[QUOTE="BrewTown, post: 1550421, member: 31811"] Looks like my plans are changing. I've had pick-ups for the last 25 years. I currently have one, and a 5th wheel. Currently my '05 has a blown head-gasket, even though it's studded. Plans were CC 7.3 ZF6. I also have 3 kids, and a Great Dane, and will most likely be getting another (Dane, no more kids) soon. That being said, hard to fit 5 humans and 2 Great Danes in a crew cab. Enter 7.3 Excursion, and switch to a travel trailer. Done with 6 oh's, and 5R's. That said, I'm looking for some direction with a mod plan. I have the 230/100 injectors that will go in, and plan to get a Sam Wyse trans, although a ZF6 swap would be killer, wife can't drive it then. Yes, teach her, I know... 1. I have a gen 1 KC38R, assuming the new truck will need up-pipes, sell that and go T-4? Use it? If T-4, I'd lean 364.5 unless a strong argument was made otherwise, like 366 or 467.7. Don't want to downshift every hill for EGT's. Real world comparisons welcome, or thread suggestions. I love low RPM way more than lag and high RPM power hit. 2. Well aware of the spring weakness, and the wandering while towing. I do have experience with a V10 Ex towing about 8K. Any good threads I should read on the fixes? I do have some 2011 F250 rear leaves, I will search on moving the perch 8 inches like the trucks. Also thinking I may make a torque arm style bar for stopping wrap. Has anyone done a panhard? I'll search... 3. Camper, my 5th wheel is 35'. I don't see going smaller. I would assume 35' to 40'. Is "fixing" the springs and suspension make this a non issue to tow? What I've seen, these campers are 8k to 11.5k, which is fine, the length and cross winds or winds pushing from other vehicles is my concern. Anyone with experience? No issues reading, any good thread suggestions are welcome. Open discussion, call me a moron, whatever. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
