well after selling my f150 a about 2 years ago i really needed a tow vehicle so i bought this.. its a 05 f250 diesel.. dont have many pictures of it at the moment but the interior is mint! the rest of the truck was definitely taken care of. I already ordered a mrbp exhaust for it and ill be doing a 3'' lift and not sure what wheels and tires yet but i was thinking 20'' kmc badlands.. what do you guys think?

By 05 a lot had changed on the 6.0 . It's a good motor . Just keep synthetic in it and put a coolant filter on and no towing on a race tune lol.

Do the sinister diesel Bulletproof EGR cooler or just do the complete delete. Remember, if its 05 and up, you'll need a programmer to kill the CEL on those when you do an EGR delete.

Sinister has lifetime warranties on most of their products. When we were selling the delete kits and the BulletProof EGRCoolers we NEVER had one come back or not be able to be installed for any reason. Great company. If you sweet talk the girls who answer the phones you might be able to get them to send you a T-shirt and some decals. I know I managed to get a few sent but then again we were ordering 4-6 kits every 1-3 months depending on the weeks.

Welcome to the 6.0 club. Some preventative measures and she will be good to go for many miles. 22" super singles get my vote.

If you're putting a 3" on her throw some 37's or bigger on it. Do not, I repeat, do not put 35's on that truck with a lift.

Good looking trucks by the way.

Nevermind the 6.0 haters! haha! Love my 2007! I'm running the SCT Livewire tuner/monitor. Nice to know all of the pids at a glance.

Good luck with it.
