Godzilla has arrived! Ordered on February 07 and arrived Friday. Picked her up today. Traded my 2019 Diesel F350 in. They paid me more than I paid new in 2019. Can’t wait to stretch this 7.3 out! ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/uTRPR4t.jpg)

Looks good! Is Lebanon Ford the dealer that will slap a Whipple supercharger on nearly anything? Seems like I remember reading about them.
Now with even more aplomb

A couple lights on top and a water tank in back, and you have yourself a brushfire truck that the local volunteer FD would be jealous of....

That will feel like a dog compared to the 6.7

That will feel like a dog compared to the 6.7 I did my research…hours of YouTube videos and reading. I know it’s strengths and weaknesses. It is far and away the best gas option on the market now. I tow a 10k pound rated utility trailer back and forth to the farm occasionally. If I towed every day and heavy loads like hotshots or ranchers, I would most definitely have ordered another diesel. But I don’t, and I am thrilled to be done with the worry of the EPA crap, DEF, MUCH higher maintenance costs and $1.50/Gal higher fuel prices.

Nice truck, but I’m surprised that you need to pay an additional $325.00 to get wheel well liners.
My other auto is a .45

Ordered mine on Feb 4. It arrived at dealer 2 days ago with damage from shipping. So now we wait longer. Anxious to see the 7.3 though. Your's looks real nice.

Appreciate the compliments gentleman. It’s a beast with those 4:30 gears though I’ve stayed out of it. Got the windows tinted, leather treated and Ceramic paint protection done.

Very nice. What RPM are you seeing at highway speeds with the 4:30 gears and that 10 speed transmission?

I have a similar truck with the same engine and gears. With stock tires, 70 mph is ~1850 rpm, 80 mph is ~2100.

What a difference that 10 speed od transmission makes! That big engine is just loafing and should last forever at those speeds. That isn’t any more RPM than a smaller engine with lower numerical, higher speed gearing.
