thanks its taken years and lots cash to get it how i wanted

the gear vendors overdrive is just awesome 1900rpm@120kms

stock springs but i did up grade to bilstein stocks

i had airs bags on my 2002 f250 with the I6 MWM 4.2 DIESEL

would be good to have a yarn about big oil and injectors like you have done to yours.

Hi AussieDave

Can I ask how much your F350 can legally tow and what is the GVM?

Thanks
