The ol' gal doesn't do actual work very often, so I thought a photo was appropriate. Guessing about 19.5k GCVW. My intercooler works very well. Accelerated from 55 to 60 in 4th on a winding stretch of 9%-ish secondary highway...and only hit 1180 That straight pipe was BARKING On the highway it pulled like a dream. 60mph in 5th (1800 RPMs) I was at 700 and 11psi. Now you can all bust JR (Cowboy_Customs) about his secret 7.3 NA Ford addiction

 

Looks good, can't wait till I get mine finished. Took the bed off to sand blast the frame and fix the spring hangers that are kinda gone.

 

i thought you had a stack?

 

He did, took it off for the same reason I'm taking mine off. Stacks on a truck that tows is terribly loud and annoying.

 

Mike is quite right. I don't even tow all that often, but the stack really makes it hard to daily drive the thing. I think a club-cab or even a regular cab with carpet/headliner etc. would fair better than my poorboy model...

 

Hey Greg looks awesome, another ford being towed

 

Looks good.

Now I gotta find me a Ford to drag around.

 

Off to the scrap yard huh?

 

hahaha!

It was my first diesel. Sentimental value; keeps it alive (or is it my wallet??)

That was pretty good load too, made a nice BARK, outta that weenie little TAILPIPE. Hmmm..... wonder what kind of a GROWL, 6 inch pipes will make?

(hahaha u called open season Greg!)

lol, i feel like a bugs n daffy cartoon, "wabbit season, duck season....."


That 7.3 has a got a good bite to it, im doin what i can to fix it, sell it, n buy another CUMMINS.
But I still have a soft spot for that old International motor.
