    It is definately gonna get some bigger tires just as soon as these wear out! I am thinking some LT315/70/ R17's 10 Ply and maybe some new wheels at that time as well. I want to do limo tint on the back doors and 35% on the front with an eyebrow for the wind sheild, as for the exhaust I am looking into a turbo back 4" stainless with duals after the cat. Do they make HFC's for diesels?

My sales guy said he had one more he wanted me to see...... it was an 06 Powerstroke CCSB FX4 with 26,000 miles. I saiad I did not want a Ford, but I would test drive it. Well it was great, but I did not tell him that lol. He then proceeded to tell me I could buy it for 23K, I'm sorry but I just could not pass it up. I have some pics if you want to see them, but I will also understand if you don't. Chris

    That is a nice truck, I used to have an 04 with the 6 liter. Keep the fuel filter changed pretty often, or you will be buying lots of injectors.

    True, true. Keep the filter changed like every oil change! No joke. The 2006 6.0L is better than the 2003 6.0L. The early 6.0L (2003-2005) had major problems. Ford and Navistar worked all of the bugs out by the 2006-2007 model years. But still, keep the simple maintenance up on those things--cause if you don't, you'll have major problems.

    Get some bigger tires, exhaust, CAI, Quadzilla programmer, and tint!
