What have you done to your powerstroke today?

duddy · Jul 27, 2014

Friday night, Pulled eliminator took 3rd.
Friday night ride home, developed a miss.
Saturday morning determind that I cracked a piston.
Sunday blocks on the ground near ready to go get punched to fix the damage on one cylinder. Its a dirty shame to have to punch the cylinders due to this one hole, the cross hatch is still perfect. Oh well time to build it.

loaded to the fuggin gills, and i want it. calling tomorrow. same dealership that had the 08 my buddy traded in. and they love to buy 7.3s because they only have about a 1 week average turn around time on them. just aggravates me that they don't have pics of it up yet. ive been checking every couple days for the past 2 weeks.

8 year loan is not much more than I pay now on my 3 year loan once I trade mine in on it.

nobody will finance a used vehicle for 8 yrs. those usually only apply on brand new vehicles..

Stranger things have happened at this dealership. Like buying a blown up 6.4 for 22k.

When my buddy talked to him a couple weeks ago he said under 500 a month wouldn't be a problem.

Gonna guess he means fixing his vs. paying the note on another each month

I'm still paying in this one for a other 20 months. I kinda want something that runs quiet with a warranty. And it still fulfills my turbo whistle requirement, especially with a pair of batmowheels in it.

Csilva187 · Jul 28, 2014

Batmowheels will not fulfill your whistle requirement... Just cause a dealership says something doesn't mean the bank is gonna say the same thing.

Batmos will fill the boom department

dsberman94 · Jul 29, 2014

The turbos in the ecoboost are decently loud to begin with. Intake and batmos is loud.

I feel it would be fine. Warranty isn't voided with a cat back exhaust, CAI, leveling kit, and is good for any size wheel and tire combo as long as it stays within two sizes. The right warranty also covers aftermarket wheels. Turbos look way too easy to pull out if something ever convinced me to pay $800 for just compressor wheels in turbos for a sound increase only.
