finally drove my 84 with the 6.9 for the first time today. i love it, but in 4th gear its like th motor hits a brick wall...

My little 300 sounds beastly (for what it is) until I hit 4th....and its like "Wow....What a let down..."....5th is even worse...:'(

from what my cousin tells me, theres a lil "tweak" i can do to the IP that completely changes the motors dynamic...

IP? Injector Pump?

What did I do to my truck today?
 

Put it up for sale :-X04

Shameless Promotion FTW :-jammin

removed rear gas tank and dropped it off to be fixed, put a new toolbox in the bed, and working on moving the reciever hitch back 9" to where it shud be located. and put new plugs wires and cap and rotor on

let see had to replace fuel pump in front tank so went ahead and replaced the rear and well we decided to lift the bed to do it so decided to put a 2" body lift on it while we were there... pretty happy with the way it turned out prolly gonna go ahead and do the 4" rough country suspension lift as well.i'll post a new pick soon

I changed the trans. & rear diff. fluids.

Put gas in it.....And kept lookin at the diesel pump....:-X15

I finally installed the PEAK back-up camera. Installed quite easily but I'm still questioning the $100 price tag ;/

When I back up towards another vehicle it's in the red zone but when I get out and look, I have three more feet. And the screen is tiny. When I get my audio system installed though it will be on a 9" monitor.

I'd much rather that red zone to be 3' than 3" when my foot slipped off the brake...

Well that is a valid point, but it's hard to explain except you know that message on your door mirror, "objects in mirror are closer than they appear", well, in this case, they are farther than they appear. Just takes some getting used to I suppose.

I actually installed it for my wife, but it is handy I found out today when trying to back up to your trailers so, if it saves my license plate lights from getting bashed in, I guess it was worth it.

The other thing is, it's wireless so if you tuck the transmitter under the bed rail, the picture gets a little fuzzy. You have to let it hang down a little with the antenna sticking out. No big deal, it shouldn't get hung up on anything if I'm careful.

Just drove it to work. I swear between my wife, my son, my truck, and whatever tractor I'm working on, I don't have room in my head to think about anything else. I sit and think about my truck soooo much it's not even funny. I have so many ideas to make it mine, you know? I've decided to get rid of the two-tone and go all black with some flashiness in places. I'm also really toying with the idea of building a good flatbed for it. Mmmmmmmmmmm...
