Yes sir. Haven’t wanted to out the truc up to work on it haha. I also think chopped the frame and shorted it since I sold the rzr. But decided not to. Too much work haha

Alot of guys were making "shorty's" for dragging. Usually taking a regular cab 350 and chopping it down to use the short bed from the crew cabs, then turning the screw all the way up and making drag trucks lol.

That’s kind of where I was headed. But with my hitch extension in the back of the axle and drive shaft issues I ran into I canceled it snd said screw it I’ll have a fast long truck hah

Hey guys I have a question for y’all with gauges on your head unit. I have an atoto head unit and I like it. I just ordered an OBD2 adapter to Bluetooth the gauges to atoto. I can’t get the adapter to connect on atoto. It doesn’t even show it as a device at all. What is everyone running for head unit, adapter, and app to make this happen. I have an edge monitor but I think it looks cool on the head unit also. Thanks in advance.

I don't know if Forscan will run on the head unit but I think a few guys are running torque pro on them.

 

[2003_6.0lariat]

How do I get torque pro onto the head unit? I can but it on my phone but shouldn’t the adapter connect directly to the head unit?

First off I am very poor in this technology stuff for my age range, so with that warning in mind here we go lol. I believe your head unit will have to be able to accept bluetooth which I'm assuming you have. Then it will have to be able to find the OBDII adaptor. Once that is happening I'm not sure if people have their phones tied to the head unit and are essentially just casting it to the head unit or if the actual app is downloaded to the head unit. I believe I basically have just said everything you already know haha.

Haha I am thinking along the same lines as you. What I think I have found is I got an older version of the atoto unit and it doesn’t accept the apps to be downloaded so I would need to upgrade the head unit. Sounds like a later time problem haha. More pressing matters for the teuck.

I actually just bought a 10-inch atoto for my truck two months ago and put it in (thing is awesome) and from what I’ve seen it does, I think you would just need to screen cast torque pro or forscan from a phon using the AutoLink option they have on the menu

Ya I saw that option to cast the phone so I might try that and see.

Alright guys I’m still here. I’ve run into an issue with the truck being a single cab. Been looking for another truck but since prices are ridiculous I’m having a hard time finding something. I found a crew cab that I could swap onto my chassis and fab up rear mounts. Anyone on here have any info on this. I’ve googled it but only found stuff on OBS trucks no super duty’s. I know the frame ramps up where the cab ends so I’ve seen people have to put body lift kits on to clear that obstacle. But doesn’t seem too big of a deal. I’d have to figure out inter cooler piping with body lift but doesn’t seem impossible but is it practical?

So I did something. For anyone who still gets updates on this thread. Haven’t done much to the dually but I bought this truck also. Plans are in the works for what I want to do. We will see how much it needs once I get it torn apart. I bought I just as it sits, half way torn apart and was told it’s building coolant pressure.

I like it. What's the plan for it?

 

[2003_6.0lariat]

Well I think what I’m going to do in the spirit of getting it on the road quick, I’m going to swap the motor from the blue dually into it. Get it on the road and drive it as needed. Then I’m going to rebuild the engine that came in the tan truck and make it a beast to eventually go back into blue truck. Shorten the blue one finally and make it more of a race truck. So I’ll have a nice 4 door driver that is still fun. And a shortened dually “race” truck for messing around with. I have a company truck for daily driving so luckily time isn’t an issue. The engine rebuild will take a while due to funding. But we will see what happens. I think all I need to swap on the engine is the rear cover cuz mine is manual and then new truck is an auto. Does that seem correct to you guys?

That should be a pretty straight up swap. I wish I had the answer for you.

 

[2003_6.0lariat]

Yeah that’s what I’m hoping. The Icp sensor is in the valve cover in both trucks so everything should line up once I swap those rear covers. Although I noticed today a bit of coolant on my degas bottle so I gotta figure that out. If that engine is pressurizing then I will just fix this
New engine.

Flywheel and rear cover is all you should need.

A good example of head gasket failure from a coolant loss and/or overheating. The heads are hottest at the exhaust ports, excessive heat can expand the heads to the point that studs would be yielded.

It's also the coolant orifice in the gasket where on the 6.4L heads, the orifice was changed to allow more coolant flow.

Thanks for the input/ input. Just about hit the trans out gonna get that out and then work on the engine. Hopefully have it out soon. Clean it up and not then pop it into the new truck. Hoping this goes pretty straight forward haha

Just imagining and wondering out loud here. I always wanted one of the crew cabs with the manual tranny. Not necessarily pushing you one way or the other (wink wink) but could you take the manual out of the dually and put it in the other one? Purely for my satisfaction obviously lol.
