2013 CCLB F-350 DRW 6.7. Lariat Ultimate (with ballsac coolers!!!)

I am not crazy about the chrome package... But this is everything else that I wanted. I took all of the tinted lights off of the 450 and brought them over. These headlights really are horrible looking... I'll get some painted ones soon.

What is everyone using for tuners? I need to delete this thing. H&S?

Delete it? What happened to leaving this truck alone.

Leaving the internals alone... LOL Need better mileage. Not so much power, as it seems to have plenty as it is. Hell, the 450 got 16.4 on the highway.. This thing cant even match that... 4.30 gears, to 3.73 gears now... LOL

I'd leave it alone performance wise. Just to keep reliability intact, and warranty, with your lucj especially.

Nothing wrong with that. Must be your old one on the far side of it. Nice looking truck also.

Nice lookin ride!

Nice truck Corb! Hope it holds up better than your old 450!

Dzchey21 · May 12, 2013

Yep leave the ***er alone or run a Dpf on tune

webb06 · May 12, 2013

Looks sweet! Wish they still put the aluminum 19.5's on the 450's though. Anybody know why they quit with that?

I heard it was from all the owners of the 08-10 450's complaining about how rough they rode.

webb06 · May 12, 2013

Really? Well they sure looked better

Jason · May 12, 2013

Which is retarded. If you're buying a truck for the towing/carrying capacity, you aren't wanting a plush cadillac ride. I test drove a '09 450 pickup, and it didn't ride any worse than my '02 f250. Also, the rpm with the 4.30's wasn't too high 'like 2200-2300 at 70, so the whole "oh man the rpm are through the roof" argument goes out the window. Some people...

I thought is was because they were only speed rated to 80mph. And that's what the truck was limited to.

Corb, nice looking truck. For tuners H&S since they will have more tune options due to mcc. Or just drive it that way I'd it breaks ford fixes it. But I understand that is no fun.

It's all about wheel speed and torque.

I wouldn't want over a 3.73 gear in one of these

Corb@CorbinShipping · May 12, 2013

Yeah, 3.73 is def more than enough. If you found yourself up hill, with a load, at 60 mph in my 450, the 4.30s would keep you in od, but the 3.73s would likely have you shifting all over the place... but now with the M mode on the shifter, just click the gear that you wanna be in, and she will hold... And the Dana 110 axles no longer being offered, nor the 19.5 rims... paying the extra money JUST to get 4.30 gears, is not worth it to me... That why I opted for the 350...

It def does not need more power. I just wanna ditch the coffee straw size exhaust that she is breathing through... And I really dont like the crappy fuel economy AND having to buy DEF every oil change...

My 2011 f350 had the 3.73 and I pulled 24k with it all the time. It did well. On the interstate over 70 mph I let it have 6th. But if I was on two lanes I just locked out 6th and let it shift 1-5 automatically. Really the best of both worlds IMO. Mine would get 15-16 mpg unloaded with no tuner also. Just give it 5k or so to break in. The mileage will come up. I only had to put def in it every 5-6k and I had a trailer hooked to it over 50% of its lifetime by the trailer log on the dash.

Nice truck corb. I think you will like it.

Oh yeah and here's the remedy for the little tires. I put these on a customers new '13.
