thanks for all the encouragement. i love when quality is appreciated. and Aggie, its ok, im 25 and have done alot of crazy things in my short life and can honestly say that the illnesses are keeping me alive. thanks to a good doctor in the area that has helped me exhaust all options and new treatments i can say im doing better. short term though, we have decided that a for now till the next new thing comes out im gonna be on narcotics and have been for almost a year. its all about genetics and how you treat your body when your young. ive, rodeoed, down hill mountain bike raced, been a full time farrier, horse trainer and have been welding and turning wrenches as far back as i can remember. so taking my time and enjoying what i do is what i focus on now. people say you are only young once and till you figure that out you are just spinning your wheels, no matter the wealth or lack of you can never truly enjoy it till you enjoy life. i have a wife 2 kids and an x that i am proud to say i do my best for everyday. your words of praise are inspirational to me and make me love what i do even more so thank you.

EAggie how far are you from cushing OK i used to build tanks on the tank farms there. and i love the f150.

 

Thanks dude

Im not but about 30 miles from there. Been through there a couple of times. I shadowed a Warren CAT salesperson and we visited some Cushing clients, and then I went through Cushing when I did 3 days of student teaching at drumright.

 

LOL small world. ive built many tanks in cushing. and have some good friends in the 50 mile area. just hate the 3pm thunder storms and then the freaking heat and humidity after.

I'm looking for the same motor for my 07 F450. The 6.0 imploded and want to put a 05 or newer cummins in it. Where did you find the engine if I may ask?

 

I would recommend checking craigslist, thats where I found my donor. Other than that, ask around.

 

the prices on craigslist are starting to **** me off. A beat to rat chit 12v with 400K on it for 5500 bucks. these guys need to dream on.

All the cummins engines are through the roof. You can't even buy a damn core for less than 1200 bucks!

 

Good God glad I dont live where you do

There were a bunch of good deals last time I checked around my area

 

hell, send one my way! i need a 215hp 12v bad!!!

 

staggs auto salvage in west monroe LA (318) 325-1563 great prices on engines and no core charge, damn laptop has been acting up, didnt help that my sons sippy cup was thrown on at it. finished the engine. ready to run, put the ride rite 5k lb air bags and a mag-hytec rear dif cover on it today. 2mro i will mark all the wires and install the odb2 plug. still waiting on the clutch and flywheel to come back from southbend. a little tip for those that dont know, you have to grind the block and the starter for it all to fit together! my words were WTF! when i tried to put a starter on it and it was like putting a square peg in a round whole it just wasnt happening. had to grind the lip off of the starter. here are some more pics Enjoy

man that engine looks awesome!!
