    Screw that 60k or 100k warranty. That emission shit is what’s killing your vehicle. Delete delete delete… if you can.

    Y’all boys enjoy, I’ll read from now on. It’s still quite entertaining.
    More fuel = more boost!!

    For those saying trade every 100k or before the warranty runs out, that seems equivalent to a self imposed blown motor and tranny expense every couple of years.

I'm at 44K but don't DD it much anymore, with the heavy front service suspension, air bags and camper package plus the BFG Terrain HD's on it, it's not a great ride unloaded. Loaded, it's smooth as you could ask for. If you get one, call 5 Star in Florence and tune it, I run the 87 Daily Tow Tune. The tune smooths out those hard shifts you hear about and takes the pedal lag Ford has in all of it's trucks out. You're welcome to come look at it and drive it if you want. Get the 4.30 rear though, much better than the 3.55 or 3.73. 12-12.5 mpg unloaded overall, less if you're towing or hauling a lot. I ordered this one to do work so, it's set up a bit different than what dealers usually order to keep on the lots.
    I figured a man's man like you would change your own oil and rotate your own tires.
    The biggest thing that truck hauls around is your inflated ego.

    I own a 2109 F-250 diesel. I don't NEED a diesel, at all, but I got a deal on it and it's been great. The TP sensors are doodoo, other than that I have no complaints.

    Also, the next truck I buy WON'T be a diesel. If I were dead set on a GM, it would be an AT4 with the 6.2 and I would drive it straight from the lot to Kevin's to have all GM's BS deleted off of it.....

    Still mad that I was right on the Noles huh. Everything I told you would happen did happen, right down to toting the worst asswhipping in bowl history, congrats on the record.

    FWIW, no need to change my own oil or rotate the tires when the dealership does it for $68.00, records it and has the records were any warranty claims needed.

    Maybe grow a thicker skin and not take things so personal.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Boy I love driving a diesel with no emissions bullshit on it.

    Fact is diesel fuel has more energy vs gas.
