OT: No More Tow Piglet!
- Thread starter Ryan
- Start date
That's a pretty serious rig. I hope the 6.0 behaves or we will be hearing about needing to "choke the pig" instead of the bitch.
Pretty damn nice!

Very nice Ryan! :thumbsup:
How do you get to go to Road Atlanta before me!?!! :cryying:

Thanks Bruce!
And its called 'visiting the in-laws.' Val's mom lives so close to RA you can here the cars and its about a 5 minute drive to the main gate. I went to Petit LeMans in Oct '08 and slept like a baby listening while they were practicing!
That's overkill for your car!
very cool :coolman:

I'm going at the end of July w/ Chin Motorsports. Let me know if you are serious!
Very very nice truck Ryan. Congrats:beer::beer:
I don't know if I could do the end of this July, I would like to, but for sure a future date. I am on vacation mid month and not sure I can get away a week or so later.
You need to do a NASA event with Greg and myself later in the summer.

Nice truck Ryan. I drive the same one. I get to call the first mod: Harley Davidson headlights for the black out trim.
Carry a spare set of fuel filters (remember, there's two) and a 6mm hex wrench as a just in case "water in fuel light going off" emergency. Cheap insurance. 60k on my truck and never a water incident but that's why you carry spares, to ward off the evil spirits.

Stock everything. No tuner. Except for the EGR cooler and alternator going out, its been drop dead reliable.
Just replaced the batteries after almost six years. Also, might not be a bad idea to add a coolant filter setup. I did after the EGR cooler cracked. I still love the truck. The 11's 750 lb/ft of torque is damned tempting... but having no payments pretty much puts that to rest.
Enjoy it!

Ryan, I visit Thedieselstop.com for a lot of my info and research on my Ford Trucks. It is a Ford only site and lots of helpful people there.
My '02 has a turbo back 4" exhaust, an AFE 2 intake, and a Hypertech programmer. I have the programmer set on max, which is still safe to tow up to 12,500lbs. I doubt I'll do much else to it. It is very reliable. I just installed an Edge Juice w/ attitude in my '08. I highly recomend this if you are looking to make a mild performance increase and would also like a set of gauges at the same time. I have it set on the lowest power setting and the module holder looks factory. It gives you 4 guages in one, that you can view at all times, and reads anything that the factory computer reads. It is a good idea when towing to stay abreast of your EGT and trans temps.

Doug - I have the Insight on the way. I bought the attitude thinking it did the Insight thing. I'll hook a thermocoupler up too. Then, its just here and there for things on it. The only thing driving me nuts right now is no Ipod hook up!
Also - was your R at a Ford Show on Saturday up in Glenn Burnie? Some SVO guys said a s/c'ed 95 R was there, but I didn't see it. :shrug:

I was in Silver Spring with the R. I would be curious to know who else has a supercharged '95 R. The only other one I know of was for sale down in Florida and was converted to drag strip duty. Made something like 750hp. Not much R left of it except for the body and most of the interior.
If you want a new Stereo for your truck with Ipod hook up, check Crutchfield. They had a nice Clarion unit, with Nav, on clearance for $500. I got the one model above it for another $200 so I could have HD and a couple other small features.
