great picture!

 

I dig that whip mount

 

Thanks for my new background pic

 

Thanks guys

 

Oh hell yeah! That truck looks great.

 

Awesome. What light bar you running?

 

truck looks great!

 

Thanks again guys

It's a cheaper brand I have never heard of "3Sixty Performance" or something. It's probably a China made one that multiple companies re-brand as their own. Looks the same as Lifetime LED's bars as well.

Pic from yesterday on the first day of our mountain biking trip in the mountains:

just saw the new pics. truck is looking real good! I need to get mine leveled and on some 35's at least. And I want to start getting into the motor some more.

oh and PS..your tranny..gimme or else!

 

Send me a good condition BTS 4R100 and the ZF6 is all yours, lol.

You on PSA, or PSN at all?

 

I think I am, I haven't been on either in quite a while. I believe I am TowPig on PSN

 

Why would you want to trade out that ZF6!?! Although I have heard the BTS 4r100 is pretty nice.

Truck is looking fabulous!

 

Don't get me wrong, I love it, and I'll more than likely keep this trans.

With 35's and 3.73's, it's just 4th and 5th gears (5/6) that suck for ratio in these transmissions: brap, brap, brap, braaaapppp, braaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

Towing is okay with it, but in the mountains the 4th (1:1) to 5th (OD) gap was a PITA. Granted I'm running pretty high EGT tunes at the moment, but still.

I'll be adding 238/100's, 38R, bellowed uppies, fuel system and traction bars this winter. I think a water/meth system, GearVendors OD (or regear to 4.10's) and DD clutch would make a sick pulling setup...

PS - Congrats on the ZF5 swap! Hard to deny the fun of rowing your own gears in a turbo diesel.

 

So nice. I need to get into a clean 7.3. Over to PSN to search for one right now.

 

Thats a good point. I understand your concerns. I have that a little bit with mine since I only have 3.55s that came in the automatic trucks instead of the 4.10s which most manuals had. I will probably just swap out the gears as that would be the cheapest.

Sounds like a nice setup you have in mind! Wish I could justify the same but I will likely just do some cosmetic stuff to mine.

Thanks! I cant wait to take it for a spin.

 

Under the knife again!

 

Looks good. What's next?

Btw I now understand fully your zf5 concerns. Lol

 

Oops forgot to update this. How do you like the ZF5 Mr Beard? I'm hoping you're not regretting your choice!

Truck has new OUO Adjustable Weld-On Traction bars (best money spent, ever), rear pinion seal, water pump (2nd in 2 years), front axle shaft U-joints, fuel bowl drain valve o-rings, and rad guard/weather front installed for winter. I'm hoping I'm done the repairs for this winter!

 

Looks good dude! Those wheels and tires look awesome! And the exhaust looks good too! keep up the good work!

 

Thanks man!

 

Jealous on those traction bars. Always wanted some for my 6.4 when i had it.

No I love the Zf5, I think something isnt quite right with it because its becoming hard to get into 1st and reverse, as well as 2nd and 4th. All in all one of the best things I have done to the truck so reliable now.

 

So much diesel goodness in this thread. Awesome truck sir.

 

Looking good! Zach check your bushing from the clutch pedal to the master cylinder...I bet its parting company with you. (under the dash and its to the right of the brake pedal)

 

Yeah I did the heim joint modification. I do need to fix my pedal box bushings though.

 

Sometimes it likes to be a drama queen...
