F250HD mods
Ok, i figured this would be the best way to find out what I need to do to my truck instead of creating a new thread everytime I had a question.
Truck has the 460 engine and E40D tranny, are there any mods or deletes I should do to make my truck a better rig? I just did the air horn delete so that's done but is there anything else I should consider? It doesn't appear that my truck has the MAF or an ODB II connector, is this correct?

Correct. Our trucks use speed density so all your computer info comes from the cam.
One way to give it a little extra pep for free is to give it a couple degrees timing. I put mine on 12* BTDC and it seemed to help it get off the line just a little better and run a bit healthier.
These computers are picky so your kind of limited. Free flowing intake and exhaust are your 2 best bets then some head work will be the next best power adder

Exactly! Its pretty straight forward. Its a helluva lot easier than a Chevrolet where ya cant hardly get to the distributor lol.
Another thing I did was find the timing mark that I wanted and highlighted it with a bright colored sharpie (chalk or something bright would be better) then when your timing it, just line up the pointer to the chalk and your done!

That depends on a few factors. Model year and whether or not the truck has California emission equipment. There were a few OBD-I MAF 7.5L trucks out there in late 1997. The 1996 and 1997 7.5L F250/350 trucks with California emissions were OBD-II and MAF.

A cali emissions truck is about as rare as they come as far as Ford trucks lol. You can convert to OBD II and MAF if ya got the cash... Its a pretty pricey process. But I have heard of people taking MAFs from 5.0s and making it work? Not sure what all that entails though or if its worth thr effort

I'm good with the truck the way it is, I basically only use it for hauling my toys around in the summer and winter so it's not my daily driver.
I've got another question, I think I may have found a spare tire carrier for it. I found an ad on Craigslist, he says it should fit but I thought I would ask the experts here to make sure. This is the ad.
