I learned more today about these trucks than I have in a while.. some of these mods seem more complicated than they really are..

These guys have some experience under their belts with these powerstrokes...

I like seeing pictures of all you guys.
Thanks!!! It's been a long time since I've been accused of looking too young. That just made my whole day

Dude!! You need to upgrade your sig. DP-Tuner, ATS housing, Di-pricol Optix gauges, BTS valvebody.......starting to look impressive.

BTW...I was most impressed today by the gauges. Those Di-pricol Optix are probably the best looking gauges I've seen. Really super clean, and the LED backlighting rocks!

Great job, guys!!! And I have to agree on the DiPricols -- they're worth every penny.

OT: I'm about the same age as Cookie -- I turn 38 in June. Whew.... Hard to believe. I found some old pics and put them up on a military board I'm on. One of me in uniform in 1989 in Italy, another in 1998 in Bosnia, and one from 2008 (last month) here in Texas. Man, I think I have more miles on me than my truck has...

EDIT: I've also been deployed to Saudi, Egypt, and a few other places I can't mention. Now Iraq is coming up. I guess I haven't really thought too much about it, but no wonder I feel older than I am. lol....

Dang what am I thinking, thanks for the heads up...man those gauges do really look good at night.
