If money is not an issue maybe a trade-in for a 2009 with more power and a 6 speed transmission would work for ya.

If I went that way..........it would be a PowerStroke not another gas burner.

Diesels don’t have exhaust systems, they have chimneys! However they do make good power for pulling, no doubt about that.

I know that for a fact. I have owned 3 PowerStrokes through the years and I should have known I wouldn't be satsified going back to a gas burner. I just couldn't stomach spending $4.70/gal for diesel. Hind sight is 20/20.

With an SC you have to run Super which at times has been close to Diesel. I remember when it use to be cheaper than Regular. I guess the popularity of Diesel caused it to go up it price. I just don't like the sound of the engine compared to Gas, at least, not until the turbo kicks in.

Well..............I couldn't stand it any longer. I have a Magna Charger ordered for my truck. It should be in next week and hopefully installed next weekend.
I can't wait to see how this thing runs after the install.

That's not a boat. In the south we call that a party barge.

its not the popularity of diesel, its cleaning all the sulfur and other pollutants out of the fuel. in 07 they changed from low sulfur to, ultra low sulfur.

Ever notice that no matter what they do to fuel it always cost more? If they added water to it they would charge us more!

The SC is installed, but still having some tuning issues. We have been working with MagnaCharger on tunes............and so far their tuning pretty much sucks! It's almost like they are guessing on the right tune.
It's looking like I will be making a trip to Dallas in the next week or two to have it tuned properly on a dyno. My dealers tuner software only goes through 2007 Ford trucks.
