Thank ya! I'd love to have some amps but not in the budget for now. Good news is I won't need the Brazilian Butt Lift with all this stepping up into the truck i'll be doing LOL

I looked for a bumper for a while but couldn't find the right deal. Plus if I get the bumper then I'll feel like I need the tailgate (which I kinda do cuz mines a little beat up). Quit spending my money oke: haha

Love that stance, looks so awesome. Might I suggest 08+ mirrors.

Edit: and a light bar

Thanks! That thread on the 1A auto mirrors has really been tempting me! I definitely miss my mirrors on the 6.4. I may wait a little while and see if I really find I hate these mirrors first though. The whole cracked head fiasco shrunk my mod budget pretty bad. The light bar is on the list too, but not as big of a priority since this truck has the fogs

We will see what happens in the spring! I don't think it's gonna change too much for a while I'm pretty happy with it. Needs some tint and I need to put my mirror lights in, the do the head unit and subs. Would like to get my ford emblems on the grill and the tailgate in black since they're faded anyways. Might plasti-dip them and see how it looks but always feel like plasti-dip cheapens the look of a vehicle

Looks sharp dan compare to that blue tape lol

Thanks Kevin! haha everyone hatin on my blue tape

Looks great man! What wheels?

Thanks! They're Gear Alloy 726 MB in 20x12

Looks good, wish I would have held out for a grey truck now.

 

[sootie]

I love it.

Let me know when you want to sell it...

 

[Josh@DirtyDiesels]

Thanks Josh! Nothing nastier than you flying by lookin like a freight train with that hood stack haha. Your truck looks so mean!

Too bad I didn't meet anyone today lol. I knew what everyone's trucks looked like, but not what they looked like.


Anyways, here are some quick pics I took when I got home tonight. Sorry a few are blurry they looked good on the little LCD on my camera

Thanks bud!







So on another note, I did a little research today and found out that the coolant in my truck isn't Cat EC-1 rated, in fact it isn't even a true ELC coolant, and is low silicate instead of silicate free. Could this be the cause of the higher than normal deltas i'm seeing? It's Fleet Charge Coolant. Guess I need to flush it all out and put something better in huh?

any input on this? also yesterday EOT got up to 217 on the way to MPD. Temperatures seem too high for being unloaded...

With a coolant filter, I think some guys use fleet charge. The only place ive seen it for sale here is in gas stations/truck stop kinda places.

217 is way high for unloaded...what was the coolant temp when you saw 217* eot?

 

[RescueF250]

^^^^Agreed 217 is high for unloaded.

 

[O2ShootTheJ]

Usually within 8-12* hit 14-15 once or twice I think

 

[loboost]

Sounds like your cooler is clogging bud

Like I told ya a few posts back...that final, after assembly flush made me kinda Leary...Ive never done that...nor heard of anyone doing that.

 

[Josh@DirtyDiesels]

Damn those temps seem mega high. Mine was at about 198 coolant and 202 oil when I was doing those 100+ mph pulls cruising with you yesterday lol

 

[Coxey Diesel]

My highest EOT I can remember was after a 100+ mph trip to Atlanta and I think it was 192.

 

[O2ShootTheJ]

I'm gonna try and throw a tstat in it sometime this week but more than likely I guess I'll be talking to Adam about getting another oil cooler.

Must have been all that extra east coast air you were getting keeping your truck cooler since you were going faster LOL
