I've been thinking about it. What year is yours?

04. Make sure to count the turns that each front bolt takes. Whichever takes the least needs to be matched to all 4 corners so you keep the corner weighting in check.

Yup. So that one is Admiral Blue.

Newp, LeMans Blue sans factory stripes as it had a full repaint in 2018. It's a Commemorative Edition with the carbon fiber hood and polished wheels, 18x10.5" on all 4 corners.

Ok, I was wondering where they went.
 
Slowly inching to 300k on the rainier

Dad's new service truck. Needs cab corners welded in and the frame finish welded and the shorter driveshaft welded. Plus fabbing a bed. Paint, and a seat. Otherwise, almost rust free, 6 speed 200hp 6.6 intercooled diesel for $1200. Dad's going to lower the rear end a few inches and de truckify it.

Going to be sad to see the f350 go away. Hauled all my stuff through HS and I painted it when I was 14 when it wasn't rusty. Dad's had the 6.9 IDI drivetrain since '89.

What was it, a week's driving to clean the tune up?
He originally said 500 miles
I remember the first few weeks of driving after I got my old F150 back together. I didn't trust it at all and I was paranoid about any noise I heard. Felt strange to actually be using it for transportation.

Glad to see you've got it back on the road.
Yeah that's where I'm at LoL every little thing is WHAT WAS THAT!?
 
Tonight I went to pay Ben for the tuning and talk to him about the high rail pressure problem. After a bit of conversation I guess I got officially sponsored by Jersey diesel performance. I'm setting him up with the body shop where I work for all his body and paint needs. There's a jersey diesel performance sticker going on the window of my truck and and my live EFI needs are now on the house for as long as I have the truck. I will be painting 2 bed sides for him however. There brand new skins for his super duty that he drag races they just pin to the roll cage. I don't minde doing that kind of stuff anyway so it's a quite fair trade in my opinion. He did a few changes to the tune tonight and it felt more like my truck driving home. He's currently writing all new tunes for it tonight and he's going to text me sometime tomorrow to come and have him load them in. He said my daily driver eco tune will be about 100hp over stock and for fuel economy. It will also have a towing tune and the other 3 will be performance 5 being set on kill. And set on kill it should be in the 700 range. Handy at a run your tow rig event. Could be fun. I've just got to figure out where I'm putting this sticker now. I'm not a big sticker guy unless it says W-30 or RAM ROD 350 something like that.
