I'm Back !!!
Hey guys, hope none of you felt i was neglecting or avoiding you all but as was said before things were a little crazy in the Jones house lately. But things have calmed down, I got all caught up at work so i got a little free time on the weekends now. I think the kids learned thier lesson so i turned the net back on so now you will see alot more of me (sorry guys lol). Well I got to catch up on whats goin on, looks like i missed alot of good threads.

Yup the new job kept me REALLY busy for awhile until I caught up with things. Christmas was great, kids got all kinds of goodies for me to play with lol. I ate entirely too much food but I'm not complainin lol. Hoss is coming along well, for those of you who don't know I got the 2 guage pod installed with Autometer pyro and boost guages, did the 10k mod and the IAC mod, shimmed the fuel pressure regulator up a bit, installed Idle control setup, installed a big beefy brush guard, swapped out the ECM for one out of a 97 model that supports the OBD II interface. Then there is the repairs, during that last cold snap the truck would not put out hot air, decided to replace the t-stat and found the previous owner removed the original one !!! Also the truck didn't want to start one morning and I found the the glow plug relay was bad so i had to replace it. As of now she is running great and running to work and back gets me about 18.5 mpg (on winter blend) so I won't complain at all lol

Thanks for the update on the PSD. They are great trucks and the 7.3's run strong. I wish I could say I've done the mods on mine that you have done on yours. I've had mine for 3 years and basically just drive it and do the regular maintenance. i.e. oil changes etc.
