1997 F250 Powerstroke

Mr 85Ranger · Jul 7, 2011

This is my 1997 Ford F-250HD 7.3 Powerstroke, 5spd, 2wd, and 175,*** miles. Picked it up about a year ago for $6000. It's scary fast and TONS of power. I haven't dona any mods to it yet except for cut the exhaust off at the end of the turbo down pipe.

Couple of pics

NICE.

time for a programmer (i loved my EDGE evo on my 97 when it was stock) and get rid of that non-flowing downpipe and put a 3" with a 4" exhaust (i loved my BULLY DOG system on mine). :headbang:

Yea, I plan on getting rid of the downpipe as soon as I can. Probably will put stacks on the truck for exhaust (Alot of people don't like them but I do). As far as a chip/programmer I will probably go with a ts 6 position chip. I would like to find a lift for it even though its a 2wd I like the look of a lifted rig.

TS is definatly the way to go for chipping these trucks you just dont hav the ability to check/clear DTCs. also that chip is going to drain your high pressure oil and put a strain on your fuel system.

good mods to do to gain some HP and drivability is get a highpressure oil pump(HPOP) out of a superduty, thy hav a higher flow rate than OBS ones. also a superduty electric fuel pump conversion is a nice upgrade. :icon_thumby:

PS- diesel mods are VERY addictive so be careful. once you add somthing you get to researching and end up wanting to go bigger.

i would have to agree with that... and its not cheap once you get the small things done

Yea, I know. I've been looking at some stuff that I would like for the truck and the wish/want list keeps growing. +I'm only 20 and that kind of $$ is hard to come by for me.

when i first got the truck i posted i was in high school. within a few months i was taking the motor out and doing a whole rebuild with stage I 160cc injectors, modified IDM, new billet torque converter, and tranny shift kit. later on i blew the stock turbo pushing 40psi of boost, so on went the H2E turbo kit and an intercooler. then the headgaskets decided to go, so studs went in. also had a superduty oil pump, ceramic coated manifolds and up pipes, ported turbine housing, and SCT XCAL3 with custom tunes.

i was also sled pulling ALOT with it, which didnt help things at all. :icon_rofl:

yea nice for pop to give me an empty credit card with WAY too much limit for me to use and pay off. 17 year old kid with a credit card and theinternet is a bad combo. :shok:

but on the plus side i had a pretty quick diesel truck. :headbang:
