Payback sucks...

[Skandocious]

I'm happy for you. I gotta say that is really one of the most awesome trucks on the face of the earth...

My SuperCab is sitting in storage in Bozeman and it kills me... I wanna convert it to 4x4, put a nice pickup box on it and I have plans for a Cummins swap hanging around in the back of my mind. But I have no room for it over here and it really wouldn't be useful for anything.

Can't wait for the pics of the truck and Mustang together!

Thanks dude. There will be plenty of pics.

And now that I'm keeping Bertha long-term (and actually have money now) I'm gonna treat her right. Gonna fix all the things that need to be fixed, including the surface rust on the cap corners (might even have the whole truck painted). I think I'll eventually get some DuraTracs (maybe lift another inch and get 34s). Then of course all the outstanding maintenance items.

Real excited to get her looking GREAT.

Might even eventually re-visit the ZF swap saga...

So you think she's mad, some sorta payback huh?

*the above post is meant as a joke*

 

[Skandocious]

Brad you've got some kind of imagination.

 

[Blue Goose]

Thank you, thank you....

Has she been behaving herself since the starter episode?

 

[5.0Flareside]

if she's still acting bad...

you need to threaten to give her away to me... and then if withing 24 hours no better... REALLY GIVE HER TO ME!!!! LOL!!!!!!


wahahaahhahahha

For the most part, yeah. She's running pretty well now.

Keep dreaming pretty boy

Refresh my memory, what kind of fuel mileage were you getting out of that centurion beauty? I'm thinking it was in the 12-14mpg area???

 

[Skandocious]

Yep, 12mpg. Sometimes 13 if i turn off the engine and cost downhill.

 

[SuperCab]

Pretty good for a juiced 351 with 4.10s...

Makes me jealous

 

[Skandocious]

Hahaha I wouldn't call it "juiced". Having driven the EcoBoost for a year, now Bertha feels like she can't get out of her own way. When I merge onto the freeway and give a good amount of throttle it almost feels like the truck isn't even accelerating, hahahahh

I'm also afraid to really mash the gas so soon because of the gasket blowing last year...

 

[SuperCab]

I know what you mean... I thought my Suburban was pretty quick until I drove my dad's company truck. 2011 Chevy 5.3l... that thing's a little hotrod, and good on fuel too...

One word. Stroker!!!

that would solve your power problems!!!

 

[rambler]

She'll be happy when her boyfriend arrives in 2 months

when that happens, can I have the pick of the litter?

 

[Skandocious]

Those would be some strange looking car-babies

 

[O'Rattlecan]

It would be like a Ranchero with attitude.

I know exactly what you mean. Both ways.
