Well, ol' doc finally retired the best vehicle he has ever owned which is a 1990 3/4 ton GMC 4x4 it was simply getting to old and unreliable. I bought a new '04 Ford 350 with the 6.0 Powerstroke Turbo diesel. I couldn't believe that I got 14.2 gallons per mile towing the boat...awesome!

If you are measuring you milage in gallons per mile, I wouldn't call it awsome.

This can't be healthy. All this fishing is really messing with my head.

Doc,
Hope Ford did some improvment that motor since 01. The 01 F350 "Power" stroke I drive at work is a gutless pig.

I'm guessing Doc can now haul two boats AND a van up a boat ramp! Lose the tow strap and get some logging chain and your all set!
F350! Argh Argh Argh.... Good choice Jim.

The first thing to always go is the oxygen sensor....

Chip it and replace the stock muffler...
You'll really see performance
