The Ford F-450 - For when you need to pull a house

Monday, September 1st, 2008
When you need to put your house on wheels and drive it across the country, the typical Ford F-Series pickup is just not good enough. You need the Ford F-450 6.4L Diesel. Gary figured this out when he bought an Adrenaline Toy Hauler (House) . That is why he traded in his 2006 3/4 Chevy Duramax for this beautiful Ford F450 pickup. "Truck is absolutely awesome and makes long hauls a breeze." says Gary. Gary had the bed sprayed with Line-X Bedliner and installed a RollBak Tonneau Cover.

Half way up the ten-mile hill, I had passed up most the cars and was still going strong by the time we reached the top. In fact, I was at least Continue reading

Things to Look for when buying a 94-98 Ford Powerstroke Diesel

Things To Look For When Buying A Used PSD Turbo: You might take the air tube off the back of the air filter and look inside of it.
