"new" tow rig
Picked this up today. 2003 F350 6.0 PSD 4x4. 104,000 miles on it, but its in good shape mechanically. Can't wait to tow something with it 
I'm loving it so far, this 6.0 has so much more power than our old 7.3s. Now I just need to sell my mazda. anyone lookin for some rice?

Oh yeah. I can't wait to start modding this one, lol. I have to save up some cash first though. I think my first mod will be a good set of gauges. Then exhaust.. then chip time

You'll love how that 6.0 works! I'll admidt that when mine broke the branch tube and was in the shop for 2 months, I hated the 6.0 motor. But now that it's back on the road and running great, I can't beat it. Mine's still stock and gets around 19-20 highway mpg and around 14-16 towing my mud truck.
Speaking of mud truck, now that you have a good tow rig, are you coming down to Richmond, VA this coming Sat (Sept 1) for the mud bog (www.muddinformoney.com)? A few of us from the VA chapter will be there either running our trucks or going for broke!!

I think the 6.0 is 325/550. I'm not sure which controller I'll go with yet, but my dad knows someone at the local trailer shop so I guess I'll get whatever he can get me a deal on. It pulls much harder than my dad's 7.3 dually with 4.30s, so there was a significant power increase with the 6.0.
I did an OASIS on this 6.0 before I bought it and the worst repair was a tranny flush, so i think its one of the "good ones". I don't think I'll be able to make it this weekend though. I have work(gotta pay for this thing! lol) and school starts the next monday, so I need to get ready for that.

I'm not sure if I want to do stacks yet. I love the look of them, but I don't know if I want to cut holes in my bed, loose the ability to put a toolbox there, and I might have clearance issues when I get a gooseneck.

yea, i didnt think about the holes in the bed. but there in a guy up the road from me tha drives a shortbed dodge with small 5" stacks with a tool box, and i see him pulling a 5th wheel camper all the time.
If a dodge will do it, then a Ford will do it better!

Nice truck, the rear doors are a little short though. Kiding!
I've been looking for a SD for a little while now, 7.3's are super reliable, but the 6.0's are flat out fast! I drove one yesterday and was very impressed. I'm just leary of the 03-04's. I've done a ton of Oasis searches on local trucks, and have finally found one without a bad paper trail. Just have to convince the BOSS, err I mean wife!
