Holla from Reno, NV

Howdy all,

New owner of a 2002 EX Limited 7.3, my first big Diesel and Ford...will mainly be an Expedition/camping and towing truck, thinking of a milled lift, 35" tires, bumpers and.....who knows what else

With my first Ex, I noticed rust within 6 months after I purchased the Fox shocks and was not happy as it got a bath every week and polished the shocks to keep that from happening. But I do live in the salt belt. Also, if you're only going 4in on the lift, think about the X/B springs upgrade and the parts that will give you about 3.5in lift for $1200.

Be interested to see if you will try any of that G-Diesel in the Reno area. Supposedly you get better MPG and cleaner exhaust.
