Gettin pretty slim...

Ford that is, at least at my house. Sorry to say but the old truck was getting too many issues and with the 6.4's economy I had to look elsewhere. Ended up getting a 3500 QCSB Dodge with the 6.7L CTD. To boot the wife traded her Expedition in on an Avenger AWD. Never fear though. I still have that purty green pullin truck. Hopefully you guys will still let me come and hang out once in a while. I would think my time for a Ford will come again.

Haha, the Dodge disease is spreading!!! Those 6.7L Cummins are some BAADDD engines. My buddy's dad has one and every time he brings it down to school it makes me want one SOOOOOOOOOO bad.......

Just remember.With a Dodge you have to Dodge the potholes. Dodge snow .Dodge the curbs etc. Also dont use ethanol it will cause vapor lock.

Talk about getting slim..........I have some bad news guys......

As of Saturday the '03 Expedition is gone. Got a new GMC Acadia to replace it, in hopes of better MPG's. Sadly enough, a year ago we had all Fords in the stable, now we're down to one. Don't worry guys, the '69 will always be my baby......

I saw the Title and the Author of this thread, and I thought WTF??!! I knew CB wasn't talking about his weight. Now he'll look like everyone else at the pulls. They all roll in with their Ford/Chebby Pulling Trucks and a Dog hooked to the trailer...oh well, times are tough, you gotta do what you gotta do!!
