A few updates in Woodlands, TX (2002 F250 7.3L)

Just got my truck back from the shop and this thing drives like a dream compared to before. With four kids and a full time job I don’t have the luxury to do some of these repairs myself. So I turned them over to a shop in South Houston. Hands down the best mechanics I have ever work with. I damn near hugged the guy as he treated me so well. Respect, Honesty, and with the troubles he ran into he never threw in the towel.

The list of what has been done so far.

Bilstein Shocks all the way around
Front and rear Diff service with Royal Purple gear oil
Axel seals, dust seals, and hubs
Complete front end rebuild. All bushings, sway bar, alltie-rods.
Front and rear brakes.
New Adrenaline HPOP with upgraded lines and seals.
Removed the Banks exhaust break and all the unnecessary wiring.
New 4” turbo exhaust with muffler
Turbo pedestal without EPR
REDHEAD power steering gearbox
New power steering pump high pressure lines.
Oil change with dual filters
Fuel filter change
Replaced A/C compressor
Transmission rebuild with upgraded everything on the inside.
Transmission harness was hacked by previous owner so that was replaced.
Front end alignment
4 Nitto Trail Grapplers
4 Fuel Kranks Wheels
Recon Headlights
Cold Air intake
SCT programmer

I am sure there is a few things I’m forgetting but that pretty much sums it up. for now. Next on the list is custom bumpers. And more LED lights.

Thank you sir! I want to also change out the side emblems for updated or something different. I've been searching for ideas but nothing that really catches my eye. Also those chrome side bars need to go or get powder coated black.

Thank you sir! Appreciate it.
Wow, that Ravelco is a pretty cool device. I wonder what would happen if you lost the plug to it.?

It comes with 2 plugs according to their site and you can order more for $50 a pop I just wouldn't lose it haha but if I lived in your neck of the woods I'd have one for sure.

As much as I like the idea of the Ravelco, I have enough crap to carry around in my pocket. Adding a plug to my pocket seems to be a bit much. BUT.... I am sure I wont think that IF my truck got stolen. LOL


I have an alarm now with LOJACK, Jimmy Jammers, and all key holes removed from door handles.
