alright mr. know it all. I saw for myself, it clearly does not have an intercooler, the hot intercooler pipe wraps around where the intercooler would be and has a boot on it that connects directly to the cold side.
.
So before you go hinting i dont know my facts, maybe yall should make sure what you say is true? try practicing what you preach.

On that note, why would they do that? Because its a dedicated puller, or where they going to go water cooler instead?

I wasn't being a know it all, just saying it looked like it had one.

I think he said he didnt have it one due to pulling, I cant remember if it came in the bed and just had to install it or he went up this morning to pick it up. cant remember which one it was.

The bumper was at the guys house and we went there last night waiting on the notary, i had guys come over this afternoon to help me install it. I threw it in the bed last night because i didnt want to install it then. Yes Jet the piping was too congested under the hood to go on top of the motor and back around into the intake, so it was routed right through where the intercooler should be, its just piping. That won't be reused though.

No apology necessary, Jet. I understand completely.

Way to go Kris, nice find for sure.
That spring pack looks a lot like the one on my F550.
I'll bet that thing rides like a buckboard.

Suprisingly that spring pack rides pretty smooth on the road, what little i have driven it. Comparable to a 550, but with a few thousand in the bed. Kind of rough but progressive. The guy said it only squats an inch and a half or so when hoooked to a sled..



Cold startup, click on the pic to go to the album....i tried to get some smoke rings pics but they shoot up so fast it's hard to capture them, on a white sky. I said F it, and began to pull the front of the truck off, hopefully in a day or two i can pull the motor out, there isnt much left up top to do, remove the turbo, fuel lines, motor mounts, and transmission, then i can guide that out, put it on the stand and start working on removing sold parts from my gray truck...
