Iv got a cheap $15 Amazon dongle and whatever is the equivalent to Torque Pro on iPhone. It wouldn't tell me much about my 7.3 but had a ton of input from my 6.0. Theres just not near the electronics on a 7.3

Aarons Ranger is 2wd, but a 4bt 4x4 would be awesome! I know where theres an ext cab 5 speed 4x4 Ranger sitting at a dealer in Eville tho

How is the house coming? If things work out with me getting move to Covington, I may be able to come up one weekend and give you a hand!
The house is coming along. It's just slower than I'd like it to be. I was hoping to be in around Christmas, but that's looking like less and less a possibility all the time. It's just killing me not being able to devote a lot of time to it. I guess that's life...

Come on up any time. You're always welcome here.

Looks like my area. We only got 6" of the white stuff though. I guess its time to wash up the red truck and put it away for the winter.

Touché lol


Heck, Iv had so low interest in the 6.0l, Im considering keeping it as my DD to keep the miles off the 7.3 and "possibly" putting a small lift and tires on it after the dually project. I took it to a dealership for craps and giggles and they offered me $3000 trade in... Ill yank the motor and drop a Cummins in there before I let it go that cheap. Heck, Id make it a parts truck before I did that!

I wouldn't mind having the 6.0 if I had the money to "Bullet Proof" it.

I COMPLETELY agree Bill. I have even been considering a 6.0 for the wife. I have been doing a TON of reading just for fun, but it seems once they are addressed with the bulletproofing stuff, they are pretty reliable and tough. We have one at the winery where I work and it has had the EGR deleted, BPD Oil Cooler, and various other small mods. It is a blast to drive. I love it. I see them all the time for 10-12k...that and 5k to do the stuff and you have a pretty stout truck.

Aaron, you said you "like to work on stuff". Why not have one? I bet you'd make it pretty darn trustworthy.
