Now that we all know why i'm selling. let me give you the run down. I bought this truck last July. I have been involved in the diesel industry for a long time and wanted a project truck to mess around with. When i bought the truck. it was a typical 20 year old stock truck with a lift kit and bald 35" tires on it. What happened next was me spending my whole summer in the garage and putting way more money into it than I expected. I will try to capture all the work I did. i'm sure I'll leave a million small things out. but here we go:

Engine:
- 250cc hybrid injectors
- 66mm stock style turbo with 1. 0 quick spool exhuast housing
- 3. 5" down pipe
- New up-pipes and gaskets
- Tymar style intake 
- New glow plugs
- New glow plug relay
- New under valve cover wiring and valve cover gaskets
- Marty's electric fuel system with regulated return (retains the fuel tank selector valve and both fuel tanks)
- Diesel site billet thermostat housing
- Diesel site 203* Thermostat
- New water pump
- Diesel site coolant filter
- All new radiator hoses
- 2 New batteries

Drivetrain:
- Ford rebuilt transmission
- Full Transgo Tugger Shift kit (with pump mods)
- Triple disk billet torque converter
- New rear drive shaft with upgraded 1410 u-joints
- New spindles. u-joints. and wheel bearings in the front axle
- New calipers. Hawk Pads. Hawk Rotors in the front

Steering & Suspension:
- New Red Head Gear steering box
- New sway bar end links and bushings
- 6" lift with springs up front and lift block in the rear

Tires/Wheels:
- Trailworthy Fab 16. 5" custom bead lock rims
- 37" BFG Baja "Hummer" tires (These are the good radials. not the cheap early model ones)

Performance and Monitoring:
- PHP Hydra Chip
- Custom tunes
- Glow Shift gauges (Fuel Pressure. Trans Temp. Boost. Exhaust Gas Temp)

Interior:
- Interior was stripped. "Dynamat" style sound/head barrier was installed on floor
- New carpet padding with heat barrier installed over the "Dynamat"
- New carpet was then installed
- The old seats were replaced with a 40-20-40 bench seat out of a 2008 Super Duty

I built this truck to be my daily driver. I was looking for about 425HP at the tires and totally reliable to drive every day. I have been involved in the diesel industry for over 10 years now. I have been involved with many big name companies and have tuned hundreds of Ford trucks over the years. This truck is not your average "thrown together by a high schooler" truck. (Sorry High Schoolers. I was totally there at one time. so I don't mean to pick on you. But. I have learned alot by my mistakes over the years . . . hence saying I learned the value in doing it right the first time). All of my wiring uses "weather pack" style connectors to protect them from the Ohio winter road salt. all parts were installed with the expectation that they would be in the truck for a long time. and they wouldn't leave me broken down along side the road. Mechanically. from a drive-train standpoint. this truck is solid. stout. and reliable.

Now. what I have not addressed yet is the cosmetic piece. I enjoyed driving around as a high performance truck with patina . . . like the guys on RoadKill drive . . . solid drivetrain. lots of power. but from the outside it looks a little rough.  
- The bed has the typical rust over the fenders and a few holes in the bed . . easily fixed with a new bed if you care (the tailgate is pretty solid though).
- The cab is pretty solid with just a little rust starting in the cab corners and are easily fixable at this point.
- The doors are solid as well. there is a small bit of rust starting at the very bottoms. but it would be an easy fix too.
- And. as typical. the core support has some rust as well . . . this could be fixed. or you could just source good used one.

I have done my best to describe the truck and be honest with the condition. its really a fun truck to drive and it puts a smile on my face everytime I get in. Unfortunately. as I said. my wife hates climbing up in it. and it doesn't have space for our 2 new dogs. so I need to find crew cab truck that is a little lower to the ground for her. If you have any questions. please don't hesitate to ask.
