it was a great truck, but the technology behind it was so far behind that I couldn't keep sinking money into it, when i could just buy something with all the parts there.

It was a non intercooled 7.3 that even after a ton of work only made 308hp and 620 ft/lbs. At time you could buy a newer diesel, with just tune and exhaust make 400hp, have a better transmission and better ride.

I bought the truck stock, lifted it, solid axle swap, upgraded the clutch, injectors, turbo, exhaust, intake, traction bars. It was a super cool truck, just quickly became impractical.
