Thanks fellas, more work than we thought but all good!! Need some steering work, ours run an idler box on left hand side so all that needed fitting plus the crossover of the steering. Lucky my mate owns the f series place!!

Took for first drive yesterday, needs wheel alignment bad, but all else good. Gearbox changes awesome, must of had a modded valve body at some stage as shifts very firm and fast. It had a billet triple clutch converter as well. So hopefully will last at least til I get rest sorted. Very loud with 4" down pipe and no other exhaust.

Bit of an update, done quite a few km's on the truck now. The 4" down pipe hit the floor as rhd truck don't have the room under the floor like your trucks do. May lift the cab an inch, not sure yet. Other than that had a few small bugs but got them sorted, getting the rear spring reset to lift it a couple inches this week as it sits lower than the front.

Had a few probs last week. Got hard to start when warm and ran rough. Checked icp sensor and had oil on it so replaced it. Checked codes and had a few, had a t500 hpop and new ipr to go on so we changed them. Still showed codes (p1210 and p1212). Did a few miles today and cleared codes. seemed to start faster, but still wont start when warm unless wait to start light is off. changed setting on superchips and give a run. Still hard to start warm and shows code P1000? I dunno

Nice truck! Is that a 57 - 60 panel truck I spy in the background?

 

[aussie_f350]

Thanks, it's a f600 fire truck, maybe a 59 model? I have another pic of it someplace? I'll find it and post it back up

 

[aussie_f350]

wheels and tyres today!! Its wierd i have always used mickey thompson mtz but seem very noisey on this truck? Could it be the extra weight??

 

[kiwi f150]

[aussie_f350]

Not much happening lately, just a little work on the tray (bed). My gearbox has developed a slow 1-2 change and having some code issues. My AE software arrived today for some trouble shooting, will install on my laptop on the w/e.

we have filled the whole part along the back to hide the ugly F350 tank, just needs a little more tweaks then blast it for painting

middle part was done a couple weeks ago, so is a little dirty
