400CatDriver,

Informative post, haven't experienced the pulling downfalls. The only thing I tow with it at this point is a tandem two quad trailer with usually one quad on it. If I do get a trailer, I'll throw the quad in the truck and pull a 26 TT. I've been a Ford guy all my life, besides a 69 Chevelle, the only vehicles I've owned were Ford.

I would have gotten Dodge or Chevy, but, I love the looks of the Ford Truck, inside and out. I think the Duramax with Allison and Cummins are excellent combos, but, I don't like the look of Chevy or Dodge. The PSD with its tranny is the weakest of the three IMO, but because I use it more for driving to work and love a big truck, Ford was my pick.

Truth be told, I've always wanted that type of truck and figured I'd better get one before I have one foot in the grave [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Supposedly snowed enough at Dinkey to cover the road completely.

Is Beasore still socked in? Heard it was. Thinking July again this year?

Beasore Rd starts on the north side of Bass Lake Beasore Rd. That road goes way up into the mountains back there.

Little Shuteye. If you change back to MAP you can follow the trail back to Central Camp Rd & Beasore Rd. There's a place called Beasore Meadows where my coworkers cabin is. That's more to the north. And Star Lakes...I can't remember how the heck to find that place. LOL

Does any one in here have any thoughts on a '92 F350 4X4 Crew cab with a 351W in it? Will the 351 have enough power? Any one in here ever have one?
