"NEW"- 99 7.3L long bed crew cab manual - mbryson support vehicle

This truck has more potential than I gave it credit for. The floor mats and no carpet make it a bit noisy. The early turbo has a little more whistle to it. Cool if you're not on a three hour drive. The manual really makes a good truck great. Now, about those glow plugs.... it's time.

With one Jeep on the trailer, I only had to bump into 5th a few times. Impressed I am

A late model deezel would smoke this thing. It can do the speed limit in the canyons. Good enough for me

No emission components on the engine makes up for the lack of higher hp

Also the steep dawg hill coming home just before Wellington. I hope I'm not in 3rd gear there but I'll be SHOCKED if I can pull it in 5th (1:1). Hoping 4th gear and 2500-2600 rpm gets me 55 mph up that hill

I am also very curious how your truck will handle that hill (which is ~20 miles outside of Wellington IIRC). Please do report back with your findings.
