Is it going to be wheel chair accessible? If you need a lift I might be able to get one donated. I'll call the guy and see if he still has it

Anthony, off question but what is the max egt we should run our 6.0 at. When towing up big grades, we see 1250 egt at 2900 rpm. We are towing large trailer, 17k to 18k lbs. It runs good with unlimited tow tune and FICM tune. Is this okay or should we try something else? Thanks for your help. It is bullet proofed as they say and head studs. BPD upgraded egr and air to oil cooler.

I commented on I've of the first vicarious what you mentioned suspension regarding the RAS, Roadmaster active Suspension may give you a bit in the rear and help out with the factory spring setup.

Nice job so far, love how clean these trucks are in the process.

Nice job and looks great!

I would use NiCopp for the brake line to the rear. Little more expensive and harder to make look nice but owner won't ever have worrry about it rusting.

Anthony, did you end up switching to FelPro head gaskets?

Yes. We do Fel-pro's. I'd use fords,,, but I consider them a downgrade. Been a long time since I used ford hgs.

Looks like it will raise an inch in the rear at max, with a trailer I would think that inch would get soaked up though.

I've been telling people to use Fel Pro for their trucks for a long time. I built a ton of race motors with them and NEVER had one blow a gasket. But then again what do I know........
