    Looking for options on an 08

    I can confirm the above statements. The 6.0 and 6.4 fleet on our forest is mostly phased out. While those trucks were in our fleet, they were constantly in the shop for repairs. Injectors and turbos were the biggest portion of work being done. Most of the trucks were on their 2nd motor...

    Torque converter installation troubles

    I am working on a 02', 7.3 Excursion. The transmission is used and from a 150k mile wrecked truck. The original trans has a damaged bell housing from a wreck the Excursion was involved in. I know a built trans is the way to go but the cost of that is not possible currently. Were saving for...

    97 7.3 engine swap or not...

    This. My brother and I did a 4x4 conversion to a clean ex-cab 2wd we got a deal on. We used a PMF RSK and not a sky. With both trucks side by side and tools(torch,grinder,welder) it's not that bad of a project. You can find the thread over on PSN.

    4.10s, 3.73s, or 3.55s?

    I had 3.55, 35's, and E4OF in my eclb when it was TTB. With it mostly stock and a crummy tune (edge). I hated how it towed. On the flats CA HWY 99 or I5 it was ok. But going over CA 58 or I80 I had to run between 2nd and 3rd. This was with a 24' travel trailer or my 18' deck over. I...

    Manual Option

    I used DP Tuner for the re-flash to manual on my auto PCM. It works just fine. It took a week or so from the time I sent the pcm in until I got it back.

    Hydroboost Conversion Done

    I thought I might help a little with the brake light switch issue. I recently finished this conversion and ran into the Brake Light Switch interfering with the shifter cable mounting as explained in the post I quoted above. I was not able to find a PN for a ford part via rock auto. My local...
