No video camera for me so sorry .

I still smile EVERY time the wait to start light goes out and that 7.3L of raw diesel power comes to life. High power, high performance, high fuel milage, tows like nothin is there, blows off ricers/little cars (sorry Ford Lariat), will keep me safe in an accident, and basicly one badass truck.

I do kill the tires leaving two tracks from stoplights, but since I only put 20K miles or so on it since '02 as it is my tow rig mostly, the tire might need to be replaced from age before I wear them to the safe limit.

If there is one thing I would change on my next one is to get the six speed. I think auto trannys suck!

The problem with my V-10 is that I have a problem not burning rubber. I blame it on my Whipple Supercharger.

I was up at a friends house yesterday for a Memorial Day weekend party. He lives on a back more or less dead end road. Anyways I had to run in town and I thought "I've never tried to actually power brake this truck". Every other time I've spun its been from a dead stop with no brakes. The factory steeltex tires are REALLY easy to spin. Lets just say you can make a heck of a smoke show and still keep spinning them for almost 200ft past. I'm just glad a couple people there got some pics and a movie of it.

Ever seen a lifted Powerstroke on 38's run an 11-second quarter? Now that is impressive!

You talking about Maddog's lifted 94-97 F350 crew cab?
