This is Mis Delilah. A 1997 7.3L Powerstroke F350 Crew Cab dually with 226,000 on the clock. Just got a 205/30 full force injectors, KC300 Stage 2 Turbo and a Hydra Preformance Chip. Not done with her. Got some little spots on the bode that need repaired in hard to see places. Then it's a new paint job and a 10 lug conversation.

We thought I kicked a rod a few weeks ago but thank good it wasn't. Blew a few seal and that was it. She is back up and running like a champ. I am ordering a long block just in case. Lol. It's always nice to have stuff on the shelf incase the day come. Lol

Well it looks like I am giving up the early weekends of bow season for deer 🦌 to tare down the the Powerstroke in Delilah. About 2 weeks ago, one of my daughters had a medical emergency while at work and she fell out. I got a text that said "DAD HELP", then one that said said "911" and the last one just said "SUG". I know she was trying to type "SUGAR"but couldn't figure it out. So I grabbed the keys to Delilah jumped in and turned the tune up to kill mode, +125hp. With the KC TURBO and the FULL FORCE INJECTORS she's not one to take lightly. Well that tune and my disregard for the outside world was not a good combo. The truck ran faster than ever, had more power and more torque than ever. I think the earth rotated the opposite direction a few times while I was on my way to get her. I had called the squad, told them to meet me there, told the cops they could write me a ticket when I got to where I was going if they wanted to. When I got there I found her in the back room laying on the floor fading. I checked her sugar and she was in the low 30's. I was able to get glucose gel I her mouth and she swallowed it i kept giving it to her a little bit at a time till the medics got there almost 5 minutes later. At that point she was in the high 40's, low 50's but still non responsive. They loaded her up and took her to the hospital. She spent 9 days in ICU and stepdown. She has speech problems now, the Dr's said those may get better but it the motor function that they are worried about. She has to walk with a cane now and has loss of some function of one arm. The Dr's don't know if that will ever get better. The chances are low. But she's a fighter, she gets that from me.

Now as for the beautiful Redheaded White Bitch I call DELILAH. She ran awesome on the way to get to my daughter everything looked great on all the gauges and everything. I left her running while I went inside, so I didn't blow a gasket or any lines or anything else. I wanted to just let her rest for a bit. Well when she was on the way to the hospital I went to the fuel stop and put fuel in her. I kinda watched the needle drop as I was driving lol. Well I shut the truck down, filled her up and went to restart her and that is when I heard it. The KNOCK not just a TICK but a full on KNOCK. Like some is hitting 2 sold pieces of metal together. I called my son in law, he brought my trailer and the other truck and we hauled her home. So I guess after looking at it for 2 weeks I will see what rod it is or how many rods it is that I kicked out of it. The good thing is, I don't have any new inspection holes in the side of the block. I figured I would drain the oil, pull the pan, pull the pump and see what I can find from the bottom side. I am sure none of it will be good news. We shall see.

Found this one tonight. She has some issues but it nothing that a few thousand dollars won't fix. She clean inside and out. Well other than the wrap. Lol. Just about the right price. But I'm thinking, do really need another 7.3 Powerstroke in my life, probably like I need another hole in my head. Lol

Hydra Preformance Chip for 7.3 Powerstroke Originally $500, asking $350 firm for it. It's never been opened, never been programmed and never been installed in a truck. They are fairly simple to program and install. Takes about 10-20 minutes to program about a 1--1 1/2 hours install. I bought 2 by accident but only need one of them, so my loss is your gain. Lol. Come take advantage of it.

I DO NOT WORK FOR, HAVE AND OWNERSHIP, OR AFFILIATION WITH "HYDRA", "POWER HUNGARY PREFORMANCE" OR ANY OTHER COMPANY. I AM AN INDIVIDUAL, PRIVATE PERSON.

Meet Delilah. She's a 1997 F350 Crew Cab Dullie with a 7.3L Powerstroke, 226,000 on the clock. KC300x Stage 2 Turbo (63/73), Full Force Injectors (Stage 3 Hybrid) 205cc/30% and Hydra Performance Programming Chip. She's definitely fun to drive, she sounds good and she looks good now too. It's been a labor of love. I probably have way more in the truck than what it's worth but I don't care. I'm not looking to sell it. Delilah is my unicorn 🦄 truck, the one you her about but can never see or find. Next step is a 10 lug conversation for the wheels. Haven't decided on the wheels I want yet.

Meet Delilah my pride and joy. Been searching for her for 20+ years and just found her in February. I'm going to paint a ROOTBEER BROWN CANDY PEARL on the fender flares for now and the a stripe later. Should I use a white or a black basecoat? I just don't want to be piss for using the wrong basecoat. Thanks in advance.
