The boss let me borrow one of the trucks today to go run some errands. Some girls were smiling at me and checking out the truck, so I rolled a fair amount of coal and drove off.
 
I'm currently truck shopping (the 96 is old and tired and doesn't like starting in cold weather so its far from ideal for montana)

looking at f250s and f350s of course, preferably a stick shift and if I can find any 7.3Ls I'll be a happy puppy. Although the 08's and newer are pretty great trucks if you pull that stupid exhaust off, put a straight pipe on and chip them. So that's an option as well considering there aren't emissions tests up here GOD BLESS AMERICA

Thats sad to hear your 96 is getting tired. It has trouble starting even plugged in to the house? I just replaced the transmission in my 97 7.3L. I am having a hard time deciding if I will part with it. My dad has had some issues with is 06 f350 but loves it now that his warranty is up and has since chipped it. Good luck searching miss

Yea even we we plug it in, the cold weather just kills her. She starts fine in the summer though. Its sad but a well deserved retirement. My dad is gonna keep her around for hauling but I need a new rig. If I get a diesel (also looking at f150's so gas might be a thing) its def gonna be modified. I know the 6.0L tends to have injector issues but you can circumvent that with some work. I'm dead set on a ford though. Dodges are nice but I know Fords way better. I'll never buy a gmc or chevy though.

i guess i am but i own a trucking business and use it to haul big trailers filled with just about everything and need a big truck

Can you only haul normal hitch trailers? I feel like that lift would make a bed hitch useless

Make sure you let the 6.0 warm up for a long ass time in the cold

Oh for sure. Any truck I get will be warming up for a solid 20 min before driving on those bitter mornings. I found a niiice 02 f350 with a 7.3 crew cab long bed that I'm gonna go check out
 
Since this has turned into a thread about trucks, I might as well leave this here.
