Bummer, well I hope by the time you read this you are in Manchester, TN, groovin' to the music... Hate to hear that about the truck as the F450 is the one I have my sites set on next year when I retire to pull my new Landmark... well maybe by 2010 (the year model I hope to be ordering) or late 2009 if I buy off the lot (if any can be found by then) more of the "bugs" will be worked out of the 6.4L... I am driving a pre-emissions '03 Dodge CTD now and love it, but it is a 2500 and while I know it will haul a Pinehurst, I really want a lot more "margin for error/comfort" than an overloaded 3/4 ton will give me...
Anyway, good luck, and maybe we can hook up for coffee the next time we are over in your neck of the woods...
