New truck? Don't you have like only 250,000 miles on your other rig?

New truck looks pretty hardy.

Good Job Chester! I like it! I had a 99 (RIP) dually 4 door for awhile, -same set up,, but it had the 7.3L (not sure if yours does?).- I rear ended someone on the e-way and then met the barrier wall. My fault/ traffic was stopped/wasn't paying attention (everyone okay). After all that, I drove her home (still able) and the insurance adjuster totalled her out a few days later.

Anyway, that ones nice! - Sure miss mine

Get some tow mirrors, looks a lil goofy with the sport mirrors.

Thanks for the kind comments guys! Yeah, it's a V10. It was a big problem finding a "F350 dually supercrew V10". In fact, I only found one in the whole country in California.

...I was thinking about the towing mirrors, but I bet they cost a fortune from the stealership.

Nope. I wanted it that way. I don't care for the powerstroke.

I'll post a pic of the 20ft burnout it did yesterday. (tires are original and dryrotted) I couldn't believe a dually truck will do that. I think it has 4.30 gears! It's relatively quick, but it will only do 96.5 top speed. It's gryphon time!

Just a quick question... I was thinking about putting on BFG all-terrains. Reckon what's the widest tire I can run without the rears hitting or the front scrubbing? I don't want to space them out much if any, cause it throws mud allover the truck. Any advice would be appreciated.
