2001 Ford F-250, 7.3 powerstroke, 6 speed manual, 187 000 km, 4" exhaust, AEF intake, and tuner, 6" procomp lift, 35" BFG M/T.

This thing is scary to drive, its got too much power. Should make for a good tow rig.

Right on dude! That's awesome. Those Powerstrokes are pretty incredible. It's amazing how much power you can pull out of em. Nice looking rig too.

That's a mean looking truck, but why does the back tires look like they have been shoved forward a little ???

hey its just the angle of the picture.

no burnouts....can be spending money on broken parts this early.

I put 500 pounds in the bed, didnt budge, going to put another 500, that should help the traction.

Its amazing to drive, shifting it is just like a semi..after you get going, forget about the clutch.

Im happy with my purchase...but I cant help but be sad about my Rangebe being gone. Itll be a couple years until I finish school, and then Ill build another Ranger, it will be a MONSTER I promise.

Um,.... :ban:.

Anyone else think that is blasphemy?
Agreed. There is no such thing... just like there is no such thing as too much fun, too much money, a girl too pretty, being too lucky, and a car too fast.

hahaha just so different.

I was pulling onto the highway, was in 5th gear, figured Id punch it before going to 6th, and rear end kicked sideways as the tires started to spin....this is at 100 km/h.

Its nice having the power, just have to get used to it.


Pretty sure in low gear, 4 low I could pull a house of its foundation.

Man, I just gotta fix everything for you this week. :icon_rofl::icon_rofl:

Pretty sure you are right.

Just watch for the oil return fitting to leak at the rail. It's kinda a common issue. there are little quick connect fittings from the injection oil rails to (I think) the turbo, something in the valley anyway, and it's kinda common for the o-rings to blow out in them. Simple fix, but when it happens it leaks oil so fast you think you've cracked a head or something.
