I love everything about my "Blue", I had my plugs and coils changed a month ago and learned I had four repaired threads, two fell apart when the plugs were removed and the other two stayed intact.

My mechanic re-thread serted the two bad ones without any problems, was a little concerned, but it's been fine since.

I also have the SCT LiveWire 9600 tuner with 87 economy, tow, and perfomance. I have tried all three over several tanks of gas and found better mileage and performance with the the performance setting.

Steve, Just happy to have another V10 person to talk to.

Did you get your SCT from Mike at 5 Star? I got mine about two weeks back and the Y pipe and have only driven it 25 miles since. It has been too sloppy outside.

What kind of gas mileage you seeing towing and empty?

I better stop now or all of the DSL guys might get upset!

Good afternoon everybody! Still raining here and no end in site.

Afternoon Lee, He is looking for either an OBS or a superduty with the 7.3 psd preferably a superduty. I know he wants at least an ex cab or crew cab, box length does not matter. The usual bells and whistles. Miles arent a big concern if it is in good shape and runs better than the one we looked at last night. I am thinkin he would like to stay under that $14,000 range if he can but you never know if a really good deal comes along that may change.

Congrats on the divorce Miles. Hopefully now you can hang out here more often. I would push that Toyota off a cliff before it drives you off the cliff! At least you got your psd!!!

Depends on the Toyota I guess. I would not be afraid to drive one personally but on the other hand I would not put my wife in one... Maybe you shold have insisted the ex drive it more often Miles?

Glad that is at least mostly behind you now. Any kids with her? If so you will always be tied to her because of that.

I know Troy, I am not worried.

It is not like I made a statement like one guy on the V10 forum. He says" My V10 will out pull your powerstroke". Then his discalimer is a stock 7.3 DSL and he has a supercharger in his V10.

I would still take the PSD if I was a betting man. I don't think a supercharger would really help on torque.
