My new 7000# whip-
 

Well a few months ago I got tired of rocking the turbo neon. So I put it all back to stock and sold off all the parts, the car itself is going here shortly as well.

But I'm enjoying my new ride- still turbocharged if not HMT.

'99 PSD 6spd xlt-

lovin' life

stunna. i wanna buy one when i go work on the rigs.

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

Good deal if you mean $7000

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

I think not.....

check pricing on one of these- but I will tell you that I got a pretty good deal on it.

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

27000

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

At first glace I thought the title of this thread said My new 7000 whp

Haha, nice ass truck though.

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

powerjoke diesel's are real nice. My old foreman had a brand new F550 and he hauled some giant circuit breakers up a hill with it on a dual axle trailer (trailer+breakers=17500lbs) thing is unstoppable

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

Those things break all the time, should bought a duramax. :-X >:D

::flame suite on::

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

Fords are the most reliable out of the big three american trucks. Dodge's come with shot ball joints from the factory, and the duramax's are ball-less, and have the most engine problems out of them all.

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

I do like the duramax motors, however the powerstroke has been a ------- reliable motor in my dads 2001, so i beg to differ with you that they "break all the time", we keep racking up the miles, and there hasnt been a problem yet, we put the EDGE Attitude unit on it just before summer and a new larger exhaust, it really woke that truck up. Its fun to try and get a civic going at a stop light then cover him in diesel soot and smoke him (no pun intended) when the light goes green.

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

Well, just like everything, there's always going to be good ones. We just see a shitty load of these in my shop with turbo and tranny problems. We rebuild probably 5-10 powerstroke trannys a month. ;D

Me and a couple shop buddies were going to write ford a thank you letter for keeping our paychecks rolling. :-X

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

and just like everything, there are going to be bad ones

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

gay...

this is homemadeturbo not trucks and stuff

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

derrrr... the truck has a turbo... :1

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

that's precisely why I got the zf6 spd, because I know the auto trannies are the weak points of these trucks. besides, I hate automatics. >:D

I'll agree that the new 6.0l trucks are a pile- the motors just plain suck, I worked at a ford dealer for a bit and these things had waaay too many problems. they tried to fix it for a few years, but they're scrapping the motor altogether now. for the '07 model year they're putting out a brand new 6.4l twin turbo motor. Should be pretty pimp.

for the record, my motor is the 7.3l- and I've got the early model block that came with forged rods instead of powdered metal rods. this means I should be able to make around 450whp and 850lb ft. of torque before I have to upgrade anything with the block. I'll keep you all informed when I get near that #

thanks for all the replies.
when I get done with this thing, it should give a lot of imports a run for their money- and still drive in the winter and take my motorcycle to the track....

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

There's a local shop called Trucks 'N Stuff.. all the ricers hang out there, oddly enough :l

turbo truck = ok for HMT

We've had threads for everything from cooking, to ---- sex, to "Frank's Going to Japan!!111" :3 This thread is fine by me hahaha..

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

Have fun with it. :6

you've seen this thread right?

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

Does it really weigh 7000 pounds? My 97 E350 loaded to the fucken max going to the dump weighed just over 6000. Are the seats made out of lead or something? ???

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

i would went with a cummins turbodiesel.

best motor going. love the mid late 90s 3500 dielsels.

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

yeah, sadly the cummins is way ahead of the powerstroke in straight power potential. However, I worked at a dodge dealer for a few years too 8) and I just don't like the rest of the truck. Plus if I want this truck to last me another 200k miles, I'm going to have to not quite go all out :'(

and yeah Steve I'm not sure why it's so damn heavy, but no joke 7000 lbs.

tacoma v8 owns all

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

I can't stand that body style though, and I don't really feel like replacing injector pumps every 2 years :8

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

oh sorry i thought it was HOMEMADEturbo not buyaturbotruck

whatever still nicer then what i drive

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

well if it has a turbo it clears...

besides, why hate on him just because hes got something nice, so what if it came with the turbo, hes still got a nice platform to do alot of tuning... with a few simple mods he can make that trucks performance miles away from stock, and thats what this site is all about, turbo modification in your own garage... so dont get your panties in a bunch when someone wants to show what they've got

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

Listen dude, did you not see at the top where I said I dismantled my turbo neon? I completely custom built that car- I won't even go into the modlist here, but it was definitelly home-made. This truck is an opportunity to start with a better platform, do you hate on people who show up with DSM's?

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

Nice, My bro-in-law rebuilts those. He has 1, his bro has one, and his dad.

Being 99 it has the 6.1L right? Or are they 7.3L? I can't remeber.

Re: My new 7000# whip-
 

7.3L

Psst. Isn't this the "General Discussion" area? Following what SinisterCRX said, there's been a variety of topics, hence reasoning for having this section. ;) Hater!
