Recently bought 1997 F350

@no4mat - Welcome to the ORG!! Great to have you here. Good lookin' truck!

Scroll down the main forum list to the Ford Powerstroke 94-98 7.3L Forums. Great members who can help with questions you may have.

Awesome looking 350! Looks great as it sits, do you already have any mods in mind? Personally, a nice brush guard looks great on the OBS trucks (Really any Super Duty IMO) CB radios are pretty nice to have on hand too. I have a 6.0 myself, so don't have any 7.3 mods in mind.

Thanks partner. I was thinking maybe getting a hydra chip tuner and chrome front and back bumpers.

Cool truck! It looks well kept. How many miles?

230k i though it was decent mileage.

e99 intercooler, wicked wheel, exhaust, 6637 NAPA air intake with mesh cover (RiffRaff can hook ya up) EGT, fuel, trans and HPOP gauges if you can opt for the 4 pillar pod, Hydra or TS 5-switch are cool options! Tend to liven it up a bit!
BTW she's a beauty!

If you are thinking of a chip, the Hydra is the best option in that category. We do have them in stock. Top 3 things for basic performance upgrades are a tuner, exhaust, and upgraded air intake kit.

Tonneau covers are pretty nice too. We carry quite a few brands, but haven't had a chance to get them on the website yet.

Thanks man. I appreciate the recommendations too.

If you want it to last, keep it stock. Any chip will kill the E4OD transmission unless upgraded (assuming it's an automatic?)

The only mods I'd recommend (off the top of my head) are:

1) delete EBPV

2) unplug fuel bowl heater

3) diamond eye 4" turbo back exhaust (with or without muffler... I run without)

4) install ground wire switch for PCM glow plug control with LED. You can monitor glow plug operation and kill them when not needed saving battery/relay/glow plug wear and tear.
