Love My PowerStroke

Hi Guys, maybe off topic a bit but just wanted to say how much I love my PowerStroke. Recently we got hammered with snow, about 5 1/2 feet total over a week. One day the temp dipped down to -2* my truck wasn't plugged in but after 4 tries it roared to life. I know some areas may normally have these conditions but in the N.W. area it is extremely rare to get so much snow and the cold temps with it. As far as driving my truck just chugged along with no problems. Like to wish you all a Happy New Year with your PowerStroke and many trouble free miles! I attached the link to my gallery pics.

You got to love some thing this good. How many things do you own that you can upgrade so much.

Darrington huh? I've been through there a handful of times, wifey was raised over in Winthrop. Surprisingly enough, Winthrop has almost no snow which is unusual for this time of year. I'm headed for home tomorrow, hopefully I can get the snowplow fired up and clean our place up (been gone over a week).

Howdy Mike!

I see you're in my neck of the woods, if you ever need help on that truck of yours shoot me a PM.


But yeah, I love my Powerstroke too, she can be a handful at times but it's the best truck and engine I will ever own.

As for the snow, it would be nice if we could get a weeks worth. Nothing too heavy, just something. It's a sweltering 80 degrees at the height of December! Mike can vouch.....

Well any of you in the sweltering 80's can come for a visit or I have plenty to send ya. Now it's getting up to the mid 30's and it's a sloppy mess. Wish it got up to the 80's for a few days to get rid of it. Oh and just to mention it snowed for a few hours last night adding a few more inches. Just crazy....................

I don't know much, but if you need a extra set of hands I'll be happy to help you out. Where in Spring are you?
