New Guy, just outside of Spokane WA
New here, been on the site for information here and there, finally joined!
I have a 1997 Crew Cab powerstroke. It is an f350 with a 5-speed.
Bought it basically bone stock in Aug 2008 with 152,000 miles on it... Since then,
Besides regular maintenance, i have upgraded the exhaust from the 4in diamond eye dual (bent bad) to a dual 5in stacks (which NEED to come out) Put a custom made flat bed on it,
converted the EBPV to an exhaust brake, superchips programmer, (it was only $50 from a friend) and finally I JUST finished pulling the dana 60/sterling 10.25 3.54 SRW axles and put in a limited slip dually 10.25 with 4.10's and an 89 kingpin dana 60 with 4.10 as well. Can't wait to pull a load with the new axles.. although my wife isn't gonna like the mileage
Just paid it off as well, has 240,000 miles on it, still runs great. Looking to upgrade the injectors and air cleaner (have the stock replacement afe in it currently) as well as put an intercooler on it.
Ultimate goal is to find another motor or truck with motor to pull it out and rebuild to swap into mine and do the clutch at the same time.

thats not to far from where im at... I wanted to get over to alligator and do the dyno, but had other stuff goin on. hopefully i can make it out there next time. Always wondered what kind of numbers my truck will run. Not that it matters, just curious is all.
I will have to get some pics of my truck up, its been around the spokane area for a few years, most people recognize it if they have seen it. course that was with the 35" bfg's and now its a dually. Lookin to get rid of the stock steelies, and either get some 16" aluminums or been debating running some 22.5's, mainly cause i have a line on some tires that are like new and CHEAP. same with the rims.
