Trucks

Different pic doesn't look quite as tall .I think with nothing to scale it makes it a little tougher to tell how high it is.

If there's an extra leaf it's there from the factory. I'll take a pic when I get home , I wouldn't know what the factory leafs look like or how many. I've only been under my truck lol

Thanks man. I was past due to upgrade from my little single cab ranger when I bought this truck.

And have been planning to get the front windows tinted , just haven't got around to it. Most of my spare cash goes to lifting "supplies", and my other money pit ...

Anybody selling a 2500 Silverado with a duramax? in particular a high country or gmc Denali? 2016 or newer?

Things are hard to find. I neeed a crew cab and i like bucket seats so a Silverado LTZ will do it as well. My current truck won’t fit a car seat and we are having this baby in February.

Picked up a 2020 F250 Tremor. 7.3 Godzilla pushrod. Ford hasnt made a pushrod since '96 and its some thing they do really well. Easy maintenaince and can get to EVERYTHING really easy. Some thing to be said about simple power. 4.30 gears front and rear, lockers front and rear. 35" tires factory and has a 21,000 lb tow rating from the factory. This may be the only truck i dont ever modify suspension wise. Its huge as a birth right. All truck, no nonsense, no electronic nannies, no crappy cylinder deactivation. Should be reliable for a long long time.

Its a new platform so mods are scarce. But Brian Wolfe, racer and former Ford engineer has a crate 7.3 he dropped in a mustang. And simple mods has this 445 cu in big block pushing 930hp NA. Thats a first. Idk of any NA engines producing that. I think he prepped it for a SC application and is running 1700hp now. So skies the limit
 
Ford trucks are all I've ever owned for a truck. First one was an 02' F150 long bed, then an 04' f250 6.0 diesel (I know the 7.3 was the better engine but I NVR had an issue with mine) then I got a 93' F150 with the inline 6 (super weak but reliable) and now it's an 02' ranger. The first 2 trucks were for work. I have to be honest, out of all of those trucks I like my Ranger the best. It does what I need it to do, basically haul dirtbikes and never break down, lol

Love my American stuff. Huge source of pride
 
Yea man, I hear that. That new truck you got is super nice, did you still keep the older one you had?
Oh yeah definitely. My aging beast affectionately referred to as bluferd, the highly modified blue f150, ive had going on 12 yrs. Has alot of life left in it. At this point its as part of me as my own right hand. Still got my tahoe also. I can rebuild both if need be. The electric era is coming but im not coming with it. Ive got enough v8s to carry me a long long time :)

Do you feel that Ford is avoiding the 7.3 diesel due to a conflict of interest between International and Ford's "powestroke" engine? I was thinking that there has to be a reason, I know the 6.7 is about as close to the International as you're going to get, but why not just do the 7.3 diesel again?

Emissions.
 
Yea, didn't even think of that. I'm not a fan of Def fluid myself. I noticed that 7.3 gas still produces a nice sound, any exhaust mods planned out for the one you have?
First time i ever did a custom build cats all the way to the back. Not a catback outta the box. Custom. I bought a flowmaster scavenger Y pipe to bring the 2 in to 1. Then ran that in to a Borla XR1 mini then straight pipe all the way back to a full size Borla XR1. Thats the offroad racing muffler from Borla if u didnt know. Its meant to be used in racing events that have decibel limits over open headers.

Stock form it had 2 huge mufflers and 3 resonators. Well all of thats gone now lol.

Wasnt much out there cuz the platform is so new so i fabbed my own. Never done that before and it was pretty fun. It sounds like a big block. Put it that way. Since big blocks are a rare thing it stands out from the crowd

I ended up not needing the reducers. Welded the flowmaster scavenger y pipe right up to the pipe that brings the 1st muffler down 2 in to 1. Pretty cool technology in how it scavenges the exhaust gases to produce more power. And as u can see these Borla XR1s are flow thru perforated pipes. No chambers, no baffles. Proven to actually outflow a piece of straight pipe
 
I have a 7.3 f250, and I love it. Pulls an excavator and dump trailer full of concrete I tear out daily. I would not, not buy a truck because of trailer brakes. Just means the owner knew what he was doing when he decided he needed to pull stuff and didn’t want to rely on the truck to stop the load he was pulling.
Don't ever get rid of that 7.3 man, they're fucking gold!! I'm a diesel guy, that 7.3 is one of the best ever made

It's basically a rig motor if I'm not mistaken, an international motor similar to a big rig. Then they did that powestroke 6.0 which was sub par to that 7.3
