I also ordered the t case chain and seal kit from bronco graveyard. Jake and BG both had really good customer service.

Thanks Bill. I wasn't wild about them when I first got them put on, but they're growing on me. It isn't as "tough" looking as it was with the old wheel/tire combo, but it rides and drives a lot nicer and the look is growing on me.

That's always good when parts show up before you expected them. It's usually the other way around! LOL!!

Ya bill it has all been getting here pretty quick! And if i get the rest of the turbo kit in by saturday i plan on hitting it hard. My plan is to get the turbo uppipes and exhaust in, put the trany back in and put the chain and seals in the tcase and get it back in. Next week i have to order the e fuel and intercooler and that should be it. I was gonna get a all aluminum 7.3 intercooler from performance radiator. And of course the e fuel from irate.

Gabe, you must have been saving all your pennies, picking up cans, donating blood, selling your teeth and working as a male stripper on the side! You're doing every mod available all at once! LOL!!

haha Very nice Gabe!

Yeah..when you have the funds to do the projects you dont want to do them ALL at once. cuz lord knows you'll wanna start something new when they are all on there!

Or something else unexpectedly breaks and now you're broke AND the truck dont run. lmao
