First... sick truck Beard. Second... she looks damn good and sound damn awesome. Third... any plans for a Dyno run with that motor (if it's already been done and I'm just stupid just let me know).... fourth... go for the Currie Anti-Rock Swaybar (http://www.currieenterprises.com/cestore/antirock.aspx)... and fifth and final, did you beef up the T-Case or Tranny at all? Or are they just stock?

First thanks!

I doubt anyone will let me dyno it.

I already have currie sway bars just need to install them.

We have a good stall converter and transgo full shift kit for the 4r100. Just need to install it.

The tcases are 203 and 205 cast steel and gear driven. I doubt they break very easy.

whoa..zack has a mitered black stack? Guess I have to pay attention to the f-series threads lol

I thought you were anti-stacks when you first got the truck? I have been pondering one quite a bit, But think I'm going standard. Kayla said she' rip it off my truck if I did a stack lol
