everything is different. Inner C's different, ball joints different, shafts, wheel bearings different knuckles different. You could swap it in but you'd also need the different steering box to make advantage of the turning radius. This is all on a 10lug, 450 though. Couldn't tell you about a 350...

That would be great! Just to double check you were monitoring the egt sensor at the exhaust manifold correct? This is the other issue I've had trying to find info on this is most people are monitoring "EGT 1" which is the sensor pre DOC and until 2015 was the one closest to the engine. 2015's...

well since I'm getting no where with responses here I reached out to my factory ford rep who sent an email to Detroit. The response he got back from an engineer was this. Factory Tuning the truck begins to defuel when temps hit the following EGT's: 1472 Engine oil temp: 257 Engine coolant temp...

Is it the newer version that includes the clip and oring? Is the tube aluminum or steel? Thanks Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Ok so thanks to you guys I recently bought a 2015 f450, and yesterday was my first tow with it. From my 7.3 days I always want gauges so I put a edge evolution CTS2 in. No tunes just gauges. Truck is all stock. Towing a 21k trailer and just over 30k gross. Truck did great. Pulled great &...

I keep hearing people say this and I've been towing trailers for 20yrs now and not once had a trailer that would "stop itself" on a mountain pass. My goal with this truck is to have something with the exhaust brake and transmission that can maintain a speed in mountains without constantly using...

Oh and the turning radius on this 450 is ridiculous. I always read it was better but this is not what I expected. I thought it was just hype. It's honestly making driving a dually much easier to live with. I'm used to my 99 and this can pull a u turn at least 7-8 feet smaller. Sent from my...

These two things are what keep bringing me back to the 450. I always like to Overkill things. And for the last 3 years I've been on the ragged edge towing this trailer and it's very stressful, which is not what I want after a 10hr day of 4wheeling and I just made it back to the truck at 10pm and...

You are correct. My trailer is over weight for a srw truck. If I went that route I plan on buying a specific size tire that has a 4000lb per tire rating. I have been towing this trailer for 4 years with a srw and no issues. Not saying it's right just what I have been doing. I check tires often...

They are both cclb? Guess I don't understand Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Ok so I think I'm ready to take the leap into a 6.7 I've had 7.3's for years and love them to death but they don't tow my trailer how I'd hope. Mostly on the brakes. My trailer is a 40ft enclosed that put an early bronco and jeep in and tow all over the Rockies and occasionally out of state to...

To go both ways it's a mess. If your really wanting to do a auto swap I will probably be parting my truck with a built auto and floor shift tcase. Everything available in perfect working order. Lost the Engine and bought a crew cab instead of fixing this one. Pm if interested I would pallet...

That is incorrect. On 99-01 trucks autos have an 4 plug that the trans harness plugs into. That plug is not there in manuals which I why I said you have to change the entire Engine bay harness. Also on late 99 to 01 there Engine have an actual coolant temp sensor for the pcm so you have to swap...

It's taller on zf6 trucks. You can't put a Zf in an auto truck without serious work. You can put a auto in a Zf truck easy though. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
