New one already. NICE! Don’t be holding out on us where the pic. What did you do with all that nifty stuff you had on the old truck?

I get the same mileage with my 6.2 as I did with my 460. BAD! But I don’t buy um to get mileage. I drove around all winter with a 1000lbs of unilock in the bed and the truck doesn’t know it’s in there. I think the 6.2 has good power and is way better than the older motors it replaces. My truck is just a reg cab if I had a crew cab I would defiantly get the diesel. I am also really good at leaving the truck idling when I go in to places.

Trucks don't rot out down here, so you could put a new engine in and paint it for years. My Dodge is 7 years old this month and there is NO rust on it.
I'm certainly eating these words now.

If you didn't see my other post, here's my 2011 F250 6.2. Bought it 3 weeks ago. Brand new left over with 35 miles on it. Has 220 now.

Andrew, did you trim the lower valance to fit like that above the plow frame, or is that an aftermarket one of some sort?? Looks alot better than being so long from the factory, and being notched to fit "around" the plow frame!

That is the cleanest and nicest plow mount install I've ever seen. That right there would make me consider a Western.

Both those truck are awsome. I have one on my 09 F250. Haveing trouble with the mount. I like the way both these look. How did you get the damper under the pumber to not interfear when you put the plow on?

My lower plastic piece doesn't interfere with the plow at all. I trimmed off around 6" so it's just above the mount. No problems putting the receiver buckets on or the plow.

That just a fly screen on your grill or a grill Insert? Looks like the factory grill still.
