Crackin open a cold one

Good info.. thanks. I like Summit, I have always had good luck with car stuff. Havent hit them up to much for SD stuff.. But I will now. If I can find it I think I am going to try and split my 4" into two 3's (thats the stock stuff right???) and then put tips out the back. I woudl prefer...

I like it... It woudl be a great tow rig for mine... I bet the ride isnt to smooth though..

You need to make sure your angle from the transfer case to the drive line is within 5 degrees of the angle from rear end to drive line. Drive line should be straight. That could be your problem. I lift everything I buy. GO BIG OR GO HOME.....

I agree. You can put 05-07 headlights in it pretty easily. When I did mine though all the light bulbs and plugs are different. You have to go cut them off of that same years and splice them on. Its really nice if you can get a pair of jumper cables from your truck to the one your removing...

7.3 was in a few 03's they 1/2 yeared it. It seems most of the ones I have come across are 6.0's.What that won't buff out?

I am getting ready to do a simulated dual exhaust on my 02 7.3 PSD. I am probably going to Y pipe it just past the rear axle and I haven't decided if I am going to stick with the 4" all the way out the back or not. Anyone done this? Found a good place to get 45 degree angles and y-pipes? My...

Yep.. just a typical diesel.. You have to think about how close tolerance these engines are and the fact that they need to grow to operating temp and size. I try to let mine idle for a few minutes always.

Whats the outside temp? Are you just getting in and starting to go? Keeping her plugged in? Mine is a little cold blooded but nothing like that. Does the engine seem like its working and the transmission is not or vise-versa? They have lock up converters in these trucks. Possible its not...

Does that puddle smell like diesel? That would be a concern!!!!

Mine does that if I don't keep it plugged in. I also run my predator scan and got a glow plug code. I think its a combination on mine of bad glow plugs and not keeping my baby warm at night. This morning it was 40 here and it was just fine. yesterday I didn't plug it in and it got to 30 and...

Mine is a little rough until I get the gears. But I can still out tow a 1/2 ton.This was a little rough.. on me and the trailer.. did you know a SD on 35's wont fit through the fender wells on a car trailer? (at least on mine).. we had to run them over and then take a jack and a sledge...

I like the programmers. I can turn it to 40 /60 / 80 / 100 (I think) and I can run codes and clear them as well. I put mine on the big setting once and couldn't tell enough difference to use it over the "TOW". But when I go to the dunes I will be using that BIG DADDY. I have a predator. But...

Thanks for the infoI appreciate the reply Ben..smilieFordlogo

Congrats.. Good looking truck

So when is the "Truck Of The Year"?

thank youI apreciate the welcome and all the comments.. Thanks again

ThanksThanks Larry

Thanks DocThanks Doc

It still doesn't do to bad. I can get 12-14 when I behave.. but that's the problem I don't behave very much. I don't think I have ever gotten below 10 but then again my speed-o-meter isn't exactly accurate. We took a 500 mile road trip in it and I checked it off a buddy's odometer and I got...

WOW.. Im a dummy. thats no doubt about the intercooler. that woudl be a big mod possibly needing a radiator chancge and some custom core support work..

Man.. your awesome dude...

I guess the real question is how bad do you want it in there?I would be worried about the computers running the pump on the newer ones wouldn't work unless you took the computers and ect with the motor to put in the older truck. Rigging that might me a pain.I put a 390 in my cj7 in high...

Thank YouI appreciate the welcomes. Glad to be here.

I tried the switch on mine too. it didn't work. There is also another actuator on the transfer case. My cousin has a manual transfer case in his rolled truck. I am thinking about putting it in and adding manual lockouts. The issue with that is a buddy told me the warn aftermarket lockouts...

Did you try backing up a little ways? It has worked for me on some older trucks

There are some small changes, but I am almost positive. the early 99 had a different turbo than the rest. 01's have all the computers / fuse boxes and ect under the hood where as the 02 and 03 have the same wiring as the 6.0 and their computers / fuse boxes and ect are under the dash. I have...

I think we are just normal.. its the rest of "THEM" that need the help

I was looking at your trucks. Absolutely gorgeous. Its so nice to see those older trucks done up right. Great looking rigs and well deserved TOTY.

Sold my 1997 PSD with 297,000 onit. Built a chevy gas truck and I couldnt wait to sell that POS. got me another 7.3. My last monster truck (just a big 4x4) got 5mpg it was a bored out 454. My PSD gets 12-14 on 40" tires and I can run down the road all day long, tons of power and I can still...
