just bought a truck!

Hey everyone, i suppose i can be a part of the family.

I just picked up a 2003 F-250 with the 7.3 yes 7.3 in it. Im so in love.......

I think a dagger to the heart would have been less painful these payments are going to be but what the hell. I do not have a pic of it yet but here is a link to the dealer photos

http://autos.yahoo.com/usedcars/sear...934652&n=0&c=9

Its a beaut!

There will not be any mods to it for a year other than a rediculous sound system and a carPC

Hey, would love to see the pics of your truck but the link you posted doesn't work.

The link you clicked on has expired. It pointed to a Web site that was a member of the Commission Junction network and has since been deactivated or temporarily suspended. We apologize for any inconvenience.

A 7.3 in an 03? It looks really sharp. ( Can't say the same for what ever that car was) Good choice on the new ride.

Hope you have your guages. EGT's will get up there pretty fast.

Things to get in this order.

Guages (EGT/Boost/Trans (if auto)) (EGT Pyro @ Pre-Turbo)
Intake
Exhaust
Tuner (your predator) or chip
BTS Valve body (Eventually a BTS Trans)

Then the other Mods.....Fuel/Oil/Turbo/Etc...

You do not want to get your EGT's above 1200* for any length of time

Also you probably have PMR rods and do not want to go above 400 RWHP, none of the above 5 will get you close.
