My 97 F-350 Rebuild/Repaint Thread
#211
My posts have been few and far between lately as I've been working on the truck as much as possible when I'm not in work and work has been crazy lately.
That said, she's back on the road as of today and drives AWESOME! I got it back together enough for inspection on wed, it failed for a bad steering linkage balljoint (which I hadn't even looked at during the whole rebuild) I fixed it today and it passed! So I took it for a few mile drive on some errands and holy SH|T does this thing have some power! And it doesn't even have a chip yet! Just stage 2's and the s366 running on a stock PCM. It made almost 30 lbs of boost on flat ground, unloaded at about half throttle. I can't wait till the chip comes in now!
Ok, time to get back to work on interior trim and such. Pics and more stories to come soon.
Driving the truck about 2 hours tomorrow though and looking forward to it very much!

Rock on!! I gotta get my butt in gear. I work M-Sat about 12 hours a day, have grad projects to work on, a little 3 year old who is needing more and more daddy time, We are moving into our new house this weekend and have two big shows the next two weekend and there goes Feb! I thought I'd have injectors and HPOP done at least by Jan. The $$ is just sitting there in the bank waiting to be spent....sigh
Anyway, enough about me!! Congrats dude! You and Aaron are motivating me! I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead. LOL!!

Well....since you won't be needing it for a while, you could just send it right on over to your neighborhood hillbilly ( that would be me ) who will put it to good use. Don't want it to sit there and go bad or mold or anything
