Christmas present for myself

[fiend]

Well my wife and I were buying her a new car and while we were at the lot I ended up getting a new to me truck. It's an 08 king ranch f250. I know quite a few of you guys have an f250 so are there any forums for these trucks that have an atmosphere like the oRg?

I haven't picked it up yet Because they are doing a bedliner and touching up a couple of the scuffs that the paint had in it. Should be done by Friday. I'm going to try my hardest not to mod this one haha. Hopefully I can leave it alone for a while.

I was wondering how long it would take someone to notice that haha. That was a pic I took out on the test drive.

Brandon, look at powerstroke.org. Just like here but for ford trucks. Aussiekeeper turned me on to that site. You have the new engine in yours, I had the 6.0 in my 07. Very nice truck bro.

keep a close eye on the turbos if its a powerstroke

Nice truck!! But I too am a Dodge owner!! Seriously though, keep an eye on the turbo!! My brother has already had 2 put on his truck, and it doesnt have but 65,000 miles on it!!

its something about the second generation superdutys, (08-10) with the 6.4 powerstroke, the turbos are notorious for failing.... i picked up a used 08 in october of 08 with about 45000 km on it and the turbos had crapped out before it hit 50000, so i went back to the dealer, cuz it had not yet been 30 days and there was still warranty on it, but i exchanged it for a 2007 lariat f150 with about the same km on it for 5000 less, happy with the trade considering the 250 was a base model... happy with the truck, but still sometimes wish i had a heavy duty

Congrats on the new truck!

 

[GsxrBots]

Don't worry about the turbos, the Dodge guys are just jealous 'cause the Tranny's are more expensive than the turbos!

Nice truck! Love me a King Ranch!

 

[BigBadDodge]

Well I got to pick it up tonight and drive a whole 2 miles into work. so far so good. I needed something that could get better mileage towing than my half ton did. I plan on making a few longer trips to go race this year and caught a hell of a deal on this truck that I couldn't pass up. I've wanted one for a while but couldn't justify the cost.

For now it will stay stock. I'm not sure how long "now" is but I still have some stuff to do to the bike to get it ready for this season so it might be a while. It has everything I would want except for remote start but the heated seats make up for that.

I'm also saving $100 a month from my previous truck payment but plan on paying the same amount to pay it off earlier.
