baptizo Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 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: Oh, and the Duc is dead.

alansz400 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 That white truck looks badass. I got a 01 with a 7.3. Towed the dump trailer all weekend full of fire wood and can hardly tell its pulling it. All stock and 200k but pulls like a freight train.

baptizo Posted March 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 My first diesel was an early 1999 7.3 but sold it late last year and miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alansz400 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited March 28, 2017 by alansz400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baptizo Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
