Info about my truck, suggestions for mods
Picked this thing up about a week ago, this'll be my second F250 and my first PSD... first one was IDI.
1995, 177k
7.3 PSD, Garrett turbo, 4" turbo-back exhaust, exh. brake, Edge Evolution chip, K&N intake.
D60 front, Warn manual hubs, I believe its a Sterling 10.25 rear but I'm not sure.
6" lift, one-ton springs in front, 35" tires.
CB/PA, fancy-*** sound system, tinted windows, the works.
First thing I've noticed is I can only get around 70mph on the highway safely (around 2000rpm, 5lbs of boost). Since I have more than enough torque to spare and it looks kinda funny on the 35's, it's getting 37's tomorrow. I'm hoping that'll help my cruising speed a bit.
Next in line is the Pyro. The probe crapped out so the gauge doesn't work (hence the conservative highway boost pressures). I'm running a little low on $$ right now and will be until I ship out in a few months, so if anyone knows where I can find Autometer pyro probes for not too much I'd be grateful.
Then I need to clean up my gauges and switches and whatnot... I'm gonna make a nice clean switch panel and I'll probably get a pillar gauge thing for the pyro and boost, and get a fuel pressure gauge while I'm at it.
Then I gotta figure out if I wanna do stacks or dump dual pipes in front of the tires. I really like stacks cause... well... they're stacks. But if my exhaust is coming out up there I won't be able to smoke out ricers and hippies. I might do both just cause I can and it'd be different, I just can't decide if that'd end up being cool or just kinda dumb. But that's for another day.
Oh and by the way... Hi!

Got my 37s
Helped a bit, looks a lot meaner, sucks a little bit more fuel than before, and has some slight rubbing.

I would do dual stacks they look so nice on old style powerstrokes

start with one question at a time or put them in a list... I can not even begin to go thru your post right now...
Garrett turbo is stock, you will have a 3" down pipe to a 4" back, cant fit a 4" down pipe without a bunch of cowl work.
Dana 10.25 is stock on the OBS trucks...
