    Heheheh. The stories I heard about it suggest that you'd almost be better off peddling with your feet.

    Before the switch to ULSD in '07, my '03 F-350 7.3L Powerstroke regularly got 20-21mpg hwy and 17-18 around town. I even got two consecutive tankfulls at 22.5mpg on a long trip. Since the switch, the absolute best I've been able to coax out of the truck is 19mpg, and that was only once. If I'm reasonably careful, I generally get 18-18.5mpg. So, in order to clean the environment, we're supposed to burn more diesel fuel. Gotcha.

    1. Paint rear wheels. 2. Fix/repair/replace brake light valve. 3. Re-install windshield (even though everything is new, it leaks). 4. Find an ash tray for it. 5. Find "Thermodyne" and "B61" badges for it. 6. Install Maxis.

    Wow. $50k. Somebody's got more money than brains, lol.

    We're being fundamentally transformed.

    Sorry for the poor quality, it was taken with my cell phone. DrivingB61.MOV

    I'd like to know how much.

    That's the beauty of communism: force everybody down to the lowest common denominator...and then reward only those you like. Don't think for a minute that 0bama was kidding when he said he was going to "fundamentally transform" America. He and his ilk are doing exactly that.

    Anybody who trusts Hillary is itching to commit suicide with a gun in their off hand and two bullets to the back of the head.

    Hauled ten loads of gravel over the last three days. I love the way this truck pulls. Pics and vids coming soon. Having the Lo-lo off road gear is nice, too.
  11. Wobblin-Goblin
    Bingo.

    I was there around 9:15am and left around 11:30am.
  13. Wobblin-Goblin
    Yes, I was at that show with a transformed 'Mater. "End of the Line" is indeed Yaworski's truck. Pictures don't do it justice. It's a big, beautiful truck.
  14. Wobblin-Goblin
    I'll be going back. Will take pics then.
  15. Wobblin-Goblin
    Saw and sat in "End of the Line," the very last Mack Superliner ever built in the states (1993). Very large, very nice truck. Saw a bunch of other stuff, too.

    The F-35 was never meant to be a dogfighter. It was designed to be a bomb truck and interceptor. We designed the F-22 Raptor to be a dogfighter...and then only bought 187 of them. We'd have been much better off canning the F-35 project years ago and buying more F-22s for air superiority and buying updated F-15s and F-16s for the air force and upgraded F/A-18s for the navy.

    These hp/tq ratings have been stupid for a while now. Four hundred horses? 800...860...900 lb/ft of torque? In a pickup? Sheesh. My '03 F-350 7.3L Powerstroke has 250/525 and it has towed some pretty hefty stuff. I've always thought 325/600 was about perfect.
  18. Wobblin-Goblin
    Not sure off hand, but they are 17s. Those are big tires, btw. They look smallish because the truck is so big (for a pickup).

    My uncle's conversion (1984 GMC 3/4 ton chassis w/6.2L diesel and turbo 350 automatic):

    We could use more lovely surprises like this to click on.

    With a top speed of 51 mph, I won't be driving it anywhere NEAR Macungie. [sad face]
  22. Wobblin-Goblin
    Been driving this Quadbox for a couple months now. Hopefully I can take a video of the shifting and whatnot. I'm not perfect at it, but I've made a lot of progress.

    Putnam, CT.
  24. Wobblin-Goblin
    I would really like to haul locally with it, but as you said, CT wouldn't allow me to load it adequately. It's got 55,000 rears, and the state would only permit me to gross 54,000. This is a 70,000lb truck all day long.

    At the show today....
