It's been 9 years and 100,000 miles for the old logging truck from Oregon. She's working hard with 332,000 miles on the clock. The body is mostly original. Just about everything except the frame, axles and transfer case have been rebuilt or replaced by now. She is the definition of "rough around the edges" but still gets the job done and gets her fair share of compliments too.

I need a turbo. I caught your post on facebook about averaging 18mpg on your 260 trips to work and back. I'm getting about 13-14 average.

Need a new IP when funds/time allow too...

I'm not running a turbo and thats about what I average at my elevation. I think that your tuning and fuel system efficiency has the most to do with mpg

I used to have a Ford 555D backhoe and never dreamed of towing it with a pick-up. You must have a stout engine! Congrats on the milestone.

That's crazy. I moved one thing that heavy with a srw and wouldn't do it again haha. (Didn't get a pic of it chained down or after I put air in the tire) I moved it about a mile just to test the trailer and truck with that weight. Trailer was 7500 I think the truck was around 14k

Wow.Your next truck should be at least an F-Superduty/F-450
I haven't been towing heavy with the crew cab since I put this on the road. I picked up an F-Superduty as well, I think it needs a head gasket and haven't had time to allocate to it.
