Trucks up and running again WooHoo

So 2 months later after a failed smog test for a glow plug code.
The madness started.
New Ford plugs
New Relay
New Valve cover harnesses
Stage one injectors.
F5 Tuner
Gauge led switcher
HPX
FRX
6637 Filter
AIH delete Plug
Quick drain valve
650 custom dash kit with 6 switches
AE ford program.
Full cooling system flush with 50/50 ELC and distilled water.
Air co valve mod.

Still waiting on a few parts from Riffraff but i did put 40 miles on her yesterday and I got da tell ya she never ran or sounded better, Starts right up, smoothed out the rough loud idle and plan hauls the mail.
Thanks for all the advice on this forum I did not post to many questions because all the answers to my concerns were already here.
I have spent plenty of time on gas motor and this was my first run at a diesel and the intimadation factor was put to ease with the help of this site. So Thank you all.

Now what to do to the tranny
