I finally bought a real truck

[fitforspeed]

Man that is a nice looking truck, topper makes more usable and gives a good look too. Wheels, tires, stance, color, man I do like it!

Nice truck. Looks clean. After owning 2 of these for roughly 300k miles don't be afraid of 'em. Good filters,fluids, maintenance and a monitor it's going to be a great truck.

Keep the tunes off of it unless you bulletproof it.

Gorgeous truck though. My '05 CCLB FX4 5.4 (pig) was the same color.

Very cool and those wheels are tits.

BTW: Did you ever find a Bullitt?

Thanks! I did find one. I made an arrangement with a guy in Phoenix. We are flying down to pick it up and drive it home on 4/22. We are making a vacation/road trip out of it. We are both looking forward to it. I've never been to Az, the Grand Canyon, or Vegas, so we get to check out all three.

Both gutless pigs. Would not own.




OP gorgeous truck! If it was me, i'd spend the $2500 and bulletproof it. Never have to worry about it again.

The 6.0 is a bad ass motor and takes WELL to tuning once bulletproofed. The trans will take over 500whp (over 1000 tq) all day too which is an added bonus.

Thank you. I spent a lot of time reading into the 6.0. They received a horrible reputation due to their short comings and people are afraid of them. It is really easy to make them reliable. I'm going to drive it the way it is and go through the whole thing if/when it gives up. With the Coolant changed out and the EGR turned off it should withstand everything I intend to throw at it. I religiously keep my eye on EGT, EOT, ECT, FICM voltage, and Fuel pressure. I have a 40hp FICM tune and a IDP street tune so it should be at about 400rwhp and 700 rwtq right now.

Never seen a Single cab fx4 much less in a F350. Can't be the smoothest riding rig......

Enjoy that truck, I agree that you are better off without all the electronics. Simple is so much easier to repair !

That truck looks great. I could do without the lift for my use, but you got yourself a winner right there. Is it auto or manual?

Great looking truck! Straight pipe it! Can't beat that 6.0 whistle!

Surprisingly not bad. 05-16 all share the same front suspension so they handle pretty well. The canopy puts just enough preload on the rear to keep it from being too stiff.

Thanks. Wasn't too excited about the lift at first either but it has grown on me. It's a 5R110 auto
