I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone on this forum. I just bought my 07 MC 2500 CTD 6.7/68fre yesterday and wanted to share a few pic's with everyone. I got a deal I couldn't pass up, based on the limited availability of the 6.7 in the San Francisco Bay Area with $11k off MSRP. I look forward to everyone experience with CTD, as my previous experience has been with the Ford PWR Stroke.

 

WELCOME TO DTR!
thanks for crossing over from the dark side.
you'll love that truck and start reading.

 

You will like this truck, the 6.7 is a beautiful engine and the 68rfe is a great tranny

Welcome to the forum

 

Nice truck. Welcome to DTR.

I hope you have a small commuter car for the bay area, atleast parking anyways. I always had one heck of a time parking my rig around the Fishermans Warf area. Every spot is a compact spot, us big guys get no love.

I sure as heck couldn't fit into the parking garage. lol

 

Welcome to the site, and congrats on the new purchase. I think the 6.7 will have just a solid of a run as the 5.9.

 

I thought first genners were on the dark side!

 

My wife drives a MB R500, so that's what we take when we go out to San Francisco. I live in the central valley so everyone out here drives big suv's and pick-ups.

 

I just took the truck out for a 100 mile drive with my wife and four children, and they love it. The wife loves the spacious room and the ride isn't too bad for her.

 

Now once you get past your 500 mile to let diff gears to mesh go ahead and load a half ton or more weight in the bed and drive it for at least 24 hrs non stop except for fuel to help break in your engine some. I learned to do this to a diesel engine when I drove OTR years ago and I did the same on my new truck and I now have a truck that will get 20+ mpg on the Hwy. I had about 2000 lbs in it on Saturday when I took it for a 381.4 mile drive to clean out the winter carbon and only used 19 gallons of fuel. Oh I did use 16 oz of Lucas to make sure I got the injectors real clean so that may of helped the mileage some Anyway enjoy your new Toy

 

i quit counting the undervalved people. sorry,couldnt resist since you brought it up!
