Default New 6.9L Owner

I bought this ranch truck from my grandfather a few months ago. Truck has 385k on it and the motor was overhauled about 80k ago. While he was having the rebuild done he added an ATS turbo package. Since I have had the truck I tossed the beat up bed for a Hillsboro flatbed, and started plugging away at upgrades. I have done the exhaust, intake, gauges, ZF-5 swap and now working on new interior. The turbo puts out about 12psi right now, and it sounds great. I love driving this truck and pulling with it. I have since brought it to the ranch to show it off to my grandfather, and he loved the truck. Asked to buy it back. HAHA Anyway glad I joined up and looking forward to the wealth of info.

Thanks

Welcome. Very Cool. My dad had one, a dually. It didnt have a whole lot of power, but it was darn reliable. My dad worked it hard and ran the **** out of it. He sold it to his next door neighbor, with 329k on the clock, about 7 years ago. The old guy that bought it still has it, and pulls a 2-horse horse trailer with it. It smokes quite a bit now, but its still going.
