First wash since I picked it up on Friday, complete with meguiars gold class 8)
Those rims were a pita, brake dust everywhere, looked like they hadn't been polished since new.

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, keep it looking that good all winter ;)

Seriously, that came out great, shine is awsome (as well as Bone Evil's reflection :twisted: )

OMFFFFG YOU GO THE 6.0 V10. VERY very nice! I drove one of them before. You can even smoke the tires from a stop in it if you try. Have you floored it from a stop yet?

Only thing i do not like about it is the 96mph limiter. We were doing 95mph on the highway one time when i figured that out.

SSEimatt93 08-15-2005 11:29 PM

I love that colour man!
Very nice!!!

PontiacMom 08-15-2005 11:46 PM

He not only made Bone Evil's Big Brother look fantastic, he even cleaned out the garage....What a good man!!!!

...needs a dry place to store the Bonne over the winter. ;)

Nice truck. Bet it's got a heater that's in good working order. :lol:

You need a ghost image of the bonneville down the side of it with the statement "my other ride is fast, but this can tow the houset" or something humorous

tripscarcare95 08-16-2005 10:25 AM

AD - If you need a V10 to smoke tires, you need help.

PDad...nice job, looking great. Did they give you a step ladder to get in and out? :lol:

IO 08-16-2005 05:42 PM

Real nice. Great truck. I'm going to be trading in our 04 Denali for the new STS-V, I'm number 2 on the list at my dealer. Then in January were buying the F250 Lariat Diesel.

PontiacDad 08-16-2005 08:28 PM

I only smoked the tires once, just to see. Its an empty pickup, no big deal dont think you need a v10 to do that.
I got the thing with a full tank of gas, down to half now, will have to fill it this weekend.
I only washed it once so far and it has no swirls, the color is close to the Bonne just not as dark.
And yes I need a step ladder to work on the monster, passed a semi today leaving the mill, I looked over at him not up :roll:

btw the truck weighs 7500lbs, about 2 bonnes :D

auroradude 08-16-2005 09:41 PM

Sweet man. but yeah i think they get like 5 or 6mpg as thats what my guy says he gets. And he floors it a lot.

Nice work there dude lol
I must say, it probally gets better mileage if u drive it better. On the highway its probally closer to 20, i would guess. depedning on the rear end, and gearing.

Slayer636 08-17-2005 12:04 AM

Nice truck, nice color, you lucked out.

LakevilleSSEi 08-17-2005 12:22 AM

16-17 MPG flat load/no load in the city. about 19-21 load/no load on the highway....

They're just like the diesels in LBS/FT and HP numbers almost.....But with spark plugs.

I will say I do like the Ford SD's.......I don't think i could go gas though.....

auroradude 08-17-2005 12:34 AM

My guy, i mean my bud who has the truck. He has the manual transmission. Also he puts in premium gas, but i dont think its required? :?:

Did you get the TorqShift auto tranny with yours PDad? I heard they havep roblems with high mileage.

I've never seen one go bad yet. And why the hell does he feel he needs to run premium?

Pretty much a waste of money right there.

shortstuf212559 08-20-2005 05:33 PM

wait, that huge truck gets better gas mileage than my SL? whats wrong with this picture.... i get 12mpg

duffer26 08-21-2005 12:43 PM

that is the truck i want i just wanht to slide a cummins in lol

PontiacDad 08-22-2005 12:20 PM

Thanks for the comments everyone, I sure like this truck :D

Just got back from a 1600 miles round trip weekend, cousins wedding.
I got 20mpg cruising at 2000rpm or 72mph. I was empty on the way there and
towed a boat (17 fibre glass) and hauled about 400lbs of pork and beef on the way back,
Same milage both ways too 8)
That top speed governer at 95mph has to go though, it sucks passing a semi only to
have the limiter kick in just as your about to cross back into your lane :?

On a side note saw about 30 4x4's (not one car or suv and no imports) all waiting at a stop sign in Alberta, it was quiting time at Imperial esso. Missed my turn cause of the spectacle :oops:

VigCS 08-23-2005 12:08 PM

Very nice...how much power does the v10 put out?

gm4life 08-24-2005 08:12 PM

Looks good, even if it is a FORD! :lol:
