He got it because diesel was way more than gas at that time and he expected it to be like my 150 with the 5.4.

He never even drove one before he custom ordered it from his buddy, he just thought that the diesel would be too loud and nasty with black smoke without even seeing it.

Basically after he drove it off the lot he was pissed, I don't think he was also considering towing a boat or trailer when he bought it either.

Just a dumb purchase by him

The smart money would say your old man just keeps his current ride and lives with its shortcomings as they are. However, from what you've said so far, it doesn't sound like your old man is exactly into the smart money thing.....

He should have ordered it with the V-10. It's a gas hog but not really much worse than a 5.4 in that bigass truck.

Wow, that sucks then. I still think the 5.4 should only be an option on reg cab long bed SDs because of how heavy they get with the bigger cabs.
