Bought Me a Truck!

[SeventyMach1]

Yep ..... the feeling can be decieving. However mine is pretty decently quick for a diesel truck. It's just a standard cab, short bed, and has the 6 speed manual transmission. So it's lighter than most of these trucks I guess.

Saw this stuff on trucks http://www.edgeproducts.com/ford_73_powerstroke.html Looked pretty cool. It gains you power and increases mpg. You can change the settings on the fly with the gadget and the install looked pretty simple(but then again they make it look like it is).

sweet man superdutys are so sweet, get some pics up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Snapped a couple of quick pics. Yep, it's dirty.

Also, I don't think I've shown my new license plate ... or dash pod ....

3 months later we get pics ha ha. Looks nice needs bigger tires. Clock pod looks good. Watch out for that piston hitting the windshield or your head

Haha, it doesn't. It's ALOT smaller than the pic makes it look (about the diameter of a quarter). It's my lucky piston from a weed eater that I demolished, lol. It's spent time in several cars. Geo Prizm, '93-'96-'00 Ranger, Mazda RX-7, '95 GT, and '94 GT. It will probably be in this one forever.

Ironically, that piston would fit the bore of a Prism engine too (that would have been funnier if you had said Metro).

The truck looks great. I dig the clock pod also. Good stuff.

Thanks guys. I'm loving the truck. Changed all the fluids today. 16 quarts of oil and 30 quarts of coolant mix. Rather expensive. At least I only have to change the oil every 5K.


Jinx, I know bigger tires would look better .... but I don't know if I can get bigger one's. These rims are like 16" x 8". A narrow tire and a huge sidewall would look weird. I'm gonna do some searching & see what looks good.

Oh, & JT, I miss the Prizm. That little Toyota got like 30 mpg.

Sheesh, that thing was thirsty.

I can see why some of the guys that run synthetic oil do the UOA's and get away with (reportedly) 20K mile OCI's.

It's gotta be a hoot to drive!

get a new set of rims then Beadlocker's (having a blond moment i think thats what they are called) would look killer on that thing
