Ha ha, this is great. I want to join the group. Anyone know what number is next available?

 

I'm not addicted. I can quit anytime I want.

Officially, the affliction is called PMS - Powerstroke Mod Syndrome.

Yeah, the first present under the tree this year was a T4 turbo mount and a brand new S366 charger. SO????

 

Mine was a FRX and fuel bowl O-Ring kit. Next will be the Hutch/Harpoon mod. Then will be the Bellowed up pipes. Then who knows from there.

 

That's how it starts... Back when I was coming up it was the 'free' mods like zoodad and the cheap stuff like 6637, muffler delete and 10k mods - the Gateway Mods to the hard stuff. I mean, I really thought I could handle it - you know, my friends were all doing it and they seemed fine. Pretty soon, it was a coolant filter, EVANS coolant, upgraded CAC boots, a pod full of gauges and a chip, then bigger injectors. Eventually, I updated the front end and got a big 'ole bumper. Then the engine broke. We could've done a nice, stock rebuild - but nooooo, Mahle Pistons, forged rods, 910 valve springs, chromoly push rods, head studs, bellowed up-pipes, GTP 38R, plenum inserts, Southbend Con OFE clutch, NEW AC code injectors and a bunch of shiny paint later - I had an engine that cost more than 1/2 what the old truck was worth.

And this is just one of my PSD's............

Luckily, I have an extreme amount of self control and unlike some people - I can just quit cold-turkey. I mean, yeah we haven't even installed the S366 yet and sure, as soon as I have a little money I'm gonna get some bigger injectors and a bigger turbo - but its not like I have a problem, right?

Btw, my dealer Clay said he gave me a good deal for being such a good customer. Surely, he wouldn't do that if he thought I had a problem. Everytime I get a little extra money, he always helps me spend it on something good. And we have these meetings called RRE and regional GTG's where we all get to talk about trucks and stuff and show new guys what they can do - but its not like we are pushers, these guys always WANT to spend their time and money, we don't hold a gun to anyones head and tell them they NEED boxes with yellow tape.

Ok, when is that meeting?

 

The only reason my PMS is allowed was because of a code one morning and the Misses saying ok. I do have leaky up-pipes so she is ok with that one for next month.

But like you, I could leave well enough alone. But, I need to install the stuff I have first. According to a new found friend, the hutch/harpoon mod should be fairly inexpensive, so that one should be soon as well. Then again, who am I kidding. I can't stop. 😱😱😱😱😱😱

 

My head is telling me "Go with the AC 160 stock-nozzle injectors. They're proven, they've been engineered for the HO T444E, they are all the power you really need, and they won't strain the engine".

My other head says "Dude, 100% nozzles and a 38R will give you tunnel-vision from the acceleration".

This is gunna cost me....

 

HA HA, Let me tell you about PMS..It starts by joining FTE,in the search to maintain and repair of our PSD's. Then, the search for better fuel economy,(HA)..Then the smaller things come into play,IE,intake mods,6637,now I need the exhaust to let it out..Read more at FTE, hum,I need guages and a chip and WOW.Now I really have the bug.Then RRE comes along and I get to look at all the other trucks and what has been done,hum....Now I need injectors (in the name of preventive maintenance) 250000 on stock..know what I mean?? Step up injectors and guess what, yep, bigger turbo...With all my new found power, I read more..what transmission is the weak spot??
Okay,BTS was my answer..Ok I should have stopped then but I am bittin...
PMR rods 400hp NO WAY..Kinda like Rayback of wrestling "Feed me more"...I need forged rods, now,back to preventive maintenance (thats how i convinced my better half)..After all now I want a tow rig/race truck (what am I thinking)...NEW MOTOR!!!!YEA.. Well after 2 motors and several $$$$$$$$$$$$..You guessed it, bigger injectors, Larger turbo....Lets not talk about the other stuff,lift,tires&rims,4.56 gears,bumpers,interior...

Any way,PMS, I unlike Jason, I NEED HELP....I will say, I now have my rice burner,cummings,duramax killer and tow rig.....THANK-YOU FTE

 

when i hear that rumble of a 7.3 rolling by i immediately get what feels like my heart skipping beats... and my ears take me on a journey under the hood picking out what needs to have a wrench on it. and every once in a while... i hear one... maybe owned by others like me... that i cant hear crying for a wrench... but my mitts wrapped around the steering wheel... and my right foot on the floor.

yah my name is chris... and i think i have a problem.

 

Nothing like the sound of a V8..

 

This post by Pete (via Brandon) is a great description of PMS...

Im starting to get PMS due to my Black friday box with yellowtape still has not shipped. WTF?? Order was still pending tuesday.

 

Maybe he is really busy, and maybe whatever you ordered he ran out of in stock cause everyone else ordered stuff too....

 

I know for a fact that Clay has been completely... COMPLETELY swamped for the past couple weeks, and I am CERTAIN that the sales over the holiday weekend did not make that situation any better. It might help you to imagine him as either a one-armed paper hanger or a three legged dog trying to herd a bunch of cats on a sloped tin roof during a frog-strangling downpour.

 

I'm still tuner free!

 

I like the saying
I'm not an alcoholic, I'm a drunk...
Alcoholics go to meetings.
Gotta twist that into pms somehow.

Hi, my name is JR...
I have 3 running superduty psd trucks and building another.
I don't have a powerstroke problem... I have a money problem.
The money just disappears after I walk into the garage somehow. It's weird.
