What in the heck is going on in Hayden Idaho???
I don't agree with his "politics", but I would've had the police arrest the folks that destroyed his snow-clansman for trespassing or destruction of property. Not that I'd make a snow-clansman:cookoo:, but someone that comes onto my property, and proceeds to destroy something I've worked on and made, is gonna be looking at the business end of a shotgun until the popo arrive!!!!!:smart:As far as I know, this country still has the 1st amendment to the constitution.........free speech!!!! I say let the idiots spew their hate.............at least it's out in the open for all to see!!!

So I bought a second diesel truck :D
Yeah guys..............but it's still a "FURD"!!!! I dunno......I think would go the Isuzu route before a Furd. I drove a '99 crew cab 'stroker to West Palm Beach, FL a few years ago. And although the rig got me there, I didn't know if I would've gone deaf listening to the radio to drown out the engine noise or vise versa had that trip been any longer!!!! That '99 stroker sucked thru the small mountains of KY and TN also as far as mileage and power goes. And that's pulling a small cargo trailer going about 5k pounds!!!

6.7 will run in a 03-07 truck.
The 03-04 have the same piston design also as the 6.7's. They changed the piston design for the 04.5+ engines because of the 3rd injection event. The "pre-'04.5" engine are known to be more fuel efficient engines also.

Revisionist History, NOT............The First Thanksgiving
George Washington's 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me to "recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:" Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enable to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us. And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best. Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the 3d day of October, A.D. 1789. G. Washington (his actual signature) NOTE: Shortly after the Thanksgiving Proclamation was written, it was lost for 130 years. The original document was written in long hand by William Jackson, secretary to the President, and was then signed by George Washington. It was probably misplaced or mixed in with some private papers when the US capitol moved from New York to Washington, D.C. The original manuscript was not placed in the National Archives until 1921 when Dr. J. C. Fitzpatrick, assistant chief of the manuscripts division of the Library of Congress found the proclamation at an auction sale being held at an art gallery in New York. Dr Fitzpatrick purchased the document for $300.00 for the Library of Congress, in which it now resides. It was the first official presidential proclamation issued in the United States.

stihl ms880 vs ms660
I know they ain't what they once were; but, I have an old Muchulock 610 with a 28" bar. It's about 30 years old but all it does is run and cut!!! It's really to big to limb and such, but it's simply awesome on downed trees and such. If I had to buy a saw now, it'd be a Stihl or Poulan probably.

Common Rail Issues
Hence my avatar!!!! There was some great guys and gals there, but the administrators and moderators (you know who) went stupid/omnipotent over there. And I was one of the first 200 or so members. That's all. Heck, that's the most I've thought of "that place" for a long time.

Gauges
I run Autometer UltraLites and have LP pressure, boost, and EGT. I also have the Quad digital RP gauge. I have the 6 speed so trans temp is not needed.

I know the procedure for the proper way to fold and store the "Stars and Stripes". Is it the same for the flags that fly "under" the "Stars and Stripes"??? Thanks Russ!!

Common Rail Issues
I thought that the "cruise control" version was only available for the '03-'04 trucks.........and that the "automatic" was only available after the '04.5 versions came out. And at that, both had to be enabled by the stealership, if not done so from the factory!!! Not arguing, just saying!!
