Yet Another New SD Owner

Guys,

Just wanted to drop you all a quick note and introduce myself. I just bought myself a spank'n new 2002 F250 SC LWB Lariat True Blue with Arizona Biege two tone. Has the 7.3L PSD and loaded with options: Max Front GAWR, 8800# GVWR Package, Tow Package, Tow Mirrors, Off Road Package, etc....IT ROCKS!!!

I need it to tow a boat I'm getting in June. The boat/trailer wieght is ~9,000lbs. But, I'll be driving it around town and to/from work cause...I just love driving it and Ford Trucks Rule!!!

I've read lot's of good posts here in this forum. You guys are a great resource! I'm glad I found ya!

Sorry, I can't divulge the secret handshake, Monsta.

jimme

P.S. I just love the smell of Diesel in the morning....smells like......victory!!!

Jimme, congrats on the new truck! By the way it smells like crap while I'm driving behind you and then have to change lanes before I suffocate with my eyes burning. More power to you! Trimman

I just wanted to say that I LOVE the smell of PSD exhaust, although with my V10 I rarely get the opportunity to be behind one!

Ok...so the gassers have an inferiority complex. I can deal with it. BTW, I'm not prejudice against those gassers either, I don't care which of us diesel drivers smokes'em off the road.

Thanks for the welcoming shots across the bow...I'll be sure to keep my head down around all the gassers out there.

Just joking with you guys.

Looking forward to all the good input from all of you folks, gas or diesel.

I wouldn't say I regret not getting a stinker... I like not having to dump 4 gallons of oil in my truck once a month and pay .25 more a gallon for fuel...

I got a rip for that V10
you rarely get the opportunity to get behind one cause them V10's can't keep up with our PSD's.

The day after I bought my 10 my neighbour fired up his old diesel. That was the best day of my life. I was so glad that I didn't buy one of those stinky noisy buggers.
But powerstroke is rightly named. Now go out and kick all the Cummins and Jap diesels butts.
