Finally Here
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 30-Jun-02 AT 03:00 PM (EST)]Hi.. Well I have been lurking around here for 4 months waiting for my Ford. Well it finally arrived. Takes a long time to get from Ford to Germany, especially after the stateside delivery point lost it for a month. First I want to thank all of you for your advice. I have read thousands of posts to see what I needed. I read so much about Oil, I am now very confused. I think I might try and mix 5W 20 and 5W 30 so I can have 5W 25. 
Even though it may void the warranty for the entire truck, the day after I picked up the truck, I put in 4 new Kenwood speakers(lol). The sound is just Awesome. I also managed to get the X-springs. Not sure how, I just ordered everything I could. Only getting 10 MPG so far with the V10 and 4:30 gears, but I am hoping that will get a little better. When you get on the autoban, you need to merge at around 75MPH. Even as big as this truck is, the pickup from 45 to 75 is really great. And yes, the limiter is at 96 MPH. Kinda sucks getting passed by a dodge pickup when you are doing 95 and you know you can't keep up.
If ya wanna see some pictures, go to my website:
