Pulled the Trigger on a new one
Pulled the trigger on a new one. 2018 F550 Super Duty Lariat Diesel 4 X 4 Now time to switch the body, hold downs and hitch, hope this one lasts longer than the 2008, way too much trouble ...

Nice..
I know they changed the frames... were the same from '07 through either 06' or '07. Might be a little mod for the transfer.
The 6.7's are well done. Nice up grade. Congrats!!
I don't know what they changed in the frame, I checked all the dimensions to make sure the service body would still fit. That is a industry standard, the same in all cab and chassis. I don't think they would mess with that. Even the hitch people would be pissed because they bolt up to the frame too.
I am looking into it but I think maybe a higher tensile strength is all, Ford added around an extra 10,000 lb. CGVW to 40,000 lb from 30,000 lb in 2008. I like that! I scale in at 29,000 lb. with the camper and boat. Nice to have the extra weight allowance.
That makes sense... could well be that they changed attachment locations/other items that interfered with their setup.
I have a couple of '07's left...I think they're at 32, 33k. Forty is a nice large jump. Sweet deal for you for sure!!
