Troy sounds like I need to bring my Ranger out to test the trails!
Well it wont take long the trails aren't real long. Haha. Our grove isn't that big!

New to the MN chapter, I was looking around here a bit before and saw that one of you guys had a shop in the cities. I'm over on the east side of St. Paul, I would like to bring my truck somewhere and have someone who knows 6.0 look it over. The previous owner has done some modifications but I would like to get a better idea of everything he did.

Welcome to the chapter!

The guy who use to run the shop moved away so the shop is now closed up. There still might be someone here that could look at it for you though. Do you have any idea of what has been done to it? I would look at it for ya but I live way out in western MN.

Yeah anything would help, I know a few of the major modifications and I've asked about a few on here already but what I know is, it has the EGR deleted, Magnaflow exhaust w/ a magnaflow muffler of some sort, I believe it is turbo back but I don't know if it is a 3.5 or 4 inch. The previous owner installed a pyrometer and he had it chipped, he blew the head gaskets at 90,000 miles and had the heads studded down with the APR studs.

That's about all I know on it so far, I'm not sure what you can find out by just looking at it or driving it but any other info on it would be great.

Thanks in advance.

There aren't going to be too many modifications you can see by looking at it other then what you already said. The other updates would be internal ones you couldn't see by looking at it. I am guessing you have a 4 inch exhaust system being it is aftermarket but grabbing a tape measure and checking will tell you in short order what is on there. Where is the pyro located in the downpipe or exhaust manifold? Manifold is where it should be. What type of tuner or programmer is it? Do you have gauges or a monitor? Is there a coolant filter on it? That would be mounted next to the radiator on the pass side.

BTW you want to make sure you run OE oil and fuel filters on it.

Also just as an FYI there is a new bs thread started every month so there won't be much posting in this one if you are wondering.
