. Going to check to see if *** makes components for older F250s.

I think your KIA needs a 25" lift. That would be cool!!

Good to have you back!

Hope I don't speak too soon, but welcome back. NOMO will be a ford man again and it sounds like the Monsta is wanting back in the club again too. We knew you guys couldn't stay away too long.

The 1997 F250 is sitting out in my shop right now.

I sure do love the sound of a BIG-block gasser.

Can ya tell I'm excited to be a "Heavy Duty" owner.
