My new 6.0! Awesome!

Wow, what an awesome truck! I've never had a Ford before, or a diesel, and now I can honestly say I'll have nothing but! I love the way it looks, inside and out, and that motor is insane. I use the truck to pull my race car in an enclosed trailer, the thing weighs about 8,000lbs loaded - the truck hardly knows it's there.

I did have to make some changes from stock, namely the tires. The stock 20" tires had too tall of a side wall, and the truck wouldn't fit in my garage (see below), so I swapped to the BFG All Terrains - better tires anyway.

And I made a few other changes, mostly to the stereo and bed area. Here's a spec list for those of you who care:

2006 Ford F250 Super Duty
