So, I just saw an '03 or '04 Ford F-550 6.0L SRW lifted about 8" w/ some huge mud tires today. Either the guy is nuts for buying a 550 and converting it into a mud-bogger or it's just a 550 badge...I don't know...it was interesting though. The Ford 6.0 is still a loud engine...not much quieter than the 7.3 when you compare the drastic change CTD's went through.

 

i didnt think you could get anything over a 350 with srw... i dunno

 

Maybe you can get a converstion kit for a 350 and it'll work for a 550.

 

On the Rickson truck parts page there was a 450 or 550 someone converted to SRW, with single 19.5" wheels. Did you see the axles to see if it was a 550? I have a friend with one and he repainted it and stuck 550 badges on it.

 

Yep F450 and up all drw

 

Actually, I couldn't tell ya if I was looking at a 550 axle if I saw it anyway. But anyway, now that I think about it he would have had to change the rear fender panels to SRW also, and I think a person would be foolish to spend all that money on a 550 just to convert it to a SRW.

Beg your pardon on this one. I have a 6.0 and my son has a 7.3. You can't even hear mine run next to his. But the Dodge is a quiet one. Almost would think it was a gasser. I like the Dodge but it bothers me to hear people bad mouth the 6.0. I love mine and it *Really moves*. I didn't buy a Dodge cause of the front end.

freind did the badge change from 350 to 550 ... every "expert" in the county said "oh yeah it came that way"

and you would know if it had the big dana 135 rear end ... boy howdy ... it's a whopper
