2005. I really like the 2006+ towing mirrors from the trucks I test drove, so I think for my first mod I'm gonna buy a set and swap 'em out.

Ok, good. Now we have another LLY in the bunch (along w/ Brian's) that we can start getting tunes for.
I love my mirrors on the 07.
if you find a good deal on mirrors let me know
and ed i do need a tune
Mirrors are $300ish on eBay(cheaper if you don't get ones with the turn signal). Think I could get close on to that on eBay for my factory power extending ones.

I really like the 06 towing mirrors. I really like your wheels
I see around 17-18 mpg driving back and forth to work.

no the issue has probably been fixed. I think that mine is original and I haven't had any problems with ti

Other than the stickers being a little wrinkled from getting wet, my transfer case looks like somebody just pulled it off the shelf and installed it.
Gonna go by the dealer tomorrow and get them to do a VIN check so I can see when the case was installed and if it's had any other work done.

Nice write up on a chevy/ford showdown.

I read that article yesterday and was thinking about posting it, but didn't want to join in the diesel douchebaggery WW3 that might have flared up from posting the article. I do like how they mentioned why they didn't test the Dodge as well.

Haha. I figured it would have rattled the birds from the bushes more, but oh well.
That's a pretty good read. I don't normally read truck tests, but from the few I have, I don't remember any real world scenarios like that.
SHUT UP AND WHEEL
What's the expected realworld (ie what you all have gotten not what fags on the interweb says ) mileage hwy/city of a 2002 7.3 ford.
Im looking at a 02 ext cab long bed 2wd with around 90k on it.
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
I had a 1999 Death-250 with the 7.3 and the ZF 6 speed, 4x4 and got about 16 mpg with no difference on the highway or city. When towinf the Klogger on the highway I got about 14 to 15 depending on hills. When I towed Mike's gooseneck (which I am convinced had dead fat hookers packed in it), I went down to 11. This was also going out to the original Katemcy and doing 90.
