F250 Super Duty 6.4 **NOW WITH A REAL PICTURE**
Not mine (too dark to take a pic now, but just like it)
Took it out for a little break in today...16mpg and I found a little snow up around 1800 ft for Thor and a child to play in for a bit.

Excellent Choice!!! Here's Mine...
Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high, keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky, live like you ain't afraid to die and don't be scared, just enjoy the ride. "The Ride" performed by the very much missed, Chris LeDoux.

Re: OT: Made Up Mind--F250 Super Duty 6.4 Turbo Diesel Ext Cab
I hope you like yours. However I had one and I hated it. I will admit that I bought it used with 5,000 miles on it and sold it with 8,000 miles on it. And I made over $1,000 when I sold it. The trucks are great, it was my usage that turned me against it.
The truck was so long and the turning radius was so short that I could not turn into my own driveway. I had to stop and back up one time to get in my driveway. the Truck actually rode very well, but I could not stand the smell-I like to drive with my windows open. And when stopped in traffic the smell was pretty bad. Also I did not get the extra MPG you are suppose to get, and I bought mine when diesel was less than gas. Then as soon as I bought mine diesel prices raised above gas?? I never did understand that?? Also I do not drive enough miles to justify a diesel. I also did not like the noise. However I will admit I felt like I was on top of the world when I was cruising down the road. You definitely have that "big truck" feeling. Sounds like I am trying to talk myself back into one. Forget about everything I said.
I am looking at another F-250. However it will definitely be a short box. The long box is just too long for me. Tom.

Re: OT: Made Up Mind--F250 Super Duty 6.4 Turbo Diesel Ext Cab
Now that is one serious truck That will do about anything! Keep the rust off it and it should last for decades.Dont know if you need em in Washington but I put one of those anti-rust Anode systems on my new vehicle few months back. There like $600 but supposedly lifetime warranty on rust?? Boy am I jealous! That is one nice ride! Must be Nice!
Re: OT: Made Up Mind--F250 Super Duty 6.4 Turbo Diesel Ext Cab
I screwed up so bad.....I traded a perfectly good F150 two years ago due to unsound thinking about fuel costs and mpg.....A Civic and a CR-V (both wonderful CARS) later, I just couldn't take it any more and needed a truck again.....This should be the retirement truck, it'll be paid off when I'm 65 ( ). Dang, I'm old....but hopefully learned an expensive lesson with this.

Look into some of the various Bio-Diesel kits for home use. You can save quite a bit of money (read no fed/state taxes) with them especially when the price of diesel goes up. A couple guys down the road from me have their own bio-diesel kits that they went in on together. They both really like it.
Good luck with the new truck.

Well bud, looks like you in da high cotton now!
Only slightly shorter than my one ton crew cab. No more turnin on a dime
It will track great on slick roads though and folks will most likely get outttadaway when you are on a roll.
Does it sound like a kid banging on pots and pans for the first minute of run time like my 6.5? Made me nervous for a while but now I just ignore it.
Now all you need is a hunnert gallon fuel tank for the bed so you can actually go somewhere with it
Set up for cold weather? Block and pan heaters n such? Mine does like to be hooked to the electric hitchin post at temps below 10 degrees.
Good luck and dont eat no beans till it is broke in good. Pertects that new truck smell...

My Dad went through a diesel kick in the '80s.
Loved it until we had a January that avereged @ 10 degrees and he had to go out
and plug them in every morning. That took care of the diesels

Re: F250 Super Duty 6.4 **NOW WITH A REAL PICTURE**
JasonB...what I would not give for a +10 degree "cold" snap!!! Minus twenty in the swamp today with minus 35 on it's way. Do not even bother to plug in the big truck. Nice to have for the occasional three day trip to Prudhoe (where I never shut it off) or hauling 55gal drums of fuel to the homestead but other than that is remains in suspended animation for a good part of the winter. It was an old Aleyeska truck with a few hundred thousand Dalton miles on it (and the Good Lord only knows how many "idle time" hours...they start em in the fall and do not shut em down till spring which is usually covers July up there). Probably the best part of the diesel rigs is the ability to run 24/7's and like it. Of course, it explains the hunnert gallon fuel tank mounted in the bed
My best,
Scotty

What's the Thor report? What does he think of his new ride? How does he get in it? Can he open the window on his side yet?BlaineG wrote:98% of it pulls into the carport with no problem and I've never even frosted up at Zero Degrees on the Carport...

Thor burnt his nose on the tailpipe the first time he saw it and remains distrustful, tho he did ride about 300 miles in it yesterday and slept, as is normal for him. He can jump out, but I like to put him in on a towel so he doesn't get mud on everything....Grizz wrote:What's the Thor report? What does he think of his new ride? How does he get in it?
