LOL!
Nah... all my money goes toward motorcycle stuff. Trucks are just something to transport the bikes/campers
But... I do need some good floor mats. My Honda as rubber ones with upturned edges so my carpets stay perfect. Would like something similar for the F250. Any pointers???

Definitely not me! To be honest, I can't wait for the truck to shift into overdrive so the engine quiets down.
As I said, this truck is a tool for me. I get my thrills on the racetrack.. on two wheels.
This is one of my instructors following me around our NH track. This was for instructional purposes and is "relatively slow"

If you're pulling, you'll want *at least* and opened up intake & exhaust (better mileage, lower EGTs), bigger trans cooler and a TransGo/mod'ed accumulator VB (lower trans temps, WAAAAY better shifting, extending life of trans). That is, if yours isn't a 6-speed. A set of gauges would be nice too, so you can see what your truck is actually doing. The "gauges" on the dash are glorified idiot lights. The trans temp gauge only goes to yellow & red when it's too late. Then you might want to look at better brakes (cryo'ed rotors/Hawk pads). Then you might find out that after all that, a little bump in power will help on hills... 
There -- that's what I'd do. Now get out your wallet.
