Red truck gets some lovin

Well I had blown my hg's and with the abuse the truck had taken, it deserved it. 125k most of it tuned, 75 k with nitrous shots, turbo, 190's. I took it over to the shop and lifted the cab. Pulled the heads and sent them to the machine shop to get checked out flattened if needed, new valves, and the whole shebang. Deleted the rest of the egr. New oil cooler, new ipr, new icp, cleaned the intake, recovered my 8 mm socket, :D, new up and y pipes, new down pipe, 4", amp research steps to be installed next week. Figure I am keeping her, might as well make it like new.

Going to pull the injectors and send them to make them 155's or so, new nozzles. I'm tired of the smoke. Though about maybe twins and bigg sticks, but i have the ranger, so screw it, buying a mustang gt instead to have fun with and start building. Time for another 125-200k on the ole girl. :bowfast: I love my truck, why get a new one. :ford:

Awesome :D

Feel the same way. last year i did the same thing at 120k and almost the same situation, without the nos and 190's. Put new o-ringed heads back in with all the other stuff and gonna drive her till the wheels fall off. Then i'll weld them back on and keep going. :D

Was all that done on studs or the stock bolts?

Awesome Tim glad to hear it

When I read the title I thought we were gonna see Tim lovin on his trailer hitch Mikey style.....LOL

Tim i just recently saw your new front end on your truck. TITS!

Sounds like a good plan. :D

Stock bolts till 75k but the hg's were fine then. Studs since

thanks, unbrokens old bumper with a Harley grill.

What did u run in the quarter with this set up?

Sweet dude, I'm eager to see the results with some 155's. 8-hole 155's I'm assuming? And who is building them for you?

need pics, your truck looks sweet

Never ran it but it did 581/999 on a dyne.

I could have swore I saw you run 12.50's at TS the first year I was there (4 years ago almost). Hmmn... Maybe that was someone else.

I did run it at ts now that I think of it, but it never ran a 12.50.

on juice or fuel?

It is a clean looking truck for sure. I still think that 05' style front-end is one of Fords best looking F-series trucks yet...

on juice or fuel?

Small shot.

what were you fuel only and what turbo? beans something if I remember from other posts right?

I don't remember, I was right at 500 on fuel. I had a small shot of n20 only added about 80-85. Old ass beans turbo, that keeps on tickin.

New bushings throughout the front end going in today. The sway bar bushings were crap. Front end didn't feel tight like it used to, so I figured, get after it. Small tear in the drivers seat is bugging me. I have the black leather which I really like, so I can't decide if I want to replace with a new seat cushion, 285.00 from ford, or go with some aftermarket leather seat covers.

id replace it to keep the factory look if it was me

Maybe aftermarket with some red stitching or inserts??

Katzkin!

we need some pics of the red truck version 2.0.

Not sure this will work from my iPad, but here goes.

Nope didnt work.

Shoulda bought an Android tablet :poke:

It's all done, even did the entire front end bushings. Pick it up tomorrow. I plan to make damn sure it works, by sticking my foot square up it's ass.

Atta' Boy. LOL

So do the 155's have 8-hole or 6-hole tips? Are you expecting to see an MPG increase?

Did you take it to the shop in Manor?

Yeah I took it to Manor. I haven't done the 155's yet. I am gonna pull those out in a week or so, but the truck runs sooooo much better after cleaning the intake out and the valve job.

Now that's a good looking truck:ford:

Nice truck tim. I like the grill bumper combo.

http://www.powerstrokenation.com/photopost/data/500/medium/Oct_2010_fwd_051.jpg

Nice bumper who made it? I cut 4in holes in mine and welded up 4in pipe to do mine and bed linered it.

Where u get that grill from?

Yeah i haven't seen a bumper like that in the 05-07 superduty's with the fogs to the outside of the bumper. Oh.....it must be a harley bumper i bet then.

That's just a really sharp lookin' truck.

.

Thats unbrokens old bumper IIRC. Either he or Dan Cordoba made it I cant remember

Dan made that one.
If anyone needs one like it I'm thinking about making a few.

I'd probably take one.

.

Pm me a price

it sure looks sweet. is it just the platic piece that's modded for the fogs or the whole bumper? What kinda fogs does Tim have in the bumper? I'd love to see some close up pics of it and the fogs.

It's the steel lower 1/2 that's modified. The upper 1/2 is original.
Dan doesn't have time to make them anymore, if I had an order for 3-4 I could do them all at once.
I'd have to buy a bumper for 150 bucks at a local place I use, do the work and try to make a buck...so 350 + shipping with no core necessary. FWIW shipping ain't cheap....so I'd have to have a deposit at least to even start on one.
They are set-up for PIAA 520 lights.

$350 + shipping for a complete bumper? Or just the metal? Because if it's for a whole bumper, that's an amazing deal...

Id be interested in one. A deer put a nice dent in mine and you cant even get a oem bumper for that price.

I can buy the oem XL bumpers for 250 complete....just saw they upped their prices.
The price would have to be 400 plus shipping for a complete bumper...that shipping may be rough though...it's a large part as y'all know.
That doesn't include lights or paint.

Dan sold them for more IIRC but I'm a little more set-up shop wise to build them....and only making 150 bucks labor off each one is nothing. I'd do it cause it's kinda fun. My time is worth something though and a few hours fab time plus packaging and shipping time.

If I had several confirmed orders I could get them built in a week or so. I do have a regular job I have to be at every day.

If anyone is dead serious about wanting one PM me. Once I get 4 confirmed and ready to make a deposit for the core bumpers I'll let everyone know and start on them.
Here's the deal though...I'm NOT gonna lose a nickle on this from someone backing out. It's a non refundable deposit equal to my price on XL bumpers or it's not happening.

yeah that don't seem to bad of a deal. I was thinkin around $400 or so without shipping...so that's cheaper than what i thought.

i just don't know if i can lose my chrome bumper tho. I'm not so sure on how my truck will look with a fully painted front bumper with it starting out as an XL bumper.

Well I'll definitely take one once my truck is back from GoGo around March. I'll just pick it up from you so I can avoid shipping. :D

How much do you think shipping would be and would you bring it to TS?

A lot LOL and yes.

A lot better than you think.

I just photoshopped my chrome bumper and it didnt look bad at all

Crap. I thought these bumpers would turn into collector's items.

I just photoshopped my chrome bumper and it didnt look bad at all

I got rid of the chrome bumpers on my truck and love it! i also did a total 08+ rear end conversion did so much for the truck!

A lot better than you think.

I'm just dont sure with my truck being two tone with silver on the bottom. Do i do it silver or red. I just can't picture it looking good in my head either way. Maybe i need someone to photoshop it for me cause i have no clue how to photoshop haha. They definitly looks sweet tho.

maybe you can photoshop my truck so that i can see how it'd look...haha

Oops...nevermind it probably wont work. I don't have an '05-'07 bumper anyways. I'm still running the old style bumper.

Yeah I took it to Manor. I haven't done the 155's yet. I am gonna pull those out in a week or so, but the truck runs sooooo much better after cleaning the intake out and the valve job.

There's a shop in Manor? I don't ever see modded trucks, much less hear about any shops that know jack about anything. This is interesting...

Yeah, M&M diesel, right next to Riata Ford. Great guys. Jeff and I have been friends for years. He is a 17 year Master Ford Tech. Last year he broke out and started his own shop in Manor. Now he has 4 guys working there, and more work than he can shake a stick at. Real good and dependable, and honest as the day is long.

I have an 03-04 bumper that is red, maybe Rico can use that one for someone and see how the lights look for an 03?
