Differences in early 99's bad?

[strokin_early_99]

Only 35-40psi........

yeah yeah... laugh it up.

As soon as I replace my turbo, fuel pump, send the chip in for some more tunes and stud this bad boy.. I'm going to be upset if I'm not tickling 550-575hp.

I'm determined to pull a Marty apparently.

Also, 35-40psi on this little turbo sounds nasty. It does not like it at all. No bearing noise (yet), just a sound like it isn't supposed to be doing that much pressure at those temps.

Tow? Not really. But I'll be purchasing a 30ft 5ver soon.

Nozzles? This is something we can talk about offline. I may be wanting to change up some stuff and I don't want to be public about it JUST yet. I'll pm you sometime this weekend.

Yeah, like someone posted earlier the worst thing about the early Powerstrokes is the cup holder! Gotta get one of the later model cup-holders!

Mine had the plastic finger type when I bought it and it works great. Been 4 or 5 years now and a cup has never fallen out, even with the way I drive.

The cup holder vs cup thrower is not an "early 99" issue. I got a cup holder out of a 2002 and put it in my early 99. Works great.

The cup holder was my first mod....

My main gripe with my early is the $ that is and will be spent to make it late-ish- just bought a PCM, going to upgrade to a late track bar (so I can get an adjustable one for a front levelling kit) and 17* HPOP eventually as well. I don't use the cupholder enough to worry about that mod but have considered it My early bird is a sneaky one though- I have the door badges instead of the fender badges. Build date 10/98.

Can someone tell me if the front brakes are the same on the early 99 for the 2wd models. I've seen notes that the front hubs and brakes are different for the early 99's but is that just for the 4wd?
