:shok:I know which one it was. I watched that thread closely, that was a sweet build. Why the heck did you trade that? They're both sweet...but still!

cause I wanted a diesel to tow with, my gasser just wasn't up to the demands I was putting on it. Besides I still have the truggy. Hell this diesel is getting better mileage then the explorer did lol

Maybe with the turbo but that would be down the road.....cut the stock 2.5" pipes and muffler off yesterday and straight piped it with 3" as well as replaced the air filter that was one of the worst I had ever seen. Also changed the right side exhuast manifold as it was broke in half. Replaced the rubber filler neck on the rear tank. Still lots of little things to do yet...but getting there. Oil change is today.

You know whats funny? Me and a few buddy's were having a discussion on tow rigs and my ideal one was everything you got on that F-350! I'm jealous thats an awesome truck you got there.
