Well I watched my 06 pull out of the driveway tonight. Life circumstances change and I no longer need to spend money on a truck like this, so hopefully the next owner will put it to good use.

I will be hanging around here from time to time. My plan is to take some cash and get an older crewcab Ford, and hopefully do a 12 valve swap someday. I am sure I will find this forum as useful for the 12 valve as it was for the 3rd generation.

Thanks to everyone for the information I gained over the last couple of years!

 

Dang,

Sorry to hear that...

 

Hate to hear that but you do what you gotta do some times even if it is not what you "want" to do.

 

Yea, it tough. Trying to hang on to mine. It will probably be the last full size truck the I, or my kid for that matter, ever own.

 

Congratulations! I wish I could afford to get rid of mine.

 

Me too.....

 

Sorry to hear of your misfortune but coincidentally,there's a 12-valve equipped Ford F-350 crewcab here in San Diego that flat out hauls tail. I always loved the square Fords w/wind wings. Good luck.

 

Thanks guys. For me it was purely a wants versus needs thing at this point. Fortunately the economy here is still booming compared to the rest of the country so I came out of the deal ok. I wouldn't call it a misfortune, more like a change in direction.

I am a Ford guy at heart, but have really grown to like the Cummins. So someday I would like to marry the two and live happily ever after!

 

Sorry to hear that. What did you buy to replace it?

 

Nothing yet. I have two '79 Fords that I will drive until I get the itch to buy another truck.

 

If you must have a ford then these guys can help, http://www.fordcummins.com/

I will say my first truck was a ford, the one previous to this one was a ford and I have never had a gm truck.

 

hey like said above you gotta do what you gotta do. im thankful at the moment because my truck is pretty much pointless to own really I dont drive it much and dont use it for work its just a hobby I guess so Im glad to still have it and trying to hold on as long as I can. when the market isnt so soft I may get rid of it even though I dont want to
