Message: [QUOTE="Dieselboy., post: 608579, member: 1232"] Picked up another truck, gonna use it as a daily driver and tow pig for the race truck. Truck is an ex parts truck from the local Ford dealer. They owned it since new so technically I am the "first" owner. Truck is a 2000 extened cab short box 2 wheel drive XLT has more options the my other truck LOL with 442,xxx on the odometer ! Still runs like a champ. Scored it for a rediculously low price, all it needed was batteries, a front end (rear ender) and a windshield Her she is when I brought her home [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img837/2407/42789122.png[/img] Removed the canopy right away [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img15/59/95707995.png[/img] I kept my front end off my 02 from when I did the 05 front end so on she went to fix the smashed up bumper and grill. 05 lights and HIDs will follow [img]http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/2498/43441566.png[/img] Tinted Tails [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img266/6015/23583888.png[/img] Cleaned the interior [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img534/5601/30829384.png[/img] First thing was a chip as I have spares kicking around. (ya I have a smoke and lope :p) And new badges LOL [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img585/8787/63755525.png[/img] Had some spare exhaust parts laying around so she got a 4" turboback immediately [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img145/3976/77703220.png[/img] [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img27/4186/98953108.png[/img] I was pleased with how much quieter it is incab compared to the RC. Glad I didnt do another stack. I then decided that I would need gauges, so I bought autometers newest line the Elite series which is awesome, has a warning lo/hi and peak recall so I got a 0-2000* pyrometer and replaced one of the banks in the RC and took the 0-1600* gauge and put it in this, also installed a glowplug light and PTM the 3 pod. Boost and trans are next. [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img594/303/50914960.png[/img] This is the new elite pyro. Yes its over 1800* Oops Racetruck problems [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img29/3356/54934967.png[/img] This was by far the filthiest motor I have ever seen, So I cleaned her up a bit. Did a CCV vent, Painted the IC pipes and fabbed up an intake and put in fresh battries [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img12/593/93993024.png[/img] [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img266/1820/52143282.png[/img] Next was a score, buddy swapped the tires on his truck and gave me the ones he had to burn off on the race truck,I figured hell if I can find a nice rim Ill keep em. So I found a set of rims and slapped em on. Tow pigs rolling on 20s now. Before new rims [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img844/2642/80351218.png[/img] Picked up a set of factory 08 20s. Tires are a 275/65R20 Pirelli Scorpion [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img833/9282/51229745.png[/img] After [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img248/2185/54767660.png[/img] 2nd Angle of new wheels [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img844/5083/33793275.png[/img] With the hubcaps [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img89/8724/67773328f.png[/img] Plans for the weekend, is to yank the box and start fabbing up hangers to lower the rear of the truck 4" to match the front. Also have to replace 1 broken leaf. Also am thinking of fabbing up a set of airag mounts. And will be throwing on the hidden hitch. Something like this [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img443/238/63642449.png[/img] While its off Im gonna build my own fuel system like the RC, Dual SD pumps and a 10mic/2mic into a reg return. These are the parts Ive ordered for the fuel system. I love JIC fittings for ease of instalation and removal so I ordered all these from Summit. Anyone thats using stock SD pumps pay attention the the compression to JIC fitting I found. Just filed off the lip and it slides right on, had them on the Race truck for 20000km now at 67psi with no problems.

My RC has a healthy modded 17* and well 442000 on the stock HPOP it isnt fairing as well. Seeing as the RC has gen3 it has more then enough HPOIL I will match the tint on the front windows, then wouldnt mind throwing in a few parts I have laying around to firm up the shifts. In the future a set of Nates stage 1s and the upgraded wicked wheel. [/QUOTE]
