Introducing me and my money pit

[b.mat21]

Hey everyone names Brandon and I’m from Wisconsin. I recently purchased a 1997 4x4 f250 regular cab. I’ve had numerous powerstrokes in the past. Looking forward to updating and modifying. Truck will be used for Sunday cruiser/ occasional show.

Plans for the winter
Collect parts for 05+ axle swap along with rear leaf spring swap
Collect parts for hydroboost swap
Collect parts for power steering pump upgrade plus gear box upgrade


I plan to do lots of reading seem like I’ve found a few good post already! Anyone can point me in the right direction would be much appreciated!

Truck currently has Gauges Trans temp, boost, egt. will be getting an intercooler soon. Looking at one from jelibuilt? any good? looks pretty similar to CX racing intercooler kit. Truck also has 3'' DP to 4'' back, S&B intake with TS chip.

How many miles on it? Blowby?

Currently has 107K with no blowby. Does have an oil leak that seems to be rear main, but will dive into that this winter.

Look for oil in the valley. Rear mains hardly ever leak on these trucks. Usually can me traced to a leak in the valley that runs down the drain hole and exits the truck between the motor and trans. Can play hell with the clutch on a manual shift truck.
