In Melbourne

We drove from the farm in Holbrook to Melbourne yesterday. We worked at the farm for 5 or 6 days repairing some damage to tanks and creek banks from wombats. We caught up with some friends in Wagga as well. We also replaced the GPS which has decided SA doesn't exist.
We are now at Rosebud down on the Mornington Peninsula where we are spending some time with the Outlaws.
Tomorrow we take the ute over to Broadmeadows where at last we will get the canopy fitted later in the week. Also while there we are getting some upgrades done to the F350 to give it a few more horsepower. Another 210 which will bump it up to 560 horsepower which should help level out the hills and give better fuel economy. RF

  1. What have they done to the engine to get the extra 210 hp?

  2. The exhaust system has been modified and the computer re-programmed.It now pulls like a train.Steep hills don't exist anymore and fuel consumption has dropped 3 to 4 litres per hundred.The readout today was 18 per hundred from Melbourne to Holbrook.It has been previously up to 26.
