It is minus 6 hours. Just remember that noon on Eastern time zone would be 11:00am Central. That is the easiest way to remember plus or minus.

If you google "UTC" and look at "US Time Clock" you would end up with this link:

http://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?UTC/s/0/java

That link should give you the time at GMT. Then on the left is a button saying something to the effect of "Change Time Zone" that you can click on and then choose the appropriate time zone.

I use this site every time we change to or from daylight savings time to make sure my watch is set right.

Terry,
Where in OK are you located? And where did you get the 450?

Joe,

Jo and I live between Mustang and Tuttle which are just SW of Oklahoma City. As for the F450, we stumbled across it at Diffee Ford in El Reno, Oklahoma, which incidentally, is our favorite dealership.

Here in Oklahoma, I figured that if there was to be a used F450, it would probably come out of the "oil patch" and thus be wore out and beat up. So, I was surprised to find a good one with only 46,000 miles and priced at $36,000. Come to find out, Diffee picked it up somewhere, possibly as auction, and it had been a leased vehicle.

We couldn't pass up the opportunity to buy it, so we jumped and got it the day I found it online.

Have been in Diffee several times over last 7-10 years, but never quite found what I had to have. Before I got my '09, looked at one at Joe Cooper and several others, but couldn't get enough on a trade.
Sure are nice trucks, eh?
Now you need a trailer to fit the truck.

Ok guys
If you are going from GMT to central time it is - 6hrs, If you are going from Central time to GMT it is +6 hrs.

If it is 1000 hrs ins ctz its 1600 gmt.

Ponch,

I tried to hijack the thread to talk about F450s, and you keep trying to go back to what was the original thought. Stop it!
