i thinks its time
i think its time to sell my stroker. trans is messin up and i really want a real truck. i'm prolly gonna go test drive a d-max sometime this week. i'm tired of my underpowered sluggish truck. and the tranny goin out doesn't help the situation any.

From one of your posts over in the Super Duty forum talking about a diesel swap into a gasser:
"my truck has never been in the shop for anything. its a 7.3 and yes it will dust the 5.4's ***, rip it in a knot, and it gets 19mpg average. and who cares about pollution i live out in the counrty. i blow smoke just for the hell of it."<!-- KEN: 1-13-2007: show 300x250 ad-block to non-Club FTE users in the 1st post of every page --><!-- / Ken, end of hack --><!-- / message --><!-- no sigs except when logged in --><!-- sig -->

Sounds like the trans was bound to go out @ somepoint.
But anyways... good luck w/ the D-max hunting. Great city truck w/ IFS.

What I see here is a man waiting for someone to tell him not to sell his truck but to upgrade. If you like your truck then get the BTS and go from there. Stick with what you know you like and make it a beast. Just my 2 cents.

We've all been there. I'm still waiting on my trans to take a dump and to do the BTS trip, but she keeps on shifting. It's a good problem I know.
The D-max's are great, but i guarantee you won't find one for cheap and who wants to buy a Stroker with a shot tranny? At 92k, keep it, go to BTS and order a DP and dust some D-max's.
You're sluggish powerstroke will be no longer and you'll still have the BEST truck.
