    Well the truck is doing great. its getting so much better milage than my last 6.0. I have put almost 600 miles on it since i got it and it has averaged 20 mpg on the highway and mid 18s around town. I havent had time to wax it and clean it up really good but here is a pic just after i got it home.

    Got rid of my powerstroke

    I figured I would get on here and give a update. So far the truck is ok. It tows great but the fuel milage isn't that good. I am averaging 13-14mpg on the highway. I can say I miss my 250. And I have been on the look out for a 05-07 with low miles.

    Think tranny is going out

    well ended up having to put the truck in the shop because i noticed oil coming out around all my boots on the boost side. It appears it was my turbo the whole time. Dealer rebuilt it under warranty and so far everything is back to normal.

    Think tranny is going out

    Well I still havn't done anything about the tranny yet. Out here in flat land it dont seem to slip. but this morning when i came to a stop the speedo said 11mph and would pick up as i moved. I wonder if this has anything to do with the tranny going out?

    Think tranny is going out

    I havn't made it up that way yet. might have to wait till it gets warmer. Is that a dmax I see in your picture??? I have to figure out whats going to be the best route. Reman from ford or a built one.

    truck died while driving now wont start

    havn't had a programer on for at least 5k miles. I just drove it some and it seems ok. so hopefully the filters were the fix.
