Real truck drivers use their mirrors!:drink:

Yep they do. And the camera in the tailgate is useless when trying to hook up the 5th wheel trailer and the mirrors don't show that part either. Yes, I as Jay's wife, still have a hard time after 15yrs of backing the trailer down to the ramp, but I do eventually get it done lol.

7.3 ford, 05 and up duramax, or cummins, thats the best out there, i personally like the duramax because of the allison tranny, but i have friend that own the dodge and love them, i just purchased an 2008 ltz 3500 chevy with 102000 miles for 27k, i took the dpf filter and put mbrp and gained 6miles more to the gallon, i just sold a 2500 duramax with 232kg, and bought my later model and love it. good luck with your find!

Ok I'll say it, get a 07 ford. Should be able to get it for a good price with engine warranty still. Take it immediately to the dealer and have arp head studs put in. Tell the dealer that coolant is leaking from the coolant reservoir and they will eat the labor under warranty. If you make friends with the tech he could back door the erg delete while it is apart. I did this with my 06 and been very happy with it. Also before 08 there is no black box and no Dpf to worry a out.

You would have a hard time finding an 07 under powertrain still. Seeing as how extended warranties dont transfer. Your looking at four solid years with maybe one year left, and dont forget the ford warranty on that year was only to 60k mi

I have a 91 fountain with full fuel and steel trailer I beleive it weighs in at about 10500, realistically i never have full fuel so I think ill be more in the low ten high 9 range. I am really thinking about getting that new ecoboost. which can do 11,300. This diesel is killing me with its dont matter what MPG of 13mpg. with 11 towing. Everything I have seen the ecoboost will only get about 8-9 towing which ill loose maybe 1-2mpg towing but ill gain 5-10mpg on everyday driving, not to mention diesel is almost 50 cents more per gallon so will probably make the ecoboost even during towing cost wise but will save me big on everyday driving. Any issues or knowledge of this?

I did a computation of fuel and fluid cost for one year based on 10k and the ecoboost would save me at least 1500. Im not saying that ecoboost will out tow my truck now, it wont but majority of my boat is an hour away tops and face it summer is 3 months long here, and assuming I hit every weekend Im talking maybe 12 times. The other 353 days out of the year its daily driving with maybe pulling the snowmobile.

Shamless plug but my diesel is an 08 F250 turbo diesel, long bed super cab 4wd off road package, XLT. clean truck, 22k on it. bumper to bumper is an effect for another 14k and 10 months and powertrain is in effect for another 40k and 2.5 years. PM if your interested.

Trust me, good tune for power and stopping regen and dpf delete and the 6.4 run's awesome. 20 mpg on the highway, 15-16 city. 6.4's fly with a tune too lol

If they were smart they would have put the back up camera on the cab and one on the rear bumber,then they should have had a button to push for which camera you wanted to look through..:coolcowboy:

just a quicky on backing up with a trailer,,instead of putting your hand at the top of the steering wheel put your hand at the bottom..If you want the trailer to go in the direction your backing up turn the steering wheel in that direction..
I showed this to my X g-friend and turned her loose in a sams parking lot with the trailer on back after it closed..:drink: now she is a pro!

I know they do, buddy has spartan. But your investing 2k to get all that stuff, and then you just wiped your powertrain warranty.

That would be ideal with 2 cameras and a switch button! I will have to try the bottom of the steering wheel as I have not tried that yet. I think that with us using the radios and him guiding me sometimes helps and sometimes makes it more difficult because he says turn this way, then more and then not that much lol. Thanks!
To the OP good luck in your search!

Ford F450.....
 

Heck with the way these illegal truckers are killings us legal ones, I'm thinking about selling or trading my F450 for a smaller rig. Love the truck and it's been perfect, but need better MPG to compete. Take a look at BisbeesMarine.com where you can see some pics. 2001 F450, 6 speed manual with ZF gear box, 4:88 rear, custom bed, 5" exhaust from turbo, comp programer, cold air induction...nice rig and it all works like it should. Any interest please let me know. Just thinking about it but saw your post and thought I'd pipe in.
Thanks,
Capt. Bob

That has Joew name all over it :coolcowboy:
