I knew I'd catch he'll for that...

Don't have any hooked up to boat yet, but have these. 06 LBZ with 68k. Can't wait to yank the boat with it.

After 3 7.3 fords, I defected. Didn't want to deal with the 6.0 garbage, and wasn't ready for 10 mpg with a 6.4. Can't afford a 6.7... Sooooo I was actually looking for a super low miles 7.3 with a zf 6 speed. Problem is they are impossible to find, or they are way way way over market $$$$

I'm a huge fan of a stick, and I despised towing with the ford auto. Decided to give the Allison a go. I figure it's about the closest I can get to a real heavy duty trans without a clutch pedal. I've heard nothing but good things about the LBZ trucks, and so far I'm loving it

They really photoshopped that pic......or the hitch ball is inside the center console! LOL

A friend took the boat out to the photoshoot. I recall I gave him $1000 and I got $500..........later I got a 1099. LOL

No Nort, They are just showing how incredible the brakes on the truck are!

Artie, looks great! Have you fitted the backseat for a carseat yet? Congrats!
