I also had to clean the leather again today. It's only been 5 months and they looked BAD.

Yoke wrote002 wrote I also had to clean the leather again today. It's only been 5 months and they looked BAD. Believe it or not that is sun damage. I work out of state so I don't get to drive the truck much, but this is anline leather (fancy word for real animal leather) so the sun drys it out really fast and if you don't take care of it they start to look bad. Unfortunately the OP of my truck didn't take care of the seats at all lol. To clean them I use Eagle One leather cleaner, then I condition them with King Ranch leather conditioner. |

| Cummins swap or 6.7 PowerStroke swap would be pretty bada**. Quite a bit of money but a decent tune on either will probably yield better fuel efficiency and reliability. Obviously the EGR delete and tune will greatly increase fuel efficiency too. Do you do any towing or hauling? All-in-all, pretty bada** truck. I'm a big fan of diesels...especially tuned turbocharged straight piped diesels |

I'm a big fan of diesels...especially tuned turbocharged straight piped diesels There's a reason I went with a 6.0L instead of a 6.7L lol, emmisions constrictions are terrible (and expensive) on a 6.7L. No way in hell would I turn my truck into a Fummins either lol. As far as fuel economy, I didn't buy a 7k lbs truck to save on fuel. I get 16 avg with the truck configured as it is in normal driving conditions, but if I hypermile I can see into the 19 MPG range. Looking into a camper so that's the only towing / hauling this truck will do, past that it's more built as a farm truck. This thing would have no problem going over 10,000 GCVWR, however legally that's all I can do. No tune will be on this truck and and EGR will not happen. If I did do a tune it'd be a FICM tune to keep my injectors happy. Past that the only engine mod is a blue spring to increase fuel pressure and the only other one I might do is a coolant filter. Past that International built this engine the way they did for a reason so I'm keeping it that way. |

My old charge air cooler boots were leaking pretty bad so I got new Riffraff diesel CAC boots for the cold and hot side.

| Those red CAC boots add a nice accent to the engine bay. |

Lifted the rear 1.75". An F-250 has a 2" rear block and a F-350 SRW has a 3.75" rear block so I put F-350 rear blocks in my truck to give it a little rake since it was pretty level after I did the coil springs. Hard to see the difference but the top pic is after and the bottom is before.

I'm a big fan of diesels...especially tuned turbocharged straight piped diesels Well I guess I can't be truthful all the time now, can I? Picked up an SCT X4 tuner and threw on the performance tune (+120 HP and 248 torque) for the engine as well as trans and I blocked the EGR for max coal rolling capabilities. This is literally just for the picture, it will be set on the street tune (+105 HP and 130 torque), unless I'm towing in which case it will be set to the tow tune (+65 HP and 75 torque). The reason I don't use the lower power towing tune is because this tuner changes the shift points in the tranny so for daily driving without a trailer the tow tune would be terrible. With the street tune I won't roll coal unless I floor it from a dead stop in which case it will be a tiny puff of thin black smoke. I'll see if I can find the video of me flooring it from a dead stop while stock and compare it to the performance tune and post the video. |
