Hi brickie, sounds like you`ve planned ahead and are ready for it. I`m happy to have the puter full of FTE too.
How`s your F350 and the 6.0 been treating you, had any serious problems?
What`s your weather and temp now Dave?
This doesn`t sound good and just before Christmas......

The truck is as good as they get and man I pound on it! Its nothing to put over 6000 lbs in the box.(you should see the state of the box floor)The 6.0.. well after adding the head studs and EGR delete with a tuner an it's been a stout powerhouse.I liked it so much I bought another 6.0 for the wife in the excursion. How has yours been?

Mine is sort of a toy with just 94,xxx kms and it`s been great.
I bought it used and it had no warranty work ever done on it.
I`ve been getting 18/19 mpg on trips averaging 120-135 km, I`m a happy camper.

With the wind, it was minus 40 out here this morning!

Supposed to be staying fairly cold from now on, that sucks, but hopefully we will get an early spring now

At least not a ton of snow in this forecast but other than that there`s not much for good news. Into Tuesday it`s still a low of 24 with only a hi of -18.

I was outside today doing some work. It was so cold with the windchill, that I had to root around in the trunk of my car to find my Mountie hat....which made the cold go away...at least for my head and my ears. The rest of me turned

Dang the wind just bit through me. I carried the trash out and froze my hands with gloves on. It was not much of a wind, but with the -30 temps it felt a lot colder.
I say winter is here and it is suspose to be a cold this year.

The cold weather blues are setting in, I hope it warms before or at least in time for Christmas.

We have a wind chill minus 44 this morning and minus 36 this afternoon. The rest of this week doesn`t sound much better with temps in the very low 20`s and probably high wind chills as well..
