Are you planning on operating with some sort of "bio-diesel"? With the diesel trucks we have at work, I buy Propel HPR. Since it's not mine, I'm not checking the expense log to figure out what the cost per mile or miles per gallon are. But what I can tell you, from personal observation, is that the engine is quieter and there is no black smoke belching from the exhaust. I don't know all the particulars in regards to energy content. So I don't know if you will get better or worse power and torque. But not once have I ever tried to haul a load, and it just did not have enough power.
I also like keeping my Premium ESP warranty (8yrs/150K)

Fifty150,
I may add a light bar or two into the front grill. I like the dual 6" bars people are using to fill the larger center level slots on each side of the emblem. I also want to add "Raptor" style front markers and a few extra side markers between the wheels.

Hey guys I’m still here
, man what’s up with NFL , I’ve seen better play and failed goals at pop warner level , no wonder the ratings are down,
propel fuels are great , too bad they raised the price up , my diesel runs smoother and the mileage was a lot better on the open road, I liked the added Cetain the ol Hog hauler has more power or maybe I just wore a different pair of boots with the steel toe in them
,
i for got who posted about duck hunting , but the rice fields are a hit .
super duty your going to love that truck , my buddie bought the platinum with all the bells n whistles , makes my 04 seem like a International harvester, even though I know what I can haul and he’s never had a Trailer on his ( yet ),lol
well back to the Monday through until I drop grind, why couldn’t I have been Rich instead of so good looking ( don’t answer that,lol).

Happy day after Super bore. Hope everyone stays dry. The weather guessers stated last Friday it would be heavy rains yesterday and today. I see the ground wet, but it is sunny and clear. I want a job where you don't have to be right, just guess, and still keep your job.

We've gotten a total of 6.5" of rain from the 30th into today (it's rained every day for 6 days running now). The heaviest day was Saturday when we totaled 2.78" just for that one day. We are almost up to 0.8" for today, and it's still coming down.
We have a road closure 1 mile north of us, and another 1 mile south of us, effectively cutting us off. There are conflicting reports about the one to the south, so I should probably go out and verify it. The one to the north I saw with my own eyes, so I know it's real. It's a sinkhole eating just about the entire northbound lane. The Caltrans guy at the closure said it was undermining the southbound lane too, and that it "will be a while" before they can address it.
There are other areas along the road that look like they'll need to be addressed real soon now. However, if it keeps on raining, we are in a heap of trouble.

On my truck, I removed the front license plate & bracket, then installed a light bar into the open space.
