Very nice truck, congratulations!!!
 
That is a sweet ride.

I have a 04 with 173,000 miles. Getting 21 mpg at 70
 
Its an 07 and boy is he a sweet ride, I call it a him then Shane does not wanna ride it lol. Its like there is no trailer behind our 02 GMC 1500 struggles and get 8mpg. the only problem is I have a hard time getting in it.
 
If Shane if new to 6.0L engines have him sign up @ www.powerstroke.org he'll get a faste dcuation on the do's and don'ts of owning one.There are a few mods that can save a lot of headaches before they happen.Mine is broke down right now waiting on an oil cooler & egr delete.
They are great trucks just tell him at 8000lbs it's not a deep mud off road truck

Yeah we did alot of research before getting this truck the later 06's and 07's don't have the problems the earlier models did. did you put a programmer on yours? And I already told hi he can play in the mud with his GMC the F250 is just to pretty for all that. (like he is going to listen) You didn't hear it from me but a few weeks ago he got the GMS stuck in the mud and his friend pulled him out with a jeep wrangler. that will break a mans ego...

Yes I run a programmer(edge ez),but that wasn't what caused my problem.Even the 06 and 07's can float a head,have egr cooler & oil cooler failures(the last two caused by the coolant used by Ford).I'm switching mine to an elc ec-1 coolant to fix that problem and adding a coolant filter.
I will have an sct prrgrammer on it after the repairs.It not only has programs,but will read engine codes as well.I'm also looking into gauges something I didn't have before.

I stuck my f250 about 300ft into a cotton field and had to be pulled out by a tractor.

A tractor is better than a jeep. but thank you I will pass the info on as I drive it and he maintains it. I love the truck I hope it give us few problems and lasts.
