Welcome to the club GITRDONE! We like to ramble, but we always seem to get back to the powerstroke.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

wow GITRDONE, that's a monster of a toy hauler!! you must be able to get a lot of toys in there.

I've been busy reno-ing the bathroom, and almost finished last night. just hafta raise the light fixture, and mirror, install baseboards. the new leaky toilet from Home Depot didn't help. just turned on the heat for the floor and it's awesome. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] i'll post some pics soon. it looks good.

hey creator, we're going golfing this Fri & Sat !! it is addictive. i'd golf more if it wasn't for the kids wanting to atv so much!! but it does start to get expensive. especially in your 'hood.

okay, i'm still a little scared of the 6.0. my friend has a 550 flatdeck with that powerplant. he's had a tranny replaced at low mileage which took Ford forever to do (especially when you're holding up a guys livelihood). also, i've heard a few mechanics say there's no substitute for cubic inches when it comes to making power.

 

I'm almost finished with my bathroom, too. I have a couple more days of tile work to do, and I need a hot tub guy to come and fix my tub, but then I'm done (with that project...only 100 more to go). I have a boiler in my home, and wish I would have put that in the floor. I bet u'll like that.

Well, the truck is going to turn 100k this week or next (no more warranty). I'm just debating if I should throw some $$$ into it now (chip, exhaust, gauges, possible another 2" lift), or sell it for a new/newer 6.0 liter.

I get killer discounts through my work (7-10K off new ford products), but even with the rebate, I'm not too keen about a $650-700 a month truck payment. I pay a grand now a month for the truck and the jeep. Luckily, my ATV trailer, 5th wheel, and ATV's are paid for.

 

after 8 years, this was my 100th project, and i'm done!

keep the 7.3, and save your hard earned cash. better the devil ya know than the one you don't.

 

Hey, I see that Skinner's favorite singer was aquitted. I bet his favorite MJ song is Just Beat It.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

No replacement for displacement!

7.3 for LIFE!

 

That's why I golf when I'm out of town[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Went again today[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] and paid $22.00 hard earned bucks for a bucket of ***** at the range, 18 holes of golf, and the cart[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] So cheap you can't pass it up. Better than sitting in a hotel doing emails........[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

WW, keep the truck a while longer. You're warranty is up, so you are at about equal to 36K miles on a car. They go for 100K. You should be good to 300K if you keep on top of it. Sock money away in a savings account towards a new[er] truck down the line.

Anyone know about the roumered 6.6L Twin Turbo PSD in a couple years?

The problem with big displacement motors is getting the emissions down. Tech. advancements will allow us to get back up there, but it might take a few years. Be interesting how well a V10 or 12 diesel would sell. Get the displacement up, but a smaller cyllinder which helps with emissions.

Never played golf...just miniature golf. LOL

wow, great price. we get hammered here on greens fees. average full-size (par 72) course is about $45-50 weekday. weekends are more. I play the cheapest course around, we play early-bird (which is discounted) and during the week it's $35 (tax-in). there's a really nice course just outta Seattle called Kyack. they charge $29 and it includes brekky, lunch, golf, and cart.

 

Yeh, In SD the fees are crazy. These courses are in the middle of nowhere. It's pretty cool to pull up, pay, walk up and tee off. Playing by yourself (not with you nutz) goes pretty quickly. 18 holes in about 2.5 hours[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
