    Questions for 7.3 Dually Owners??

    Thanks guys for all the responses, good stuff. I don't do a lot of muddin, but when I have to I like to get nasty. Kinda of like having a concealed permit, the chances of you ever having to pull it out and use are very slim. But if you do, you better go all out. My take anyways, same take in...

    Questions for 7.3 Dually Owners??

    To all Dually owners, I am possibly considering a dually. I don't need one, but I need a 8 foot bed, 4x4 and I want a 6 speed 7.3. Since clean, low mileage 7.3's are hard to find I have possibly considered getting a dually depending on the truck. Is there a huge difference in the way you...

    6.0 Transmission power hold?

    Thanks Man for the info. I read in your sig that you just installed jimmy jammers. Good call, I had a 7.3 that was stolen in less than 45 seconds with a straight screw driver. He stuck right into my door handle and then started the truck with the screw driver as well. Not sure how it is...

    When to get head studs?

    Please excuse the ignorance, just trying to clarify a few things. I have heard from a couple of sources, that if you do the head studs on a 6.0, you have to lift the entire cab to do it. Very labor intensive, is this correct? I have a mobile mechanic that is very reasonably priced and does great...

    When to get head studs?

    Thanks Man, does any body have idea of what kind of power the automatic transmission can take? At what point do you have to get a built transmission? If your going to shoot for 425 to 450 HP area, will a stock transmission take that kind of power? Regular everyday driving 80miles plus, light...

    When to get head studs?

    When do you get head studs? Is there a certain threshold that once you pass on HP you need head studs? Obviously if the motor goes, then do it, I am just trying to figure when is the time to do it, what is safe HP for the stock 6.0? Is it once your above 450RWHP? or close to 500RWHP? Or...

    Stroke vs. Cummins?

    I understand how goes, no worries. I am in small business and God has been good to us, but things are slowing for us. I know that can cause a lot of undue stress and worry. Especially with what our barry obama is doing to ruin our economy and country. I understand what your saying about...

    Stroke vs. Cummins?

    Maybe I came to wrong place to ask a question. When I am 50 years old, I will still want to race, that won't go away with age. Does it cost a lot of money to go fast, ya it does. I was just doing some research and asking some guys that have given me some good advice in the past. Sounds like I...

    Stroke vs. Cummins?

    I guess just to be able to beat a cummins in a race, I drive close to 40k to 50k miles a year. Tow rarely, in the residential construction industry. So I guess it just comes down to the power and win a race to be honest. Just not sure what I want to do. I know I need a crew cab, 8 ft bed and 4 x...

    Stroke vs. Cummins?

    This is true, I forget the name of the site but they have adapters for the conversion. I think the perfect truck might be the powerstroke body, cummins motor, and a allison transmission. For 25 grand anything can be done I guess. But that site has all the parts and adapters I believe to make it...

    !!!My truck got stolen!!!!

    Thanks for all the comments guys! I am just trying to remain positive. Just weird to imagine someone stealing your truck and driving it, something you take a lot of pride in and take care of. Someone right now is having their way with her. Its going to be hard to find another good deal and a...

    Propane & other mods??

    The largest I am going on with the width of the tire is 13.5. I feel that I might have to sell my 18 inch rims to buy some 20inch rims to get more tire selection. But I can't afford that right now. I have only found one 36inch tire that will fit an 18inch rim, I guess I will keep looking. I...
