Smile boy that was fun

well i jsut got done with my 120 mile trip from salem OR to bend OR
theres a pass inbetween here and there and im still impressed with the amount of power that my truck has every d*** day. i decided to go full throttle all the way up.
i was able to keep around 60 mph. and of course during the passing lane some kid in his white subaru tried to pass me.
he got behind me shifted to the other lane and seriously punched it, the only thing i could hear was his turbo screaming. and about the time he got to the front of the truck i get to watch white and black smoke start shooting out from under his hood. i stopped to see if i could do anything for him but he turned me down, thatl teach him to try and pass a 7.3 idi now wont it!

by the way where did you guys find those headers?

When I brought my truck home, I was thinking I'd made a mistake. I was screaming along at 65 per, 2500 rpm, and there was just barely enough power to keep 'er moving. Finally, Nature called, and I pulled off at a rest area to raise the local water table a bit (you know, there's a drought on, we all gotta do our bit!)

I just about got blown under the truck. Seriously, the wind was blowing up the gorge at about 50 mph!

Since then, I've never, ever lacked for power from this thing... it's like a tsunami with a clutch.
