Thanks Admin Guys!

After 3 days of trying the Admin guys got me in! Japatul Flyer here. Retired Army Black Hawk Helicopter pilot and new owner of a 1984 Ford F250 4x4 diesel Supercrew? Saw it by the side of the road for 2,000.00 Drove it home 70 miles and the last 5 I decided to "see what she could do" The temperature went up to just below the Hot zone. Turns out the 3 row brass radiator was just about done. $400.00 later I now have a 4 row ready to install. Other small problems: right front broken shock mount and sagging front leafs. I will weld up the shock mount and have ordered up an add a leaf kit from stengle brothers. Any suggestions for performance other than a straight pipe? I read something about the soup bowl? is that the air cleaner? Any help would be appreciated Glad to be aboard!
