2005 F250 XLT Build Thread

Hey everyone! Im the new owner of a 2005 F250 XLT with the 5.4L V8 with 84,000km (I'm in Canada btw). I'm no stranger to Super Duty's, this just happens to be the first I've owned (my father has owned many over the years).

My previous truck was a 2011 F150 Platinum EcoBoost. When the EcoBoost was announced and revealed, it was the engine I wanted over anything. Well in 2014 I bought my 2011 and I all ever had was problems. I drove it maybe 10,000kms a year and it seemed that there was always another problem whenever a jumped in it. During my last 2 years of ownership I put in 2 timing chains (20,000km in between), multiple brake parts (electric pump, booster, master cylinder) and it was at the dealer for months. I had barely any braking power and they couldn't figure it out. I ended up getting rid of it and I needed to find a truck that would last.

Then comes my 2005 F250. I drove down an hour to look at it and as soon as I saw it I knew that there was a good chance I had to have it. It's a pretty bare model in comparison to my Platinum, but that's what I wanted. Vinyl floor, 4x4 on the floor, etc. The engine bay was super clean, all the head studs are still in mint condition and there is no engine tick!!! I don't have too many plans for it except for some mods to bring it into 2018. So far I've put a backrack on it, dash camera, mud flaps (from my F150) and gave her a proper clean. Future mods are an android head unit, wheels, 12v outlet in bed, rear view camera, tow mirrors and 2011+ style tail lights.

Anyways, enough of my blabbering, onto some pictures!
