I got the fender emblems on! Man, the adhesive sucks balls.

Still have the "diesel" ones and the tailgate to do.

Lookin good, man! I always loved the 05-07 front end look. Now you just need to get the other emblems on!!! C'mon man.

Oh and if you are still looking for a PSD forum, you may want to check out powerstroke.org. I'm a mod over there and, like this forum, a bunch of great people over there.

Section, the D3 looks great in the dash! What are you first impressions of the D3, as far as function/ease of use?

I'm looking at the Z2, which I understand to be extremely similar to the D3 as far as function is concerned, but with fewer AV features and more advanced navigation features, which is what I'm looking for.

I'm totally digging it so far! Just hooked up my old iPod and made a custom background. My BIL has the same one in his car which is why I went with it. He's had it quite a while now and says its way better than the Alpine W205 he has in their Sequoia.

I'll give you an update in a few days after using it more. I've only put about 5 miles on it.

Didn't get a camera.. yet. I might add one though, especially if it'll help with backing up to a trailer. That would be dope.

I played with it for a while on the way home from SLO today. It is definitely the coolest radio I've ever had. Lots of cool features like you can type in a business phone number and it will route you to their address. The bluetooth hands-free junk is way cool too. But I still think I've only played with out 10% of its features.

... and it's back in the shop!

I think I'm having another injector issue. Took it in Sunday night. Haven't heard anything yet.

Good thing I have so many other cars.


EDIT: They just called. It's a bad piston. Needs a new short block. Yes!!

god I hate powerstrokes


oh one other thing to point out, my '06 dropped $10K in auction transaction pricing in the past 4 months with rising fuel prices, as have the '08s from what I used to pay for them.

That pretty much ruined my day yesterday so I thought I'd share that before you get talked into trading it in on a newer one with "no issues"

This is why for how offen I tow, I bought the one-fitty. Decent mileage for a truck, and only uses regular gas

I walked the lot when I dropped it off that night... looking for an '06 or '07.

I have 8 months left of my warranty. So I'll have to do something.

Keep your eyes peeled for an '07 solid Blue Lariat with gray interior.
