Here is our tow truck. Little old Samson does a great job hauling around Jeeps and race cars.. 7.3 Turbo Diesel, 6 speed manual tranny, sitting on 295 X 75 X 16s and it is even 4 wheel drive. Man this thing gets better mileage then any rig we own. later...Clint

Hey Clint- I sure hope you checked out that Ford SD thoroughly before you bought it. There's a lot of folks out there selling used trucks that can't be trusted any further than you can throw them. I believe "unscrupulous" would be the term to describe some of them. Also, I hope you didn't buy it from a cowboy. Those guys are tougher on trucks than you would believe possible. If you need a hand draining the sawdust/oil out of the trans, give me a holler. I just hate to see a friend get taken to the cleaners on a used truck deal. 
See ya later. |

Man it cracks me up (in a sad kind of jealous way) that the big ol Ford gets the best mileage. Shouldn't make too much of a difference to you though since you don't do much more than run to the mall and back. |

My dad has that exact same color crew cab longbed. an 01..bought it at the end of 00' going on 6 years and hasn't had one problem with his diesel. I LOVE those trucks...long bed crew cab is all i want....he gets an average of 20+ mpg on the highway. 40,000 miles total on the odometer. Not bad compared to the highway haulers in that same year up for sale now. like clint said....stupid ford |

Hey that's my next (probably) vehicle purchase. I'm shopping the crew and club cab 4X4 F250s and F350s now. Great motor that Powerstroke. Cool that you found a manual tranny! I've heard the Ford 6-speed has pretty good ratios. How do you like them? |
