I'm not sure I mentioned it here yet, but I'm collecting some parts to freshen up the old 7.3 a little. Like - new oil pan, headstuds, 910 valve springs, 250/200 injectors, T4 turbo mount w/wastegate and a GTX4294. We'll prolly yank the engine out and get started when I get back home. Think I should consider beefing up the hitch on the Toy Hauler so it doesn't get yanked off once this thing gets back together?

Not a clue yet. But it looks like the ones you see for the baja trucks where they keep their spare. I just need something better up their because when I carry my ladders around to look at a job (Carpenter) because I don't need to haul the trailer, I don't want the roof getting messed up with them bouncing around up there.

below freezing. once it gets below 32 again and the roads freeze up the truck stays clean 
over the weekend we hit over 50 degrees!!! 2 weeks ago it was -20! lol
supposed to stay below freezing rest of the week with some snow..i hope it dumps snow to cover up all the brown.

1st time...
FINALLY, since I have been hauling it around in the back of the EX since October 2nd, changed the oil to some Shell Rotella T6 5W-40, original Motorcraft Oil Filter and changed the Fuel filters to Purolator Fuel Filters.
And this being my first time and speaking for my buddy as well who helped me, that fuel filter under the drivers side in the frame is in a very frickin' awkward place. Speaking for my buddy because he is the one who loosened it and got diesel fuel all over him. There looks like there are a whole lot of other areas that would have enough space to place that to where the fuel would not run all down the frame and such and just be able to put a pan under one spot to catch it. So a mess was made of the floor of his garage and I had to run and get cat litter for him to soak it up. Unless we did something totally wrong, I am not looking forward to the next time that fuel filter needs changing.
