I just got this monday and i love it. 95 F350 4X4 60 front & 60 rear with 5 speed. 7.3 turbo that gets 20 mpg out of a 97 wrecked truck with 60k miles & tons of muscle. Going to paint it, tint windows, better radio system and has brand new Nitto Terra Grapplers 305/70/16 E load rating. Also pulling the lawn maintenance trailer during the week....

^^good question...even I have been wondering so I narrowed it down to 60. It favors a 70 so I have wondered. It works great though with 4.10 gears
That same year had all three I think depending on manu. runs. Not sure really but, thanks for posting on it
 
^^^^Thanks Brandon, Im a Chevy and jeep guy but couldn't pass on good deal.
Dude, good luck on the Bronco, everybody I talk to has gas price issues. Im still trying
 
Nice. Not huge ford fan but I love that body style. I have many friends with trucks very similar that have minimal if any trouble out of them. Congrats on a nice truck man:beer:

Got a few people interested but hope to sell it soon
 
Nice truck, man. I've got a '94 like that one, only it's white. I just had the windows tinted and it makes the truck look so much better. The 4.10's are great for pulling and getting around town, but on the highway, she's a screamer. I try and keep it around 65 regardless of a higher posted limit. I get in the neighborhood of 15 - 18 mpg depending on towing or not. Enjoy it.
 
key to the stroke is lower rpms = better fuel mileage. Cummins folks have know this for a while. I run 3.55s and turn ~2000 at 75. At 65, its about 1750 and mileage really goes up.
 
dude you suck, thats my dream truck, wanna sell it???
 
thanks for the complimants, now tell me how to make it get more power, mpg, etc. My first diesal but I have been around a few other tow rigs that were a little newer
 
Before more power you need gauges (boost and pryo are enough since you have a 5spd), and probably a clutch. Not a ford fan either, but thats a nice truck. If I had to have one it would for sure be one with the 7.3L.
 
Also, wheris the best place to order some of this diesal stuff. I can do the work myself so I need good prices and shipping
 
www.beansdieselperformance.com my first order was EGR and Boost gauge with pillar mount, modified IDM, and DP Tuner switch with stock, econ, tow, and race settings. similar setup but extended cab short bed, and yea, mine SCREAMS on the highway, 80mph at about 3000rpms... i can easily cruise in OD starting at about 35mph
