3-20-11 First pull with new powerstroke. Getting ready to head to shop to pick up my buddy manny's mini car for okechobee derby.






Truck did a great job!! Hauled with the a/c on running 2500 rpm most of the way there(70mph but I think truck is really only doing bout 65) Deffenilty can't wait for 4" straight pipe, 6637 filter, egt gauge and ts 6 pos chip!! Truck did great just need just a tad bit more power :-D

3-23-11 Washed the air filter, Put in new thermostat as the old one was stuck open and put new gasket in. Also it was that time of the week, so washed the truck.

Old T-stat



New T-stat



Had to buy new screws as I dropped one and couldn't find it, went ahead and replaced all 3
