The truck I'm driving right now has 460,000 on it, and its still going strong.

The truck books for $11,000. I even found a "blowout" clearance leather kit form one of my suppliers. So for $150 it will get leather!

How much boost can you build with yours not towing anything. Mine seems to hit a wall at 18 lbs. Do I need to get a "boost fooler" or will it go up with a load on it?
Mine is a 1997 F250 4WD PowerStroke with 67,000 on it <g>vegaracer wrote:The truck I'm driving right now has 460,000 on it, and its still going strong.

I'm a piker, I know
it's a 24valve 99. My VP44 was replace less than a year ago. Gonna get a fuel pressure gauge for sure! It's supposed to have bigger injectors, 100hp chip, it has a van aaken pump controller, straight pipe.hugger73hatch wrote:spaz109 wrote:350,000 I was a little uneasy about that but my father-in-law and a good frien are big diesel guys and they said it sounded like they have replaced everything that needs to be replaced for those miles.

I have some goodies on mine, but right now I have to pull it off and send it back to Edge....been saying I was going to do it for the last 6 months, maybe it will happen this weekend. Anyway, I have hit 22 lbs. What year is that truck? 12 valve or 24. Keep an eye on lift pump/injection pump, if it has a VP44. I had to replace mine last year. Those pumps are not cheap...>$1,000 for just the pump.
