Thumbs up My First PSD

Hello,

I am in the middle of purchasing a 99 F-250 4x4 Super Cab Long Bed Lariat with the PSD & six speed manual & 125k. I was wanting to make it into a trailer puller that can be used to go cruisin' on Fri nights. I want to put an exhaust on it that has a deep rumble & a little bit of "cackle". I am planning on putting a cold air intake, airbags in the rear & an exhaust brake. I am thinking a 5 inch strait pipe with a 6 inch tip. I may also put a chip in it as I want it to blow a little black smoke when I shift. Any Advice? Truck has less than a thousand miles on a new clutch & rebuilt (manual) transfer case. The owner is a friend & paid $11k for it. It is in good condition with fairly new 285/75/R16 Tires. It is kind of a stripped down Lariat. The leather seats are manual & it has only a cassette player. I believe it is one of the frst 99s as it has the PSD badge on the fender instead of the door. I can probably get it for $10k. I would greatly apprecite any tips or advice as this is my first turbo diesel.

If it were me, I would check the build date to see if its the early 99 setup with smaller HPOP and turbo etc. Others here can correct me if im wrong

The at the bottom is the best place to ask your question.
As far as the chip question most on the 7.3 99-03 forum use DP-tuner
here is a link for that www.dp-tuner.com .
