Trucks back from MPD

F250stroker08 · Jan 29, 2012

I recently took my truck down to MPD to have new gaskets, 1722 studs ( Bought them 2 months ago), mpd egr delete with wastegate, 4 in. downpipe, no limit intercooler pipe, and ported fuel rails installed. Also had the heads machined and checked for cracks, which came up negative ( black truck and cracked heads myth busted).

Picked the truck up saturday and have put 250 miles on it since. Runs great, no codes. Gonna put some more miles on it and then mess with the wastegate a little.

Craig also took me a ride in his truck. I will say that is is extremely wild. Never rode in a truck that fast. The shifts from the 4r were firm and pulled like crazy.

I am very happy with my truck now.

Thanks. This has been a build that was long overdue. The truck has been puking for over a year now so i was surprised the heads were ok. Craig said the gaskets were pretty bad tho. The single turbos seem to be pretty sweet. His 75mm is mean.

Lol well im glad to see someone with a black truck had some luck. And I'm glad to see stock turbos and fuel rails isn't a problem cause my truck is acting up. Good luck and have some fun with it!

Congrats buddy. Let's see some pics of under that hood. Sorry for the original fitment issue, I'm glad Craig an I were able to resolve it swiftly.

Thanks Mike. I will snap some pictures tomorow and try to get them posted up. As for the fitment, after thinking about it for awhile, it may have not even been the pipe. I hit a tree in the front passenger corner of the truck about three years back so that might have had on impact on the fitment. Nonetheless, the pipe is on now and im happy with it.

ahh.. no way!! that was something i had been concerned about, because that is one x factor that comes into play with fitment. and both sets i sent to craig were tough. ill put your original back in the fixture just to check and see if there was a design flaw... if not, you owe me a beer. hahahahaha
