Unhappy "Traitor" 6.0

I can't believe it. I gave up my F-350 6.0 for a 2500HD with a 6.0 gas burner. I know what your thinking, TRAITOR!! Due to the unfortunate economic downward spiral, I was forced to lay off my best friend, almost like a brother, and take receipt of my company truck (Chevy 2500HD). He needed to move some things from his apt. in San Antonio to his home in Houston and he doesn't have a pick up. I've loaned him my truck (to be picked up whenever I get to Houston again) and I'm driving my company truck inwhich I haven't driven it in over a year. It's been 3 long days. I really miss my truck...and my brother!! Is there any light at the end of this tunnel??

oh, I'll get her back. One thing I've noticed just today. I always complained about the turning radius of the chevy or lack thereof. When I bought my longbed 4 door F-350, I didn't realize what no turning radius meant. I no longer complain about the chevy turning radius (it's a shortbed cab and 1/2). I need 4 wheel steering!

Oh don't even go there and my experiance with a 5.4 for two weeks while rear collision on my truck was being fixed because some pimply face kid decided to see if his half-ton could "breed" the big hipped one ton. No issues with speeding tickets with that engine platfrom that's for sure and that was a 5.4 in a half-ton, I couldn't imagine would it would be like in the heavier superduty trucks.
