Powerstroke214's build thread

[Powerstroke214]

Well, I finally moved up from my Tacoma!
Since I'm a broke college student, I won't be doing anything too extreme, just coolant filter, blue spring upgrade and EGR delete for now. In the future(Xmas hopefully) I have plans to do studs and an oil cooler(deltas reached 14° at wot) and all the other necessary updates.

Right now it's at the shop getting a new injector, once I pick it up(hopefully Friday or Saturday) it's going to get brakes and a coolant filter.

here are a couple pics I have.

Any suggestions/tips on cheap(er) upgrades and mods would be appreciated :thumbsup:

Congrats! I love the white trucks. This color scheme is one of my favorites.

Hey guess what!! I pick up my coolant filter head tomorrow so I'll have your stuff together whenever you are ready


Truck looks good btw. Few cosmetic mods and you'll be set buddy.

Sweet! I'll get w/ you soon, probably after this weekend.

Cosmetics I'm not sure about, I do like the white and tan, but I don't know what else to do to it. Tires and a level(hopefully) are in the plans.

I just can't wait to go pick the darn thing up! Went to the mechanic yesterday.

My family actually likes it, so it may stay for a little, lol. I don't know, I like the protection, but it's kind of an eye sore. Probably sell it and buy something else to go fast or a monitor(probably the best idea)

When I'm no longer broke I want to do injectors(probably need them) and a turbo. That's my "build" sorry if it doesn't fit your definition of a build.

Congrats on the truck. It's alright if it's a slow build especially on a college kid budget.

Nice ride! Looks like mine when I got it.

Thanks, yea maybe in a year or so I'll do something like 175/stock and a 62. Something kinda mild.

Damn…V-ice has come a long way!

Looking at some 6.0 Harley wheels at work, if they can be refinished at a decent cost. I think they'll look pretty good on there with a level and 35s.
