Maybe we can indeed

38R is still too small for my Stage 3's, so I need MOAR TURBO

Then I guess I have dibs...lol

Well, the '16 plan was 10k miles with the boat in tow...but now with retirement over...going to have to settle for 5k.
New wheels would be nice too...Centerlines are looking a bit dated.

Install a boss snow plow mount and wiring
New rear hatch shocks
New wiper nozzle on the drivers side
Rigid lighting

I'm not planning on making the 6.0 trans work with it. The newer 3V V10 use the 5R110W and play nicely together.

Yes, I am a little hungover... Like always

I'm not 100% sure it would work, but the harness and ECU from the doner would be the only way I would do it. I would essentially have the brain box of a 05+ superduty or motor home.

Making all of the dash stuff work would be the real trick. Lol

Pretty much. Not really a cost effective plan/project and definitely not realistic for my Ex and myself.
Might be fun for a future project though.
I shouldn't be putting my wild dreams in a resolution thread

A quite wordy 2nd post.

How many miles on that rig?

With all those mods you might-should-have-possibly-maybe-kept a journal as a build thread, it may have been easier to follow than your post.
