Thumbs up Finally did it

Well I have been back and forth on whether or not to trade in my '02 w/ nearly 200k on it for a new '07, and as the title of the post says I finally did it! Basically the same features as my '02 had, but no rattles (those drive me insane) and a whole lot quieter. She is a Dark Stone F-350 CC 4x4 XLT FX4. Nice truck, I just hope I get 200K + out of this one too with the same amount of problems as I had on my '02 (very little). I'm going to put some miles on this week and get it ready for a trip down to Pismo with the toy hauler next weekend and see how it does.

Trying to find an emotion that fits..... Oh here we go

just rememeber to maintain your new truck. the 6.0s are as good as the 7.3s in my opinion to some degree if they are maintained well. the owners are the big difference with these trucks. congrats on the buy, happy truckin

I have always maintained my vehicles very well and plan on doing the same with this truck. With as much as I am on the road away from home, I can't afford to be lax on maintenance. Thanks Guys!
