Does it ever stop!!!

Well I found this site looking for info on front ball joints. I did that job saved about a grand and got my self locking hubs back in the process. Had a problem with an intermittent miss and think I got that fixed. I spent 750.00 on that before coming here. Went to clean the BPS tube only to find it's broke and I'm leaking fuel. Ordered the new line and fuel bowl Orings and figured as long as I have all this workin room I should put on the HPOX and the FRX along with my 6637. I guess I'll keep Clay business. LOL To tell the truth I've had the truck for about 4 years with out doing anything to it cept oil changes and brakes and work the crap out of it. This place has saved me a ton of money Just wish I had looked for it sooner. A Curtis
P.S. I am now a supporter

Found this site when I was researching trucks, havent looked back!

It's cost me a couple of grand (+) in modifications, but then again it's saved me more than that in other ways (incl being told I needed ball joints replaced when I bought it, which was NOT the case), and I get the benefits of all the mods!


I knew I was going to get a 7.3L, so I got the supporter badge before I even got the truck. The OASIS reports alone were worth more than what I paid for the badge...

This Is a work truck. not lookin to hot rod this , just trying to get it to last a long time. The chip is because the truck is pretty much a dog in stock form and I get better mileage the exhaust is to keep it cooler.




I have saved a ton more than the 20.00 bucks. Cheap at twice the price.
