Tag axle as in Tandem-Axle.
6 rear tires instead of 4 (Duals drive axle and singles non direction axle.)

No Air brakes on my rig.

The reverse cam is nice, lets you get a really snug fit and keeps an eye on kids.

Hit something?

sooo i dont know how many of you care, but for those of you that like learning about different vehicles ill post.
as we all know the 6.0s have a reputation in the diesel world.... however what if you could *(GASP)* make a 6.0 run like a 7.3 or cummins? about a 2 weeks ago I installed a coolant filter on my truck after i had the oil cooler done and EGR delete, changed it out for the first time today and cut it open, note, i am also using a Catapillar ELC "big truck" coolant and no longer using the motorcraft gold dexcool ****.




on the bottom picture on the left is what was in the oil cooler, which i attempted to cut open with a hack saw, but its heavier duty then i thought, and i had spent a few hours detailing and a few 6 packs deep, so im just going to wait till I can grab a partner saw at some point its like clay. right is what was in two of the "slats" of the filter and it was goo (what was left behind from the ford gold dexcool ****), now im no engineer for ford, but if you elimintate the clogging oil cooler, you eliminate the chance of the EGR cooler blowing (even though mine is deleted) and theres one less chance to blow the headgaskets (other reason is a HOT tune), that along with other basic maintence should mean my truck will run good from now on? well find out, its still young, its going to have to pull the matching silver cobra around in a few years when i finally get into a place that pays

 

Looks tasty!

Are you the first to try this or were you following a DIY thread?

If there were an easy way to get the 460 out of the MH I would swap a 7.3 in there and go with a nice Onan Diesel Genny.

 

couple of guys on powerstroke.org have been doing trial runs, i just cant believe the amount of casting sand in the filter, or all the goo/slime that came out of the coolant system, and I have service records from when it was brand new, coolants been flushed i baught it at 42k, it was done (and trans) at like 32k, and i had the work done at 85k

screw swapping a 7.3, theres enough room in that boat, toss a 4 and a quarter CAT and a 13 speed in there

 

Do you got any more pics of the crap that you and the others found?

While a 425 would probably fit, that thing would be so much heavier than the 7.3 not to mention ITS ****ING LOUD AS HELL!!! lol

I only have a little fiberglass doghouse to keep noise out. :P

 

nah. not sure if its from the damn rack moving out of place when i was doing a test run or if its binding in the rack from being lowered. MM said there shouldnt be a problem with that kit, i guess we will see.

i wish my car could dance like that eric

 

but it would sound awesome you just wouldnt be able to come into a campground to late or you would wake the whole place up

there are a couple of threads on powerstroke.org with pics, i only have one of a clogged oil cooler, (not mine) but ill see if i cant dig some up
