Feb of this year I upgraded from a 04 F250 XLT 2 door with V10. it served me well until I got a larger 5th wheel, then the problems started. Trans caught fire on a trip with camper (fire extinguisher put out quick with no damage) then blew out a spark plug. that was when I got serious about a better truck. Found a 12 3500(dually) crew cab ST with the 6.7. have had ALL the emissions stuff fall off and installed a rear seat entertainment system for the grand kids. This truck pulls the 5th wheel like a dream and the exhaust brake is awesome (almost too good), gets better mileage both empty and loaded and even rides better (after removing the Timbrens). :happy107:

I picked up an honest 3mpg across the board when the emission stuff “was stolen” off my truck..........deleted and tuned CTD is a BEAST.

Enjoy sir!

Been out of a diesel for a awhile, I ran a Smarty Jr on my ‘10...........RaceME seems strikingly similar ;)
