I still wouldn't touch a tune on a new truck like that. Who are you gonna trust with your brand new engine, some random tuner with their 1 year/12k warranty or the factory 6year/75k warranty? Why would you [potentially] undercut yourself from 5 years worth of protection? I'm not saying don't...

He was picking up dirt, not girls there @Jnich77

Wait, really? I've never once heard that ever. Mine wasn't boosted but we (my mechanic friend, my car wizard if you will...) considered it... but we thought about supercharging it instead of turbocharging. We had already twin-charged an old diesel mercedes. I'll stop hijacking your thread from...

I tell that too anyone who will listen "bUt ThE ApEx SeAlS!" ehhh dude if you take care of it and done boost the ******** out of it and take care of it (redline a day, never let it run for less than 5 minutes once turned on) and you should be fine. Seriously put about 40k miles on between those...

@OBS460 thanks for that! I'm a serious rotary nerd. I've had an FB RX7 and an 04 RX8, but almost completely unmodified especially compared to yours.

@OBS460 your build is awesome so far, but tell me more about that RX8!

You already have an Excursion and you're thinking about anything but an Excursion? Shoot those are good trucks. With the 60 to 70k budget, assuming your truck is already paid off, you could easily make such a well built vehicle.

Oh man 4.30 would be a good one. I had 4.27 gears (if I recall correctly) in my D2 and they worked so well. Not as much gearing at 4.56 but worlds better than the stock 3.55.

@ricoisme26, Fair I know I usually think of the new market with the trucks and thats on me. If I had to choose I would go 6.7, but the 7.3 is MILES better of an option than the 6.2. I know its similar to what I have in my F150 but I feel like the 6.2 is just not a great engine for those trucks...

So I first installed this about a week ago but I was unhappy with the final fit and finish. The mounting is such that it slides in and is retained from the same direction on both the inner and outer surfaces (not a great design, not gonna lie). The inner mount has two tabs that slide right into...

If you're looking at that, may as well consider the 7.3 gasser.

I feel that, I prioritized the transfer case and transmission skid because at least I have a skid on the gas tank already, even if its just reinforced plastic. I was honestly a bit taken aback by how flimsy the transfer case skid was.

@Grassland its looking great! The gas tank skid is the last piece I need to get for mine.

I did a small modification, but huge impact as far as quality of use type thing.

No problem. I'd other a new set of the nut retainer clip assemblies for the skid plate before pulling it.... The part numbers are W706894S439 BOLT W707640S439 NUT The torque specs are front bolts 35lb/ft (4 total) rear bolts 41lb/ft (2 total) And there are 2 flag nuts that come with the...

Rough Country 1010, I believe. If you cannot find any in stock SDHQ makes one as well.

@CanukRaptor Sucks that it happened to you, glad it wasn't anything worse.

Finally got all the clips together and uploaded it... took 3 days because it was close to 100gbs of 4k footage.

You sound like me when I was considering buying their GEN2 roof top tent.
