dogman- i think that you need to look at getting a different mechanic before you buy a new truck. dp
The truck is running great now, BUT I cant trust that the truck will not crap out again. It has cost me 15K+ in 4 head jobs, two blocks not counting the 8 trips to GA and back in less then a year, plus the lost time and sales at work. That little bird is still going you need to cut your losts and move on to another truck.

Read'n yer posts here that last year or so, I can surly see why you've lost faith in the 04.
Congrats on the 08 guy

No after reading and talking to a friend that has a F450 and the dealer having to put in a new motor. I changed my mind on the 450. What I found out is that there is a problems with the bottem end of the 6.4 does not like high rpm that the high gearing the 450 and 550 have like the 5.33 gears.

So you got a 350? Give us details.
FYI, regarding getting an '11 over an '08-'10, I've heard many great things about the new 6.7 engine and that Ford has "gotten it right" when it comes to a great towing engine that gets good mileage when not towing. Yesterday I made a trip to get my mom in Louisiana (approximately 600 miles round trip), and seemed to see as many '11s on the highway as '08-'10s. Of course that big old '11 grille is easy to spot too.
Well I got a 08,f250,CC, SB,4x4,load prety good. I had to leave the tire and rims and the sound system. I'll pick it up tomorrow
I'll get pics later.
