Just a little update... *pics*

Just a little update for the hell of it. Got a manlier DD.

I went from this:

to this...

It's an 03 with the 7.3 diesel. I like it a lot.

And I finally got some Chickenears mats:

The quality of these things is amazing. I haven't put in my console yet because I'm not sure if I want to cut my stock seats, or get aftermarket ones.

And here's a dirty pic of the truck:

I'm also going to be getting my windows tinted. Any ideas on how dark I should get?

I had 18 % in my GTO and it was perfect! Just dark enough to not attract attention (cops) and not light enough to see in. Mainly because I had my kenwood DNX7120 installed

very nice! gangsta..

Damn those EXCURSIONS are huge, your local gas/diesel station is going to love you.

I wouldnt go very dark on the tints... Maybe like 20%

 

[bird_jenkins8]

Your daily driver is a gas guzzler........and I have 5% on my windows, the darker the better in my opinion

 

[kirst8404]

15% all around here.........

Manditory on Sonic Blue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[volcomsurf76]

:dw: Isn't it part of the consideration of a DD to actually help save you money on fuel expenses? :dw:

Nice choice in engines. Do yourself a favor and buy a spare crank sensor and keep a 10mm wrench in the glovebox.

Or to keep miles off of the ride you really like....

THAT was the original reason guys got DD's in the first place, before fuel prices went up. No one remembers those days hahaha

i just threw 20% on the sides seeing how the back is already tinted 20%

Man I have a friend with the 7.3 Diesel and has 860,000 kms on it!!!! or 535,000 miles

Not true.

I bought my 93, 99 and 2000 Lightning to keep the miles off of my car.

Also at 2 miles to the gallon highway on mixed fuel any of the trucks helped me save on fuel costs. I've had both my 55 and my 57 for over 15 years, way back when 93 octane was $0.80 a gallon.




I also said "part of the consideration", not all of it.

Nice excursion! VERY NICE Eric!!!! pic of said 55?

 

[wallie40]

Are those Chickenear's floor mat's really worth the cost? I like how they look just can't see spending that kinda money for them right now......

 

[TqMnster]

I cant justify spending that much on something I'm just gonna get nasty with my shoes....

Those big things with the 7.3 actually get surprisingly good mileage for its size. My 94 F250 with the 7.3, supercab, dual 18gal tanks, and big ole tires.. got between 18-22mpg freeway consistently.... for 437000 miles before it was sold. All we did was change the oil, and the torque converter 3 times (the first 2 installs were done by someone who was mentally retarded, and just happened to be on meth when he did the job apparently).
