Not a bad purchase if you can stand the price of diesel...

Re: Baught a new rig!

MBRP exhaust $800.00, Air Raid intake $300.00, Pedator programmer $500.00, wasting your neighbor kids Mustang at the stoplight...priceless. 425 rwhp and 750# of torque. I wish I could swap my FE out for a Power Stroke. That would be COOL! Nice truck, I think you'll love it. I love mine.

Perdy, I like that color too.

MBRP exhaust - DONE!
Intake - Next week!
Tune - Have an Xcal3 programs being loaded by LUND SVT and Powerstoke tuner!

With just the exhaust, it hazes the tires at 15!

Re: Baught a new rig!

Sure are fun aren't they? I can smoke em through second gear pretty easily. Oh, and passing people on the highway like they are in reverse is a blast. People just can't imagine that a behemoth like the Super Duty can really get up and motor. I think you'll like the truck. Just be warned. Injectors are around $800.00 a piece and last only around 5 to 7 years if you're lucky. I have had to replace two already.

By the way, make sure you install a pyrometer if you are going to tow anything and not drop your programmer level down. I somehow lost the converter on the exhaust :^) so I can actually tow my car hauler or 8000# 5th wheel camper on the highest setting without breaking 800 degrees. ENJOY!

[SIZE=3]Agreed! Last night there was a Maxima that saw my truck and tried to move over. I guarantee they were thinking “oh crap, I don’t want to get stuck behind this big slow truck”…. LOL they moved over to the left, I hit the throttle and then looked down. 80 MPH in a blink. The white headlights were very far behind.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]For some reason I lost my kitty kat too. J Sounds like a jet. [/SIZE]
