What Next?
I've had my '03 X for a few weeks - X has 88K & 7.3.
Here is what I've done & am doing:
CT Performance (Cary)
1. *Full front & back with X & B codes, dual Bilsteins, dual Fox on Steering.
2. *Tymar, 3 gauges, 4" MBRP 409
3. *Will also get Tuner from
Cary at CT Performance
Will head to junk yard to find '99-'06 F250/350 Rear sway bar with attachments
Will either put 18x9 rims or keep stock 16's & put on 33" tires (a little worried about sidewall flex on 33"s with 16" rim)
Changed fuel filter & Oil (Motocraft).
Had stealer ship run diagnostics. *(Will have forum member Toreador Diesel run more complete diagnostics).
So now what?
We will be taking this truck on a couple long (1000 mile +) road trips this Summer. *I want to remove most of the mechanical risks as it is a 10 year old truck.
Please give me suggestions or a list of things to check/work to do.
I'm assuming belts, hoses, radiator flush. *What else?
Thanks for help.

I like them they have a little more road noise then the old design. They are great in the rain and on the sift sandy beach. I am running them at 60 PSI all the way around they seem to ride and handle fine but I have only put 100 miles on them. I'm going on a 800 mile trip this weekend so ill see how they do on a ling trip and post back.
