I'm up near Rochester NY so the salt during winter is my concern. Is the stainless for 250 more a must or can I get away with the cheaper material and just keep it clean as I can.
This is for a 2005 f250 lariat 6.0
Did the blue spring mod on my 2001 7.3 PS
Now to road test it super simple took 30 minutes only cause I couldn't find my torque bits "star bit" once I found it took 5 minutes the new spring definitely more struggle on install but I guess that's a good thing lol
I got this 2006 6.0 287,000 for free because it was backfiring out of the intake. I found a broken exhaust rocker and I’m taking the cab off some time next month to fix it. I wanted to tackle some of the other things that go out on 6.0s while I’m in there. Is there any parts that I need to replace or upgrade to make this thing more reliable and bulletproof it? So far I plan on doing ARP headstuds and better head gaskets. Any advice for a parts list would be greatly appreciated.
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
We've had this truck in and out the shop 5 times trying to get this crazy chugging problem solved... It's had over $20,000 worth of work. It's been completely torn down and re-sealed, studded, new injectors, new fuel lines, fuel tank cleaned out... It's kind of sporadic, it seems to happen when the truck is warmed up, and when you're using the shifter a lot. Think backing up to a trailer, slow in reverse, forward a little bit, backwards a little bit, put it in park, then it starts chugging. sometimes when you rev it really hard it stops. It's one of the most reputable Diesel shops in the area that has been working on the truck
They said they tested the ficm voltage, I'm not sure if it was tested while the truck is chugging like that or not..
Any input or things to ask the shop about would be greatly appreciated!!
Requirements
Has been clean title!!
Rust free!!
Less that 150k (May consider trucks with a little more)
Bulletproofed
King Ranch or Harley (Preferably if they have bucket seats in the rear) May consider lower trims if it’s really clean.
Located near Spring TX. Don’t really want to go too far but can go for the right truck.
When turning full lock, I get some bad rubbing with these newer rims. Has anybody corrected this with spacers? I’ve read that 2” spacers fix the rubbing. Anybody else run into this?
