Alas....I used to have a 02 F-350 with a 7.3. I loved that truck. She was loaded. Leather...heated seats...beautiful. I defected. Got me a Cummins now [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
But I still like Ford. As long as it's not a 03 with a 6.0L. Not a good year for the Powerstroke IMHO.

LJ, I've been there before[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] Digging the back tires into the sand to lower the back end to make loading quads a little easier[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Your truck should have no problems pulling itself out of the situation[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I did a little TLC on the PSD over the weekend[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Washed her real good and removed the two front wheels to buff them out[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Man, I shouldn't let them go this long with out a good cleaning[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Now to do the back two[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Hello all Ford Truck Owners!!

PS01, I do the bury the 2 back tires in the sand deal too.

My MSD 6A and SS Coil combined with a tune up made a big difference to my F350. It now pulls strong about 1K rpm lower than before. And my mileage went up too.

Everyone have a great 4th of July!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

My oldest son airs down the street tires on his GMC silverado 2wd truck to 8psi and goes any where he wants to. Out into the dunes/sand Hiway at Pismo is not a problem for him. He has even stopped to help out guys in 4wd trucks. Im guessing those guys dont know how to drive.

Been having major computer issues here at the office. Haven't been around...and looks like nobody else has either.

It went from 6/7 to 8/9, not huge but I like the way it pulls from about 1200 rpm now. It was in a serious need of a tune up any way and probubly would have improved by 1 with just new plugs, wire and a cap/rotor. Now i need to install the K&N FIPK and look for some headers. The A/C stuff should get put on this weekend and that will be [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

The good news is the back yard work that I needed to do is now 95% complete and I just need to dig a couple of holes for plants for the wife. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
