I enjoy working on these trux too! I just wish I had the time, money and space to really enjoy my would be hobby/past time. (like I said I am jealous) lol

 

Great job! Glad it went smoothly.

 

Here's a pic of the engine with everything hooked up but the air filter.


And yes, that is the stock DP, or part of it to be exact, I cut a piece out of the stocker so I "could" run the truck. The 3" DP should be here this week.

 

Updated pics of the truck,



I also found out the new DP wont be here till next wednesday, oh, bummer

 

Looks nice! I need to get some center caps for the rear of mine...

 

Nice job man! So what do u wnat for it now?

 

That looks great man! I sure wish I could take it off your hands. I've got another motor when you're ready to move to the next one!

 

I bet money could not buy it after he did all that work himself,built a house one time, after i got through i would find myself sitting around thinking ,we didnt do to bad of a job,makes a person feel pretty good.

 

nicely done Ian. Of course, you know this is only the beginning right?

 

very cool. These diesels are fun to work on, I prefer them over gassers any day. What was the total time it took to do it?

To be totally honest My Dad and I think that we are going to sell mine and keep this one. If I was going to sell it it would be around 6k.

I'm sure I'll find another one to work on soon, It is addictive

......X2.......

Thats right! The first thing will be gauges. and I am straight piping the exhaust, I already gutted the EBPV, and I am in the process of making my own 6637 filter setup.

I started out working on gassers a few years ago, and then Dad bought his first Powerstroke, I was instantly hooked..... And once you start learning the differences, they are actualy easier to work on than gassers.
I didn't keep an exact record of the time I've spent, but I would guess about 50 hrs of actual productive time. Its almost done, I am waiting on the downpipe to come. yesterday I changed the rear differential fluid (It has LS 4.10s) and I am getting the brake drums turned and getting new shocks on the back today.

Thanks to all for the interest in my project, It makes it more fun!

 

Sorry Brownie, I was thinking you had the Ford aluminum rims......

 

Is that a traction bar bracket on the frame rail?

 

That looks really good Ian. Job well done for sure.

 

No, it is actualy for step bars. but you have me thinking........
