    Do you clean your engine?

    I just use our steam cleaner and blast the grime off. My doesnt leak a drop of oil except that normal buildup around the boots. Grime around here protects our trucks from the damn salt they use haha.

    Back to the game!

    Welcome! Def post sum pics of that truck. For some reason I've always wanted a tow truck business. I think I would prefer a rollback though so I could do other jobs. Sucks there are already tons of towing companies around here. There are some sweet F650's around here that i would love to have...

    1947 Ford 2N

    Very nice! Love the old Fords all fixed up, its rare to see them nice lookin. Most are beat to hell and still being used daily around here. We still work on lots of 8n's, 9n's and 2n's around here. We get to restore an 8n this winter for a customer. I will try to post some pics. Luckily the...

    Question Which Chip

    I run autometer ultra lites. I have the triple gauges, egt, boost and trans temp. Some people install a diff temp gauge on their trucks but dont know how good those work. I would do DIY intake, 4" turbo back exhaust and gauges first. THEN do the chip. I would even do some of the DIY mods in the...

    video about how much better diesels are

    I see so many diesel swap projects on craigslist now more than ever. Mainly cummins swaps. Hell, I'd do one if I had a money tree. Most of the powerstrokes out there have over 200k on them and still goin. If that doesnt say somethin about diesels I dont know what will.

    Lets see those SuperDuty Trucks!! (OFFICIAL PICTURE THREAD)

    Finally got some updated pics of my truck and my girlfriends truck together! She had to put new rims on her truck due to a rim blowing apart. She also put new kumho tires on it. They are eagle alloys. Her truck is identical to mine except its an early 99 lariat and has alot less miles on it...

    Converter choices

    I'd say transgo would be good for ya. The tranny place here in town installs them alot on the powerstrokes and dodges around here and most are the construction trucks hauling skid loaders and other heavy loads. I plan on installing a kit eventually. Its the only one I've heard of so thats all I...

    97 rim up grade to 04 ?

    I would have to say the E series vans up to 91 or 92 would fit your 97 F250. Thats when they changed body styles on the vans from the 80's style Ford truck look. I have an 84 E250. I guess they call them brick noses? Or is that the body change for the trucks starting in 88 and up? 80 to 87...

    97 rim up grade to 04 ?

    That would be wayyy too easy if they bolted right up. Makes me mad they dont work. I have 3 older 3/4 tons and my 99 3/4 ton and none of the wheels will fit my truck. Ford just makes it difficult!

    SES light

    Well I forgot to mention I did disconnect the wastegate. Wonder if its an overboost prob or close to it? Its never had wot, just i stand on it harder than usual sometimes.

    SES light

    I noticed when I almost floor it or floor it, the SES light comes on. I usually floor it when I want to get on to the highway or if someone in a lil car is makin me mad. As soon as I get up to speed and drive normally, the light will go off about 30sec to a min later. When the light is on...
