Update on my F250

Alot changed recently.... Had the itch for something different and ended up selling the 6.0 and getting my self into a 13 F250. Found a great deal on a remaining 13 new XLT premium and it had all the options i wanted except the upfitters (correcting that this week).

Already had it muddy and used both the locker and 4x4 and they work great and found out it unlocks over 25mph. Added tint, ford remote access, weathertechs and carhartt seat covers.

Sweet truck, did you sell the 6.0 outright or trade it in?

Thanks guys. Sold it outright, no dealer cares for motor work plus there wasnt enough lube in the world to trade it in for what they offered.

I like them a lot. They fit pretty well justneed to get them broke in and adjusted right. Also match color well.

It's actually the other way around. The 6.0 had a good 150hp advantage at the wheels vs the 6.7 at the flywheel. Can't beat the mileag though so far.

What kind of mileage are you seeing with that 6.7?

Really that's weird

We have an 05 and 07 F-450 ambulance and also a 10 and the 10 just spanks the pants off the others

Keep in mind these rigs are rolling around at over 16,000 lbs

It was not stock by any means. Heavily modified almost all motor parts except the bottom end. Was pushing 550 at the wheels
