Yeah, like this quote.^^^
You might need to hang out in the 6.0 section just to get in on a conversation!

I think the '15s and '16s are the best -- not sold on the aluminum trucks...

Enjoy the new ride, but like the others have said and based on what I've seen, you'll be back here for the action...

Agree 100%. The 6.7 forum can get boring at times , however, that's also a good thing. I still enjoy visiting here. Lots of good people and one or two turds. lol

You need a 6.0L Mike to keep you on your toes... Boring isn't fun.

Guys I appreciate it!!! one thing I've learned so far on the 6.7, is that it will stay stock for a very very long time!! I purchased an extended warranty so I could finally sleep at night after 5 years!!

Stock works for me. I'm happy if it just runs the way it came from the factory.

100% correct but it's cheap. Don't get me wrong. I loved my 6.0. It never left me stranded but I couldn't keep putting turbos in every 20,000 miles on average. Would still have it if Ford hadn't bought it back.
