Stock
03 7.3 F250 Auto 4X4 Crewcab

Upgrades
6.0 Trans Cooler, Compressor Wheel, Quadzilla Commander, TS Performance (50,75,100,140,High Idle)

The trans temp never got above 170F and the enigne oil was at its highest 223F, Fuel econ wasn't that bad 13.1 going there and 12.9 on the way back. I was running red diesel on the way there so go figure. In the desert it was 109F

I am trying to get the Video uploaded but I keep getting a Network Error, I will keep trying.

Lets just say CA is alot different from texas

I lived in ca for 21 years and moved to texas 2 years ago. I know what you mean about tex and ca being different. lets just say that after leaving ca, I will NEVER go back! My chicks parrents are still there so I am forced to go back 1 or 3 times a year and I hate EVERY second of it!!!
