Congratulations on the "new" purchase. Let us know when the "PMS" (PowerStroke Modification Syndrome) kicks in. We like spending other people's money.

Well the itch has started. I do have to examine the exhaust system, the muffler is "expanded" so I am sure there might be some restriction. In the near future, I have some clean up under the hood, (time and dust).
6637 intake at minimun, (currently has K&N oe style)
3" Downpipe , still has oem
kitty delete
block heater cord repair. (bad end)
oil and filters, including fuel filter

Get rid of that K&N style filter, They let dirt in around the seal!

CONGRATS on your new PURCHASE!!!

I had to go around 3.5 hours away, Congrats on your purchase. I paid a little more than I anticipated, but it was drive home ready. PO had just had new tires, ball joints, some fuel lines replaced, front end work and brakes all done.. 3 months ago.

Way to go! Now you have real trucks! Teamrope will have to wait until 25 posts (I think) to post pics, etc. Mind you, there's always the gallery option. We do love pics on this forum.
