New Truck!!

Well I finally got the extended cab I have been wanting.... I got a 1997 F350 XLT today... Dually. Automatic. Best thing is it has less than 100,000 miles on it...

It has a chip, downpipe back exhaust, intake, gooseneck hitch, in bed fuel tank with tool box, a PacBrake Exhaust brake. Thing is pretty good looking... Ill have better pictures tommorow...






Only down fall is that its a 2wd... but for what I paid for it, I can live with that...

Too much work... LOL keep it 2x4....


but the car truck needed a cam sensor, and that is it, i bought it fixed actually, its getting a fuel filter tommorow though, still dont have plates on it yet though... I love the truck thus far though, the exhaust brake is sweet though... and it starts instantly no issues at all sat all day and had 2 seconds on the glow plugs and it fired no smoke...

Ive seen that picture before somewhere, craiglist at some dealership? Since you say its already got a chip I doubt youll be going to the DP event at Tom's after all. Im supposed to be there later today getting my chip fixed. I know youll be at FordFest but I gotta work that night so Im not going to that race. But I already put in for the days off to go to Diesels on the the mountain, and Truckfest. So Im sure youll be racing the new truck at one of those by then.
