Bought my guy (yes he is a guy not a she) on June 24, 2013 picked him up later in the week.

His name is Rudolph because he is RED, he leads the way pulling our trailer, and the inventor of the diesel engine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Diesel
After searching for about a month we found what we wanted and more importantly (what my wife said we needed) https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post13615357

This is what he looked like (notice the windshield gasket in the upper corner:

Protecting the carpets with left over flooring.

 

I put these on all vehicles or something like it, should help with stones.

Look there's a guy in a red shirt taking a picture.

 

Why a resto mod?

I like keeping things stock whenever possible, but if there is an aftermarket item that is a noticeable and quantifiable improvement and still affordable like:

Any Suggestions?

Don't want to change:

Stock wheels like them as they are.

Who did you send your injectors to?

Drop in a 38R with a replacement Riffraff turbo wheel along with the 6637.

The Injectors went to a young stud that works in my independent diesel shop near the house. He was a diesel mechanic at a FORD dealer for 12 years and he gave me a lot of ideas.

I also have to thank a lot of great people here on FTE:

How do you like the LED fog lights

 

FWIW the 26 row 6.0 cooler is equal to the 31 row in cooling capacity so if you can find one of those instead go for it..

 

Thanks Chris.

 

I am amazed at the output and only $90.

 

It actually superseded the 31 row. It's the newest version.
