Thanks guys, if it was up to me I'd name home something cool but because I only have 50% of the choice I have to compromise. So I think we've decided on Tucker... For now anyways until my girlfriend decides she wants to change his name again lol

It`s been a long time since we`ve had winters like that, so far not a lot of snow here this year.

Morris, I hope the coming summer is extra nice to make up for this challenging winter.
Hope everyone is settling back for a nice evening in front of the fire with your feet up!!!
My 2005 F250 with the 6.0 did about the same mileage wise or even better than my 2012 F150 does with the 5.0.
Thanks Sherm but this winter hasn't been all bad.

Other parts of Sask have had more snow than we have here.

The streets around here are like curling ice after this weekend and the snow in the fields is just about gone.
Have a good evening everyone.
I used to average about 18-20 with my 6.0.
Saskatoon streets are mostly very icy too.

Nothing like that happening around here.

There have been funny things going on with subscription emails, the FTE staff have been trying to find a fix and maybe it`s been fixed since today I haven`t heard any more about it. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...t-notices.html

It seems a lot of Canada and USA is in the deep freeze, it`s going to be a very long winter!

Randy, time for some clean socks...

Morris, you're right, there has been a couple breaks. I think the biggest problem was the extreme cold early instead of February.

Hello Clint, steve, grant, curtis, and whoever else...

Feet up by the fire watching Pit Bulls and Parolees...

Evening everyone, so my girlfriend and I just made a run into oakbank for some Timmy's and on our way there we reported a car for suspissous driving to the police, he was all over the road and even had his wheels on the other side of the yellow line while passing traffic!! A few times I hit the brakes because I was sure he was gonna hit the on coming traffic!

When I'm standing no one sees the bottom of my socks, why get clean ones when they're just gonna get dirty again

Ditto.



I used to average about 18-20 with my 6.0.
Saskatoon streets are mostly very icy too.
I have put 50k on my truck since I bought it and it has averaged 16.3mpg. I have got as low as 11.8 and as high as 22.6. Over all I am very happy with the mileage.

When I got that 18+ mpg with the 05 F350/6.0 was on a trip going at a pretty good clip. I never did check it on short trips.
