Instant Permagrin

Well finally got home and was able to drive the truck, I started her before I even stepped in the house. I could not be more happy with it. Drives better than my 92 F150 and theres nothing like diesel fumes in the morning.

It's in a lot better shape than what it seemed like in the pictures. Couple things I need to take care of right away but nothing major. Really looking forward to getting a chip on it, I think the shiftpoints could use some adjustments. Im so used to standard trans that I forgot how an auto shifts.

Ill keep ya'll posted as I do things to her. Cheers

You think you have a permagrin now?

Wait till you get a tuner.

Remember, gauges first.

Enjoy the truck.

I plan on doing exhaust, intake, gauges (pyro,boost,trans), then the chip. I wouldnt dare chip it before doing those things. Especially after reading everything on the forum.

The goal: 300HP/600ft/Ibs torque Daily Driver
