Thanks. I will research a little more for a kit without axle swap.

I've got bags in the back and sick of the ride. Anything out for the 99? Years ago I've heard you had to have an 05 axle to have coilovers, at least bolt on.

So, how hard and what price would it be to add a muffler to a 4" turbo back MBRP? I only ask as I am trying to find an inspection staition that will pass without a muffler and get the troopers off my ass.

Good deal, Thanks man. Wish I ordered longer terminals...

Cool, wasn't sure as I have always pulled them. Thanks.

I have a 4" MBRP and it is pretty loud, sounds good though.

Maybe a dumb question, I have always pulled batteries to charge. I want to leave my batteries hooked up and use the 2 bank charger to keep them charged as I only drive my truck a few times a month. Can I leave the 2 batteries hooked up as well as using the charger on them? It's a 99 7.3 if that...

Thanks. I will double check power steering and oil cooler. PS is sloppy as all get out so maybe thats it...

I cannot pinpoint whats leaking. All fluid levels are good. I thought it may be power steering as I need a new gearbox but that doesn't seem to be the culprit. I have checked the HPOP and its dry all around. I had a trucks width spray on my driveway (maybe a quart) and the only place that has...

No more than 500hp. Budget is whatever I need but at different stages. I have to get the motor checked out first and if that is good than I can start. As for what I really want to do, just have a good reliable truck that I can have fun with. It's not a daily driver and I have plenty of time to...

10-4, thanks man.

What do you mean? I've had diesels before but never really did much to them as they were my work trucks. I am just asking what to start with. I've got to clean the motor up first and than go from there.

It's a project. I am not dropping 5K and done. I have stages which requires funding which requires more work and saving cash. I was guessing a stage 2 trans was around 3K but guess I was way off. The other 7K bought the truck.

Thanks man. Already have gauges and ordering a 4" exhaust, just not sure which. I want a deep sound like my old cummins had. This truck is basically one I have been after for a while.

Lol, 3K is just to start on motor. It's a'99 and 500HP is plenty. I've been looking at sun coast trans and figured that would be next. I basically want a something that I can run hard when I want, be dependable and pull a load when needed. I had a budget of 12K and have 5K left over. Figured 2-3...
