Just wanted to say how much i love my truck. Its a 00 f350 ext cab long bed 6 inch lift 36 inch tires 4 inch strait exhaust 6637 filter hutch mod shimmed fpr egt boost and oil pressure gauge and my wonderful predator programmer......lol dp is in the works.
I just got back from a 500 mile round trip truck turned over 288000 miles pulling my 28 foot triple axle gooseneck empty to dayton oh and loaded back to wv trailer weighs in at 5k and car was close to 4k averaged close to 13 mpg had the tuner on the tow tune pulled great at 60-65 in 6th egts stayed under 1200 on all but a few hills i had to go to 5th. I just wanted to say how good these trucks are .

 

I'm with ya. The more I work my truck, the more I LOVE it.

 

Amen to that. When I talk about my truck and the information I gain on this site, the guys at work think I'm crazy. Well, except for the one other person who has a powerstroke 7.3. He's always curious what I've learned.

 

I just hit 195K and other than a few small issues, she is as good a the day I got her. The seat is a little worn from my fat azz though

 

I sure do love my truck too.

I still sometimes ponder getting a 6 liter truck from time to time, just cause of the amazing power they can produce with just plain tuning.
Today i was browsing in the 6 liter forums and came across one that the guy made 428ish hp with just tuning and a basically stock truck. That made me question my decision on teh 7.3, untill I read another few threads about headgaskets, d'oh!

Long pointless story, but in short I do love my superduty alot, sure beats my gasser that in replaced!

 

Don't get soft on us Mr. "I find a CPS easier to carry in the glovebox and change on the side of the road than a set of head gaskets and a turbo"
I love my SD as well, I just wish it would wake up one morning with a DP Tuner and BTS trans then my world would be complete!

 

There you go again. After you get this, you will want a bigger turbo, bigger injectors, ect. I assure you, it don't stop. PMS with PAA.

EDIT: Yes, I love my truck.

 

Lol you remember that eh?

Ive been getting the mod bug quite abit lately too. I decided to wait for the f6 dp tuner, then would like to install the supporting mods at the same time.

Been reading about the 140v idm mod, and have been reading alot of what people are talking about new sticks and upgraded turbos.

And I think i love my truck now, just wait till after some mods!

 

Rick, I guess you caught me... Stage I's would be nice I don't want to go too nuts, I think if I ended up with those three things I'd be happy.
Sheldon how could I forget that comment? It still cracks me up, I'm waiting for my opportunity to drop that bomb on a SickLeaker owner!

 

I wanted to jump on this band wagon, Just about every third time I jump in my truck, I say the same thing, " God I love my truck"

 

Amen to that! All the vehicles I have ever had, this is the first that I felt that way.

 

Dave, I think you just summed it up with your post.

 

Love mine too.. but ricks right it does not stop.

BTW rick, hows the new TN treating u now?

 

It's doing great. I feel a lot better with it, sounds great, good egt, and can't wait to get the injectors. They will come after this storm crap is out of the way.

I asked you the same thing when I reped you a little while ago. lol

 

Me too of course, Huck, I'm quoting you because I want to ask you about your tool box. In your photo it looks like a DeeZee. Is that what it is? They are the Rolls Royces of truck mounted tool boxes if it is.
