But in all seriousness if you’re really worried about power you can buy a roush charger that will take you to the mid 600s on hp and keep your factory warranty. I didn’t do that one because it’s not the charger I wanted. After the warranty is up a pulley change takes you to about 720hp. But...
Just a note, my truck is 5.0. I’ve proven several times I can still run 80 with a 30mph headwind on the interstate. And as soon as my 50k mile warranty is up it will get forced induction. Then bring me your 2.7, 3.5, powerstroke, whatever ?
Couple weekends ago at Padre island national seashore. This weekend getting ready for expo west and then running straight to rimrocker from Moab to Montrose. Wanted one more test trip to big bend before the rimrocker trip but life just gets in the way.
It was always fine until I got the RTT up there. In a strong headwind it will never get into 6th gear. Going to Cali last month we had a 30ish mph headwind. With me wanting to run 75-80 it didn’t like it. However it is fine without the wind. I towed a Farmall M this past weekend on a nearly 3k...
Been forever since I posted. We did get a good couple days in anza borrego at the beginning of March. About to start a list of mods on my truck to get ready for Moab in May. Picked up the 36 gallon tank tonight and also a power driver seat. The 23 gallon tank doesn’t last long in these trucks...
I talked to a local spring shop today, Ace Spring in San Antonio. They said they would do a custom mod to my leaf pack to level it up or put the back where I want it for about $500 complete. If I take off the springs and deliver to them they will charge around $250. Its a bit more work and...
Here's my latest mod. $24.55 for the switch delivered. It took about 5 minutes to install the switch and about 10 minutes with Forscan (had to update my license). I'm not sure how much I'll use it but I'm glad to have the capability.
Here's the part number for the switch if you have the...
The raptor community makes full leaf packs ridiculous. Deaver makes a spring. Over $1300 and months waiting time. I have other mods that I think will be more bang for the $ right now. Otherwise I’d just get a leaf pack built for sure.
I appreciate the kind words. I’d hate to think about what I spent even in materials. The 4 corner brackets were $150 or so. I’d say I spent around $300 on tubing. I spent a LOT of time on it but it could be way faster a second or third time. Not sure what the going price would be for something...
I spent today working on a bench in the garage. I need to do a repair on my winch motor. I hate chasing stuff around in the floor so I decided to build a bench. As usual with anything I build I went a bit overboard. 16’ long and 30” deep. I’ll get the top on it tomorrow.
