    Joke of the day

    The Prescription A lady went into the pharmacy, walked up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said, I would like to buy some cyanide. The pharmacist asked, "Why?" The lady replied, I need it to poison my husband. The pharmacist said 'Lord have mercy! that's against the law...

    Texas Wildfires

    Are any of you guys near the wildfires in the Texas Hill Country? I've got a cousin who lives near Bastrop and the fires came within 1/2 mile of his house. Lets all hope and pray that we get some rain soon to put out the fires, make our grass green, and start filling up the lakes.

    Need a lot of prayers

    I am so sorry to hear about this. My prayers are with you and your family. It's been said that God needs souls of all ages in Heaven, but we still wonder why He has to take someone so young.

    rant Fusion got Bumped

    Speaking of not "bending anything in years & years", my dad's first car, a 1951 Ford is still sitting behind my mom's house in Louisiana, in the same spot for the last 45 years. Until a year or so ago, the only dent was a quarter size spot in the left front fender where he slid into a ditch...

    The Edge is a nice vehicle!!!! You'll really enjoy it. I saw a new '11 Explorer on the showroom floor recently that had a sticker price of over $40K!!! Of course it was with all the "bells and whistles".

    I hear ya!!!! Some of the guys on here will tell you to "drive it like you stole it" to help break in the engine (true for all diesels).

    Fuel mileage?

    X2!! Now if Ford would put a diesel in a 150, you might see 30 mpg. Some people are getting 25+ mpg with the EcoBoost V-6, so it could be possible, if they'd "wise up" and build it.

    Ford vs Chevy Deathmatch

    Also appears that the lift kit wasn't done too well either. Hope the guy in the Chevy was okay.

    Batten Down The Hatches

    Rich, hopefully you all didn't get much more than lots of rain and high winds. Looks like Irene is leaving the US and headed toward Canada, then open (and cooler) waters.

    Welcome aboard!!!! I believe I'd rather have the manual transfer case also, although it seems that the manual transfer cases, along with manual transmissions are slowly going the way of the dinosaur and the dodo bird.

    Fuel mileage?

    That's really good. What were your RPM's at 74? Possibly keeping the cruise at 70 and/or not over 2000 RPM's will probably push that over 20. Of course, as the engine gets "broken in" more, the numbers will also improve.

    2011 seats in an 07

    You probably need to measure the seats to compare them.

    Batten Down The Hatches

    Hope all of you on the east coast are getting prepared for Hurricane Irene. Looks like she's turning into a pretty mean old gal pretty fast. I've even heard she might go up the cost and hit Long Island New York. Hang in there folks!!! To be honest, I wish the storm was headed toward Texas so...

    Various Super Duties On The Road

    Yes, the F150 will now tow more than the older F-250's with all the new engines and technology. I saw a couple of F-150's with some pretty big fifth wheel/gooseneck trailers behind them. I also saw another F-150 pulling a bumper pull trailer with a triple axle on it. It looked like it was...

    Various Super Duties On The Road

    Yesterday I went to my mom's house in Louisiana (600 mile round trip), and on the way back on I-20 near Shreveport, I thought I'd do a mental count of the various Super Duties I saw in the opposite lanes. I separated them into three categories: 99-07, 08-10, and 2011 (because of the fender...

    new truck new member. mileage question?

    Welcome aboard. Regarding mileage, the 02 7.3 that I had would consistently get 15-16 mpg in my local driving (city/highway combined), on the road (no towing), it would get 19-21. I found that (also as Big Joe said), I got the best mileage by keeping the rpm's under 2000 (mine hit 2000 at 70...
