I bought another truck yesterday. I have been looking for a diesel truck for such a long time and found one in my price range, I paid $2600 for the truck and had $3200 saved up from workin 2 different jobs. It feels so good because now all my friends are jealous!:D It's a 1997 Ford F250 HD with a 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel, 5 speed tranny with bad synchros, grinds in every gear pretty much. Runs great though, lots of power. I got it all shined up yesterday and it looks pretty good for an ex work truck with 270K. The only mods are a K&N Filter and a TS 6 position chip (120HP max). I'll be putting up more pics soon as well.

great looking truck man, i want a diesel more than anything, won't double clutching help to keep the gears from grinding while shifting?

Yep double clutching helps too...I'm just going to run it the way it is until my tranny grinds itself to pieces. Don't feel like going thru the hassle of dropping the tranny. Turn out stacks are definitely on the priority list!I:I:D
