Hey Jim, do you think your Truck or Excursion has more power? They are both 7.3s right?

We did mount all the tires with fire, and my buddy has a balancer but we had to take the hood off to fit the tires on it. They all balanced out with sticky weights.

AFTER:
Love it! Can't wait for you to arrive for church in that rig!

I didn't know with all the work you have done on your 96, if it was competing with the Excursion yet

Good evening Don, Clint and Shaun. Company just left and the dishes are in the dish washer so I'm taking a quick break before I head to bed. Lots of meetings tomorrow so I have to get up early if I want to get in my workout...

No I would need at least a tuner. Really needs bigger injectors first. The stock ones are only like 90cc. Stock SD are like 130cc. But I need to pull excursion engine, change oil pan, put bellowed up pipes on, wicked wheel II in turbo, delete the ebv valve, new glow plugs and maybe couple other things.
