I'm not sure if I'll get the chance again because sometime in the next few months I may be moving out of OH for good. Switching careers and going to be full time military again and I'm waiting to see where they want me to go.

And Bill, be warned: Texas is my first preference for an assignment...
If you end up at fort hood that would put you 1/2 an hour from me.

I'll join the fun as long as my schedule allows and distance isn't an issue.

That would be awesome, getting a 3V V10 and a 6.4 PSD together.

We need to find a stock 7.3 to compare to my v10.

I have never towed with either of my trucks except for throwing a chain to a Dodge and pulling them off the road. But if there is any way I can get to another truck showdown, I'll do it. I would be bringing the 02 in my sig. Should get some gauges for it if I do that!

It's kind of a long drive for you, but the more the better!

No really... The only pulling track I know of is a place that does a antique tracker pull once a year. I believe it's in the summer but I'm not sure which month. I check into it, maybe they'll let some trucks on the track.

Where is the tractor show? We have one in Temple every year but they do not allow trucks. Insurance they have says no.

I really want to find one, that would be the perfect test.

Shame I only have 2wd.
