Truck pulling like that is a waste unless you have a deep pocket. Its fun to watch but I could never get into it.Originally Posted by scott5
Heaviest I hauled was a total weight of 29,300. I knew it was overweight but didn't know it was that bad. Generally I'm around 21000 or a little under when hauling.

Here's a big one. After doing the calculations, it was just a little over 27k.

Me too! I bought an 09 F250, I like it but it doesn't pull near as well as my 06..
Unfortunately, even with the bigger engine, it won't. Everybody knocks the 6.0's but damn, they are some pulling machines when properly done. Get past the emissions bullshit and they are very dependable trucks.

I wouldn't ever trade mine for any Dodge. Especially after seeing what my uncle has gone through with his. Its built to haul also but the body and frame is total shit. Shipping crate for a Cummins.

That's exactly right. Other thing is proper tuning. Never ever ever use an edge or bullydog tuner on these trucks. Its an instant recipe for disaster!! A $300 bull dog tuner or edge juice will give you a repair bill higher than the truck is worth. I had a bulldog on mine when I first got it 4 or 5 years ago. The result was a $12,000 repair bill at Woltz and wind!!

Nice truck you have there. I have a Spartan tuned 6.4 dump truck. It runs pretty good. I also have a 6.7 pickup, I'm waiting for the warranty to run out to delete/tune it.
Do you run a grille cover in cold weather like this? I just grabbed one for the 6.7. That thing will not warm up

Holy crap Wick! Those are some Damn nice toys ya got there!! I think this is the year that I am getting a bike. Have been wanting one for a long time.

Nice!
No, I don't cover the grille. I have a Mishimoto radiator in it and never had any cooling issues. You may need a thermostat.
This is the rad.

Thermostat has crossed my mind, but the thing only has 6000 miles on it. It just started this a few days ago with these cold days. We will see

I wouldn't put being new out of the question. In this day and age you really never know what slips past quality control...or lack of really.

Don't open that welder!! Take it back and get the Lincoln 180 dual. Friggin AWESOME!!

You know, to be honest, I actually considered that. I have an older Lincoln 135 that I've had for probably 10+ years. Used t shit out of it. I just got this because I wanted to get a newer one.
That 180 runs on 110/220, right?

I'm at the point now of either doing what you said and upgrading it or buying the 4x magnifier for the Eotech on my Daniel defense. I'm having a hard time deciding still. Should just get both. What the hell. 700 for the magnifier and probably 2-300 for the upgrade on the mig I think.

Yes, it runs on both. Cord swap takes all of five seconds.
