    Question First Long Haul

    I would still take the diesel over the ram cause that motor will outlast that ram 10 times over. I agree with Joe, open her up! If you havnt already, DIY intake and 4" turbo back exhaust with no muffler and cat IF yer state lets ya. Slow acceleration is key. I like to keep mine under 2k rpm when...

    Column shifter needs adjusted

    Well I tore my column down a lil and did find two torx screws slightly loose. Wasnt enough to make a diff. The shifter is connected to a long shaft that is on top of the column and goes down towards the floor. There are two plastic bushings held in by two half clamps. These bushings are worn out...

    Column shifter needs adjusted

    Well my column shifter on my 99 is acting up. Sometimes in park it wont start so I have to put it in neutral to start it. A couple times I've put it in park but it wasnt and when I get out of the truck, it starts rollin backwards!:rant. Any pointers on adjusting it? Never done it before and...

    Rusty, leaky oil pan fix!! Interesting!!

    Can you remove the oil pan no prob with the motor still in the truck?? I think I would rather just spend the money and buy a new pan and paint it really good IF the old pan doesnt already have pin holes in it. My oil pan is rusted really bad on my 77 F250 4x4. It actually leaks from pin holes. I...

    Where do you fit in?

    Couldnt have said it any better myself! Im actually a big worry wart when it comes to safety. If I just dont feel comfortable passing someone slower than me when its snowy, I wont. I will just go with the flow. Thats why if its nasty out, leave a lil earlier just in case. Most of my driving...

    Crate Engines

    Wonder if you could drop a mamba 6.0 into a 7.3 truck with no probs? Or most of the computer stuff not work right?

    Said goodbye to Mrs TG's father today.

    Sounded like an awesome guy, especially the stories of his war time duties. My gpa was in WWII and never talked about all that happened. He shot the big howitzer guns. A good family friend of ours who just retired from the air force actually got him to tell his war stories. I salute you and your...

    Should i buy it!??

    Is the carfax the same was oasis report?? I'd buy a 6.0 if it was the later models. But I would be really doin my homework before I bought it.

    Gidday from a Western Australian...

    Depending on what you do to the 6.0 like exhaust, it sounds like a jet engine. The variable turbo just sounds cool. Loud wooshing sound. My cousins sounds mean. Its got turbo back 4" exhaust with a 6" tip. And hes got a chip on it. I havnt had the pleasure of riding in it but it will roast the...

    Announcement Brand new Ford owner!

    Look at the door tag on the drivers side. I believe some engine and other drive train components? Someone else will chime in with more info. My gf has an early 99 and it was made in march of 98 I believe.

    Gidday from a Western Australian...

    It was sort of an improvement, more power, better fuel mileage BUT they cheapened them up a bit and the 6.0's would blow headgaskets if you put a big chip on them and the egr's are junk and would also blow headgaskets. Once you head stud them they are hot rod motors. My cousin has an 05 F250...

    Announcement Brand new Ford owner!

    Welcome! Glad you joined up. I'd say you did very good at gettin that truck. Hard to find one that low on mileage. Lots of good info on the 7.3's. Intake and Exhaust is what I would do to it. Let her breath in and out. If its got a muffler just wack it off. Big diff. Is yours an early 99 or late...
