It's possible the RTO may not fit well under the original floorboard. A little fab may be required to fit it properly.

How hard is a dually to single conversion I found a pretty sexy 88 crew long box 250 red rear wheel 7.3 idi 2500 Canadian And I really like duallies but my wife hates them and I don't ever ever tow but they are easier to find crews

Well my only question is fuel comfort and ease of shifting and speed shifting you still say the RTO610 ? Cause I like it so far also you said the 466 has better road manners so how will the 360 be at 600 hp daily and what will my fuel be like

Fuel? well, the less you use per mile, the better your mpg. Idle quality can suffer when the power gets up in the high end. That's why the 466 was a little better with the wild hp ratings. It's kinda hard to explain.
At 600hp or less the 360 will be easy enuf to handle, in driving-manners.

If you're already buying a pump, injectors and a full overhaul, then sure it would make more sense to go for the most. I mentioned my age back a few pages....39. I'm weathered from working out in the elements everyday for 14 plus years.

I must have missed that hope I did not offend you and thx for the reply now I was on the pull off feed back look for the daily puller post I'd like your opinion cause the guys there said that the RTO610 might not be a great candidate
