Diesel Power 09-05-2003, 04:41 PM My neighbord just sold his 84 Bronco and bought a 73 Blazer.. does that count? it just went to the other neighbor so i can still see if from my house... TomHill 09-05-2003, 07:02 PM No, sorry judges ruling. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif Tom Traveler 09-05-2003, 07:15 PM I'm a Ford Man, Not as new as yours, but I am with you. Just getting started on Mods, Ceramic coated down pipe, 5" exhaust, Intercooler. Stage II injectors soon to follow, and I don't even have a chip yet. After that who knows, turbo, propane. I am kinda working off the Hypermax 14 second excursion, when I get there I may back off. Oh yeah I have a Gear vendor also, sweet! Single 53 gallon Fuel tank. Working on four wheel disk brake setup now. TomHill 09-05-2003, 09:11 PM Trust me, once you start you can't stop. It's just to much fun. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gif Tom hdmax 09-05-2003, 11:58 PM Way back, I had a few Fords. My first three trucks were Ford. My first new truck was a Ford Ranger XLT Lariet F-150 4x2 I'll have to find a picture to prove I'm not fibben Wickedsprint 09-06-2003, 08:59 PM I just sold my 97 F250 powerstroke...thank goodness too, ran well though, but that tranny is a timebomb. Dieselman84 09-06-2003, 09:08 PM I have a 99, with TS chip 75-125-OMG settings, AFe intake, straight piped and autometer ultralite gauges. Here is a link to my pics.http://community.webshots.com/user/afiguy16 Mike Holsteinman 09-06-2003, 10:47 PM At one time I owned a 1977 LTD for a winter beater car. I needed it because no way my S-10 with a V-8 was going to hold the road. dmaxalliTech 09-07-2003, 01:37 AM Hey ford guys, I work with a fellow that just bought a 00 C/C dually ford with the stroke in it, has a banks kit in it now (chip, exhaust, bighead acutator) he want to go faster, what would you rec to him as far as chips go, He is looking at superchips, edge, etc. How much will the E4OD hold? truck has 90k on it, its a lariet le, he gave 19k for it, good deal? TIA captainmal 09-07-2003, 11:50 AM TOMHILL, Chatted with some guys yesterday that inquired about the lemons on the sides of my Duramax. One fellow told me a story about his friend "Roger" who bought a Ford 6.0. It pucked up it's coolant from a leaky injector and he has not had the truck for almost a month. Another fellow said his buddy also had trouble with a new Ford diesel and had lots of engine work under warranty. My neighbor had a '99 Ford diesel that needed 6 clutch assemblies. They all needed "SETUPS" to keep their trucks running. cdoohay 09-07-2003, 01:16 PM http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley1.gif OK I was a Ford guy. Just got the DMAX 4 months ago. I still ride with my friend in his Ford. Does that count for any thing?

Jim TomHill 09-07-2003, 04:40 PM Hey ford guys, I work with a fellow that just bought a 00 C/C dually ford with the stroke in it, has a banks kit in it now (chip, exhaust, bighead acutator) he want to go faster, what would you rec to him as far as chips go, He is looking at superchips, edge, etc. How much will the E4OD hold? truck has 90k on it, its a lariet le, he gave 19k for it, good deal? TIA As far as price goes that seems like he got a deal, depending on condition of course. 4r100 will take a lot of abuse. I know mine has. However it will not last by just hiking up the line pressure. I chipped my truck at about 20k miles, added shift kit at 21k miles and then propane at 25k. It has 76k miles on it now and it's a 2001. It depends on how fast he wants to go and how much money he wants to spend. I will recommend that whatever he does please, please for the sake of the tranny add a Transgo kit. I put one in after I chipped it because my tranny was already a mush meal to begin with and all the chip really did was change shift points. I actually pulled and drilled the transgo calibration plate a second time after I installed it to firm up the shift even more. If he plans on keeping the truck for a while and wants it chipped, I will recommend that he just gets a larger converter. I'm personally going with Suncoast for mine. Unfortunately you cannot just chip a ford without making a modification to the tranny so it will last. Some will argue with me on that point. Electronics will only do so much without the help of hardware. Tell him to get an adjustable chip from either from Bill http://www.dieselpowerchips.com or from David http://www.dieselinnovations.com (http://www.dieselinnovations.com). Make sure he gets the OMG setting. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley4.gifEdited by: TomHill Dieselman84 09-08-2003, 06:07 PM Add TS performance to that list. Bill at dieselpowerchips.com uses TS chips with his special programming. I am super happy with the TS, it burns the tires when it shifts to secondhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cool.gif It will blow his banks kit away. You do not want to run propane with any of those chips unless you get a custom burn to use propane with. Too much timing+propane= broken rods. Like Tom said the stock tranny is not very good at holding that power. If he wants to go fast for a really long time tell him to check into a BTS or Suncoast tranny. Do a converter and shift kit at least.

TIA I'll second (or third., or whatever) getting a BTS 9or Suncoast) tranny & dieselpower flip chip (TS & DI are good, too). Tom Cat 09-22-2003, 08:47 PM Me I am a Ford guy, I like the Olds cars and I own 2, I will drive a GM car but I only own Ford trucks!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif Tom Cathttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cool.gif Quadzilla 10-14-2003, 03:06 AM I've have 2 fords, I like them. Only truck I don't ever keep is the Dodge. We buy them, work on them, sell them. They make killer power, but the truck just doesn't fit me. The new 6L is a bad boy! It won't be as fast as the fastest DMax, but it sure is smooth and has ltos of room, and you can tell its 4x4! hoot 10-14-2003, 06:36 AM I got an old 1973 Ford 4500 Industrial backhoe. And it's a diesel. DMAX2DAMAX 10-14-2003, 11:31 AM I had to sell the only Furd I've owned in the last 30 years so I could buy my 03 Dmax. Does it count? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/uploads/55_Left_Front_w_Trophies_sm_2.jpg BTW, don't take it personal, I also had to sell a chevy to come up with enough cash! http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/uploads/Driver_side_front_2_sm.jpg hoot 10-14-2003, 11:37 AM I ain't selling this FORD for nothing..... I'm not sure which one needs the body shop worse http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif http://www.uscom.com/~hoot/cars/duramax/gmc/Isabel/images/DSCN3974.jpg Edited by: Diesel Power DMAX2DAMAX 10-14-2003, 03:16 PM The one was an accident but that other one is natural causes! I guess the ol saying, "on a quiet night you can hear a Ford rust," applies to their backhoes too! hoot 10-14-2003, 03:22 PM The one was an accident but that other one is natural causes! I guess the ol saying, "on a quiet night you can hear a Ford rust," applies to their backhoes too! Sorry to divert the attention... You had a couple of old beauties there!

The Ford was a real show quality truck and the chevy was a far away beauty. It was real friendly though, it waved to you when it went by!
