First time I seen this. Nice work. Wish I knew when you were doing this. Not so far from Pittsburgh I could have brought mine over.
Questions -- thought the V-10 with 3.73 was rated for 10k max tow? and are you using weight distribution hitches or how are you keeping the rears from squatting with 15 k on it?

Looking at 6.2 now for replacement- really impressed with those 4.30's and wonder how it compared to the 3.73 I keep finding on aall the lots. Cant find a 4.30 in stock.

Weight distributing hitch. My V10 regularly pulls that much without one.

It's posted in the Super Duty & v10 forums every May.

I wouldn't waste any more time looking for one, order it.

order is a good idea, but I find getting one off lot the dealers are more willing to deal. I like invoice and I get incentives. The get the hold back money. Guess it could work on order, but how do you figure incentive when its sometime in future, or will date of order incentives be the ones used?

When I ordered mine, my dealer told me they'd give me whatever incentives were better at the time I ordered or the time I actually bought it. They'd lock me in on whichever was better when the truck got in. Every dealer is different though but that's what mine offered me.

Are you doing this again this year? I couldnt find a thread for 2015. I would love to come run this. Thanks

I didn't do one in 2015 but plan on doing on this year. In fact I was getting ready to post info in the next in this weekend.

Sweet. What city? I live south of detroit but would love to see how my 09 350 cclb v10 would do. 91 octane 5star tune

Mike is an excellent host! Definitely worth going to! Depending on what the weekend looks like, I may go again too!

I'm hoping to make it this year, but we'll have to see what my summer looks like. My daughter is lining up for a couple of big surgeries, and depending on timing I may not be able to take off for that long.
