I think I have a Powerstroke addiction...

Added another Powerstroke to my fleet - a 2008 F-350 6.4L RCLB, stock drivetrain, tons of new parts and upgrades.  I need to change the tune so that it can tow (currently has an H&S 325hp tune).

Below is how it all started, a previous owner put gas in it:

This is my other Powerstroke, a 2003 6.0L with a ton of mods, puts down ~ 550 to the wheels with a BW S362SX-E non-vgt turbo and 175/30 injectors:

Damn the black truck is nice also. I couldn't find a 4 door 4x4 that was wasn't beat to shit or a rust bucket so I bought a 2x4. Spent its winters in the south up until 4 years ago and I have kept it out of the salt as well. Sure is worthless off road. It was stuck in that picture. Had to pull it with the tractor.

The 7.3 and my current 6.0 both came from Arkansas so rust, initially, wasn't an issue.  The 7.3 was still in great shape when I sold it last October but the 6.0 is showing signs of rust after this past winter.  The 6.4 is an Ohio truck but has been completely rebuilt and only has some very minor rust spots which will be addressed ASAP.  The frame was POR15 sealed and then oil sprayed.

Nice!  Hope all is well with you bud!

Thanks, Ron.  I'm doing okay, I miss having something to do every day besides sitting on my butt.  However, I don't miss Operations one bit.

What's wrong with the Duc? :( 

Probably nothing serious - it's been sitting for a year - but initial diagnosis indicates a weak battery (it has been on a battery tender), bad fuel in the tank (it was treated) is making it very difficult to start.  When it would start previously, placing it in gear killed the engine (pretty sure it doesn't have a kickstand switch).  From a routine maintenance aspect, it definitely needs new belts and a valve adjustment.

Looks like I need to have you work some Duc magic on it.

Dayum! :eek: 

Get at me when you're ready to have your bike back. 

 

Yeah, it's a mess - a good lookin' mess but one just the same.  I'll shoot over a PM ASAP because riding season is right around the corner and no doubt you'll be slammed.
