I rode in a late model 6.0L power stroke truck similar to that last week.

The noise level was very impressive ... NOTHING like the older diesels were(they were loud).

The only time you really heard it, was when you stomped on it ... & boy did it haul ass when you put your foot into it(think it had a "tune" at a minimum).

Sweet truck, had I been on a car lot with money to burn, that sucker would be sitting in my driveway right now.

Roy, you comming to the meet friday at tower shops? Bring your new car! lol! Almost makes me wish I had black instead of silver. Actually, it does make me want a black one over my silver one. If black wasn't so hard to clean but that's another story. Will be looking foward to what you have to say about the car being that we are both new owners. :beer:

That doesn't look like the Black Harley Davidson truck you showed me at Team Ford. You must be suffering from Yellow Fever. I think that happens from a combination of late-hours at the Waffle House. The fever has very little distinguishable signs in the first couple of weeks. Then a sudden evaporation of cash becomes continuous. You become consumed with work related projects that overwhelm your free time. If you are suffering from any of these sign then contact your attorney immediately.

Sorry Martyo, after seeing you in the Waffle shop picture I got this vision.

Nope...you're right my friend. I showed you a different truck. This one has everything that the Harley has...but matches my logo better. After Superchips, S&B Cold air intake...and our 4" turbo-back exhaust...it will be a screaming yellow (able to beat most N/A Marauders and certainly that International thing in the 1/4)

BTW...I'll certainly have it done by the SSHS...so the keys will be yours for a spin!

Nice truck. I hope you enjoy it. Cause I enjoyed making your hood. It is stamped and assembled in my plant, before shipment to Kentucky Truck. And don't worry its entirely made of sheet metal and not aluminum. So its a heavy duty hood for a heavy duty truck. :banana:

The Meister of Mufflers is one busy man these days.

I had the pleasure of being present for the planning of some of these mods to the Grand Truckster. Todd and I went over to Team Collision to see about the grille and tail gate handle painting - both of which turned out great as you can see in the pics - and he told me about the splash plates, exhaust, window trim and fuel door. Note he relocated a badge on the door. Wait til you see the graphics package coming. It'll be impressive!!
