So I'm trying to get together a game plan for the truck and i wanted to get your thoughts on a few areas.

Use: This truck won't be heavy use, and will not be a daily driver but its my dad's only vehicle so it will get some use.

Goal: Reliable truck with a little more giddy up vs the stock.

Thoughts/Plan:
- new oil pan means pulled engine
- new up pipes
- reseal the things that makes sense while its out (plugs, Turbo etc)
- Not planning on an upgraded turbo (tell me if thats dumb) unless its shot which i dont think is the case
- would like to do efuel at that time when the motor is out
- Stage 1 sticks
- possibly an intercooler and was thinking 7.3 due to the light to null hauling i'd do
- new hpop - t500 likely
- gauges and a chip as apporpriate

Does that sound like an appropriate "package"?

Restoring this truck, we have done a ton else to it and feel that it is very reliable today (minus that mangy oil pan).

Thanks!

 

that sounds like a good plan but no EGT gauge/s?

 

Yeah, last bullet!!

 

missed that with the chip


just a chip should wake it up a lil, so maybe try that first
