The old Ford finally died!

Hi all,


The week before Christmas my 88 Ford 7.3 Diesel decided to blow a hole in it's oil cooler...need I say more? So it was off to look for a new truck. I was going to replace it soon anyway.


After looking at the new Fords and Dodges I drove over to the GM Dealers. There was no comparison... GM had them hands down. So it was just a matter of finding which dealer was going to give me the best deal.


What a truck.... 07 LBZ 2500HD LS. 4X4. Talk about smooth power! Got to try out the 4x4 in the snow last night, does just fine. Hope to be able to contribute to the forum soon.

I will get some pics as soon as I can clean her off. From the day I brought it home it was either covered with mud or snow. It is now covered in sleet and ice! Hopefully this week.


As far as mods go, I think until spring it will just be the bed liner and gauges. Come spring I will start looking at chips and exhaust. Then we will see where that takes us!
