$4000 is way too much for that truck. If it was the F350 w/the D60 front or had the ZF5 or turbo I'd say go for it.....but it doesn't look like it does.

I'd pass for that price.

Joe you should invest that 17K into something that will earn you money and keep the 1000hp truck you have now. I want to see your truck in the next Diesel truck challenge....I bet it could destroy that Dyno!!!

You should also install these into your exhaust pipes, I bet it would make for another 200hp!!

well i found a 900$ truck that i jump in and drive every day, no its not the nicest thing and yes it has a few problems with it, but im slowly fixing it and upgrading it, and some time in the future it will be a nicer truck, o and did i mention its a rust free truck, but if you wait around long enough joe you will find some thing that you really want to put your money in and have a nice dependble truck, i guess that 600 hp idi is eating you alive having to buy head gasket and heads all the time and new turbos every week cause all that propane, and fuel man that thing must get horrible fuel milage i just cant resist my self sometimes joe, i will probly never forget you early april fools joke lol
