Powerstroke214's build thread

Emery19 · Aug 31, 2015

so what are you driving while this thing is...not?

Powerstroke214 · Sep 1, 2015

I took the spring semester off, worked at the truck lot, which is why I had money to "waste" and my boss let me borrow stuff since I first parked mine in January.

I'm running out of borrowing time now, though. Not being there full time(in school again) means that I'm racking up miles, and being a potential insurance liability, and keeping a truck off the lot. Hopefully this is the last week. If not, I may be rolling around on a huffy or Ariats if no truck.

Buy a high mileage Honda. My wife puts a ton of miles on a year running to work and runs a 240,000 mile accord that i paid $500 for. Haven't had a lick of trouble with it and it gets over 30 mpg!

I can bike to class, and hopefully I'll have it back this weekend, so it'll be a nonissue soon

It's going to be like getting a new truck once you get it back.

Definitely need to get the file for 75% nozzles and plugged spill ports on. But I'm happy.

Very happy. And tired…but it was all worth it. Almost "done" with it lol

That's sucks! Only rust here is if your vehicle stays on the coast

Makes sense, derail over.

Older guy in a 6.7 dually thought he wanted to race today. Thought.

Stock 6.7 dually was no match, go figure lol

That aside, I don't know what I like more, the power or the better handling. It's night and day, probably because my shocks were shot
