    Newbie from N. Texas

    Six months ago I sold my '79 F150 Lariat Supercab, SWB, loaded with every option, 460, auto, a/c, cruise, 1 of 10 Black ext. Saddle int. I had this truck for 22 years and didn't think I would ever sell. But, I need to move up to a 3/4 ton and wanted a Crewcab.
    My requirements for my next truck was, have under 50k miles, FX4, Lariat, or Harley Davidson. I focused on '05-'07 with 6.0 or '05-'10 with V-10. I leaned more toward the V10, just cause I was leary about diesels. Some friends that have put over 250k on thier 6.0's with no major issues convinced me that as long as you stay on top of the regular maintance (oil, trans, fuel filters, ect.) I'd wouldn't regret it.
    So, last month I found and purchase a '06 F250 HD, Crewcab, SWB, Black/Blue Flames with 38k original miles. I've been doing a lot of preventative maintance recently, fuel filters change, flushed coolant and installed DFuser filter setup, CAT delete w/ 4" Dynamax exhaust. I install a ARE "Z" series topper I found on Craigslist. Oils had been change recent, so at 40k miles I'll switch over to Mobil 1. I'm probably put less than 3K to 5K miles a year, so Hopefully I'll keep it for the next 22 years.
    Glad I found this site and the other Powerstoke related sites.
