Last week I went on vacation for hunting season here in Oregon. Its about a 360 mile trek to where we were camping, and my '88 F250 was packing a pretty good load. First off, my truck has a 4.9L, and a ZF 5-speed. Oh, and a 3.55 rear end. Its got 165,000 miles on the ticker.

My truck had my dirtbike, my girlfriend's quad, tools, 3 full 5-gallon gas cans, and some other misc. camping crap in the bed. The travel trailer I was towing is a 24' Prowler. When I drove across a weigh scale, the truck was 6900. That seemed a little much to me, but I'm sure the trailer tounge weight maybe affects that number a little? The trailer itself was 5500lbs.

I was able to zip along with no trouble at 60mph everywhere on the two-lane, except a few real steep hills. Once I hit the interstate, I ripped up to 65mph and held it there with no trouble.

For an ol' six-banger, I'm happy!

 

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAULED 3 FIVE GALLON GAS CANS!!!!!?????????????? HOW COULD YOUR "6 POPPER" TRUCK DO THAT? OH MY GOSH!!! I TRIED THAT WITH MY 460 V-8, AND IT WOULDNT DO THAT!!! YOU ARE LUCKY!!!!!!

 

Why insist on being a dumba$$? Seems like everywhere you go, theres always "that guy"....


Get lost piper

 

if you dont like it, the you are the one that should "get lost"

 

Hey piper, is that how you make yourself feel good about yourself?

 

No. I was just lauging at the fact that the Mr. Six Popper can haul 3 full 5 gallon gas tanks. isnt he special?

 

I was just wandering, is your truck an f150 or an f250? I didn't think you could get a six in a 3/4 ton truck in 1988. I Thought by then a 302 or 351 was standard equipment.

 

THE GUY CLEARLY STATED THAT HIS TRUCK WAS A 88 F-250!!! i believe you should pay better atttention the first time!!!

 

KAS300- man I gotta get some 3.55 gears. My truck only goes 60, it don't matter if it's empty or pulling a house it'll go 60. I really like my 300, prolly the best truck engine going.

 

Hey piperc, stop being an a$$ and mind your own business. I know he said his truck was an f250, I just didn't know you could get one with a six.

 

well you can, so there! our 66 f250 has an I6, and 240 cu in. i think you are the one that should get lost if you dont like my "smart" comments, so get lost you silly stuck up crab!

 

You know, considering there is TWENTY-TWO YEARS diiference in your model truck and his, don't you think the options list could have changed a little? I thought any wise a$$ like you would have thought about that. Any way, still waiting to hear from you KAS300 to settle this stupid a$$ arguement.

 

You know, its fools like you that really stink up good things like this. Why don't you don't you do us all a favor, and go trash up somebody else's forum. Its morons like you that take all the fun out of everything.

 

What the hell? This isn't even your thread! I was just trying to ask this guy a legitimate question and you had to butt in with your idiotic comments. I think you are the one who should leave. I haven't seen where you have made any constructive comments. If you want to write all of the stupid crap you put on here, start your own thread and put it on there. Otherwise, leave threads like these to people who have serious comments to post in regards to the question being asked or statement that is written.

 

TEnd to be the guys who don't have the cajones to talk like that to other guys face to face in real life, so the net is the only place where they get to talk like they're badasses.
