    09 F350/450 vs 2000 F650

    Thanks for the input! I thought the same thing about the Cummins but the guy had quite a few aftermarket parts that sounds like it would have made up for any lost power. That was the only reason i was really looking at it, otherwise I would prefer the C7 Cat Well i cant find one for under...

    10-11 is pretty damn good! I also seen that a few came with the Eaton Fuller 10 speed :sweet i think you are begining to talk some sence into me :) How about insurance? I dont think the regular ol' insurance places insure vehicles like this. I need to check with USAA just for ****'s and giggles.

    I completely forgot about car audio... Amps do need a lot of power.

    Dual Alternators

    At what point do you need more amperage? e.g. pulling an rv with additinal lights, having a large power inverter in the cab running stuff, etc.

    Right, and they do make bumper pull Toy Haulers as well. I wouldnt be towing to its full capacity, just saying that i do plan on doing towing with what ever i decide to go with which, may or may not determine the practicality of the vehicle. I guess my biggest problem is the engine choice...

    09 F350/450 vs 2000 F650

    Thanks for the link Bush! There sure are a lot of volvos are there, are they cheap? I couldnt find any prices, i will keep looking though. Wouldnt i need a CDL to drive one? The F650 is a little more practical then the Volvo's, it would still be driven every day and at least it has a bed. I...

    Engine shuts off while driving!!

    There is a HPOP sensor right behind the turbo, if it is going bad then the injectors will not fire. But i havent seen one go bad every blue moon, i have just seen them stop working causing a crank but no start issue. That is the only thing i can think of. Also... wouldnt the sensor trip a check...

    My Home Theater upgrade

    I was looking at Denon but after reading some home theater forums someone mentioned that the format that the Sony PS3 puts out for sound was not compatible with the Denon. Not that it wouldnt work just that the Yamaha would be able to better utilize what the PS3 was feeding it. Cant wait to...
