[pdumont01]

I'll take some pics. A fire truck hit it. Bent the front right side radiator frame, bent the front axle trackbar into a bow, snapped off the sway bar links, took out the pass bed side demolished the fiberglass fender lol, and the radius arm bracket to the frame got bent ruined the radius arm and also the arm hit the oil filter lost all the oil truck idled till someone shut it off and then engine was locked up. I had to use the starter and a pry bar to budge the crank to get the converter nuts, I had the starter in and out 6 times

Did you get this truck from an auction house near Pittsburgh, PA? One of my high school buddies is a firefighter out there and got smashed by a new superduty in a firetruck he was driving.

Frame looks surprisingly well. Ill post some pics when I go back to the shop. I believe the truck was from new York. Was a construction company vehicle. It is a crew cab dually black metallic not sure what the name is. I'm going to nursing school right now after being a ford senior master diesel tech for ten years(go figure), so project is going a little slow.

Smart, a/c cooled job. No physical labor, cleaner job. And better pay. Don't blame you one bit.

Yeah I love working on stuff especially powerstrokes, but in the end when I'm 50 I don't want to be contorting my body in all kinds of crazy positions. I feel it already lol

Are you keeping the factory turbo or is it damaged? Interested in selling it?

Re-using it sorry. I tried to talk my buddy into getting rods pistons Dual pump and a bigger turbo but he opted for the head studs only. :-(
I personally would have overdone it but he wanted the engine warranty still.
