Yes she does

 

Gave the 6.0 a good stretching. Took a 100+ mile trip with about 5000lbs behind her. Deltas were as normal daily driving but actual temps were in the 200's. Hills, traffic, and interstate. It performed as expected.

 

Inspected My RiffRaff boots, Changed oil, Installed RiffRaff Sticker, (The darn "a" ripped. I don't generally like stickers anyways.) Took Car Seat and whipped it through the yard, (1 down, 1 to go) installed booster seat, Gave her a sip of Howes, shoveled bark/dirt out of bed, and rinsed it off at the wash.

 

I miss my truck...

 

Hmmmm..... I might need to re-think straight piping!

 

i should change the title of that video...its not so much straight piped as a downpipe and 2 feet of pipe...lol

 

Oh, I see! LOL

My truck has sat for 8 days now.

 

Haha yeah that was on a saturday when i knew i had my new exhaust coming later that week...we decided to torch the factory exhaust off. Sounded SOO good but man that turbo whistle was ridiculous. I thought i was gonna go deaf on the way home...the engine is actually very quiet with the exhaust like that, it was just the turbo whistle that you hear

 

With running the kids around mine hardly gets a chance to cool off.

 

I put the Monster on blocks and started pulling top of engine off...probably gonna end up doing HG and studds.

 

So it has been a while since I have posted on here, because real life has kept me busy. But recent updates to the truck include:


New Sony stereo
Cobra CB
Dual Antenna Install (Fire Stick II 4')
- One Antenna is for the CB
- One Antenna is for the Stereo
- Both are functional
- Heavy Duty Springs installed on antenna's so that they will flex for offroading
Overhead running lights installed
- Wired into parking lights and alarm
Blacked out the Grille and Front Bumpers


Other than the aforementioned list it has just been routine maintenance to the truck. All fluids and filters are changed regularly, ONLY Motorcraft filters used!

 

welcome back! i love your truck

 

Thank you, it has been a little while since I have been on the forums, but although life might keep me busy, there is always time for my truck

 

Took the 6.0 for a beat yesterday. Put on about 100 miles, did some 0-70mph WOT pulls. Stopped at sister in laws to do some work, when leaving truck smokes again for a little while just after starting up and goes away within a block. It acts kind of like valve seals but when watching the mirror for the smoke to clear up I notice puffs at the very end before it goes away completely. Almost make me think it might be an injector dumping some oil somehow?

Another thing I notice, when I start the truck it runs super smooth and very very quiet for about 30 seconds and then start to sound like a normal diesel after that. This happens every time, cold start, hot start, any start.

Smoke is always blue.

 

I'm wondering if you have an injector hanging, or broke? How is your oil?
