Nice I wish I could get away with that and I am suprised how easy it was to get the ok to start looking for another truck I wonder what my wife has up her sleeve that she isnt telling me about. Now I am worried

 

yeah I told mine I was looking for a F-350 regular cab 2 wheel drive with a 5.4 and a manual first thing she told me was NO it has to be 4 wheel drive, have crew cab and an auto,

plus she wants another V-10 due to the quietness and lack of smoke

 

I'm with her on that!

 

My wife doesnt mind the noise and even pulling a hill at 2800 RPM with the 5er behind the truck we can have a normal conversation and mine only puffs a little smoke when I have a heavy load on it.

 

as everyone knows I'm a 7.3 fan, my old '96 would smoke like a tire fire



I think a procharged or turbo'd 6.8 would still pull just fine on the hills

 

But you only have smoke from 6 cylinders.

 

Mine did roll some coal last week with the bad injectors and the trailer behind it. I can imagine your old 7.3 would roll some serious coal. You are probably right about a charged 6.8 being able to do hill like a diesel.

 

No the two bad injectors at the end would over fuel occasionaly and cause the smoke.

 

I was counting those. I figured there were at least 2 others that were dead.

 

Nope just those two and dont go jinxing me now dang it!!!!

 

No one has to jinx you, that's a 6.0.

 

just felt the need to post in this thread.... wuz happenen

 

Not much. Just getting ready to close out the work week.

 

I am gonna be looking for you if something goes bang now!!!

 

Im outta here!
