Project: Diesel power

[Dave]

OK, so this isn't really a project thread, but just a record of my trials, maintenance, and any mods I do to my new truck. A quick rundown of the truck and a few pics:
2000 Ford F250
Extended cab, short bed, 4wd w/ manual transfer case
7.3L turbo diesel with 136k on the clock









The first thing I must say, is that nothing this big should EVER move this quickly. It was truly a godsend to pick this thing up, especially considering what I had been driving on my way there (rental car ruckus pg 3). For a truck, I'm impressed with how refined he feels and handles, on top of having more amenities then any other vehicle I have ever owned (holy crap, cup holders AND power accessories!).

I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The engine bay is spotless, a great sign that it has been cared for (these things get dirty quick if you don't keep it up). The interior is in fantastic shape; no rips or tears, everything works, and very comfortable and well thought out. Exterior is in equally great shape, aside from a scratch/ding in the tailgate; the color combination if very attractive and the metallic flake in the blue paint gives it a great sparkle. It was a steal of a deal and I'm positive this big bastard will be capable of doing everything I would ever need from a truck.

This was just a quick introduction to the MM family, I'll post more pics up after I get the chance to wash it and give a little more review after I start driving it some more. I'm already eating my words, in reference to a comment made about not liking trucks enough to want to drive one every day. :-D
