so i am 20year old and in the army since i graduated highschool. just got my first commonrail a 04 f350 4door 4x4 shortbed
background. owned and keep my 72bug running throught out highschool (if you owned one you know 4years of maintance is fun)
got a 84 f250 6.9l with a turbo, high low rear vender, a 97 full float dually axle. loved the truck but the wiring harness blew out on me about after a year, and the injectors went out but they were 400$ with a return kit not 3000$
anyways the 6.9 really turned me onto diesel i wanted to keep that as my truck but i was inneed of something that didnt blow up all the time. i loved to germany and bought a vw gti and i hated that thing with a passion. missed diesel so much right before deployment i made my mind up and got my loan and went truck shoping on block leave break. while i sit here in afganistan i am trying to build up my mod list and how to make my 6.0 bullet proof. iv been reading a lot of articales in magazines on how this is possible too. so theres more then just a egr and oil cooler change for me.
the 04 is decesntly clean. 198000ish miles on it when i bought it, i got it to almost 200k before i left in. it had 8 new injectors done 1 year ago, egr couple months ago, the head gasket and apr studs. that and it was the cleanest ford i could find in my price rang at the time. and since it had all the problems solved i loved it more
i will be asking a lot of questions on proformance parts and some other things. i am a guy who turns his own wrenchs and will do all my own mods. i want to build a 4link with airbags so my 84 is my test truck for all my crazyness i like to play aroudn and build. all in all this will be my new daily driver so i want it to be smooth with a lot of power to have fun with, might get to tow depends on what i do with the money from deployment. i am not into lifts and huge tires, i dont really deleave in mudding a diesel but its plan is to be a tow rig for all my 4x4 friends
