    I went to change the oil in the F250 today, it holds 15 quarts of oil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't even have a container big enough to do that. Took it Pepboys, 3 hours, 4 gallons of rotella and 90 bucks later, got it back. The oil filter is almost the same size as the VX's air filter I also found out that the air filter costs 90 bucks and is the size of our entire air box. Damn. Fuel filters aren't cheap either, but I got some off of ebay. Cool thing it has, it monitors air filter DP, and has two separate indicators for it. That turbo is a monster and sucks up some air. Still gotta replace wheel bearings, and the goose neck hitch goes in next week. Then its time for 35' trailer shopping. I looked at one today, its hard to appreciate how big that really is until you see it in person. Its like a semi trailer. I am looking for a solid flatbed, that way we can put the tents on it, once I have it setup, I can weld some tie downs so tent popping is a breeze(no room for jokes, this is serious business). Maybe even cut a few small holes for quick toilet access

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Well, that pretty much says it all. Glad you got it fixed.

    I remember talking to a Lady once that was complaining that the engine in her car had fried because of lack of oil. I asked her if a bright red engine oil light on her dashboard had illuminated??? She replied........Now that you mention it; yes, there was a bright red indicator light glowing for a few minutes just before it happened. I asked her........Okaaaaaaaaaay, and how did that make you feel??? She replied.......I thought it was pretty.

    'Nuff said.
