New Steed for the Granby

[Barko1]

Ok I stole the thread title. This little camper now has led me to buying a new truck. I've been using my existing F150 with the small 4.6L which works but it really works on the hills and winds downshifting so that at times it's spinning at 4000+, not good. But with the recession, my retirement (401k=101k) I really was resisting but resistence is futile and visiting craigslist I found a F250 7.3L 4x4 longbed locally. Turns out to be 1 owner, his baby, superclean, and will be all mine tomorrow. Now to lift up the fwc and juggle some wiring. Big trip to Alaska in May

Congrats on the new F250! I read on a lot of threads that the 7.3 V8 is a true work horse engine and it gets great gas mileage. Don't forget to post a pic when you get the camper on the truck.

You Bought A What!

You must not read too much of this stuff, you joined Dodge Ville (they bought em' because they're cheap) and you bought a Ford, when the transmission fails, I think I'd keep quiet about it. But if you PM me I can tell you how to fix it.

IT BURNS FUEL

IT BURNS FUEL

But it makes a nice sound while doing it. I'll put a mast and a sail on it to save some fuel.

BTW, how's the Tacoma suspension upgrade coming along?

Alex,
Salty will just tell you to bolt it but as a proud Ford owner we know what he really means
