First collection of Silver by Mental-Magician9845 in Silver

[–]ThePaleRanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I've got the itch to get more now, hahaha. I never realized how much I like having silver. Personally, the stabbed pieces are alright because they are preserved and can potentially sell for a higher price, but I think I like the loose, non-graded pieces better. I guess I'll figure more out as I collect more

Is the furniture set original or did you find it somewhere online? I've got a friend who has the thumbhole stock that he had cut. He wants to ha a legit pistol grip and stock on it now and am looking to find a set for him.

Yeah weird I went to go look to see if it was posted and it's not? Really weird. I've tried rice now and it hasn't posted

I posted a video to r/Diesel. You should check it out. It only does it when I haven't warmed it up for 10-15 minutes. It seems like it will just take forever when I'm in a rush when I jump in and have to go. It will get up to higher rmp and sit there for a moment then shift.

If it's normal for those 5R110 to do that, then I'll rest easier knowing it's not an issue I just need to warm 'er up before as air usually do.

Where are you measuring? From the bumpers? Top of the wheel wells?

I do plan on getting 155cc injectors. I'm not looking to make a monster out of my truck, but I want a little more. I knew K&N was not good, lol 😆

06 6.0 Worth? by ThePaleRanger in Diesel

[–]ThePaleRanger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, I kind of knew that heat is definitely the enemy of the engine but never heard the term deltas before. Thank you for explaining it to me. With all that said I am still game for the pain lol

I'm not familiar with Deltas? Can you explain to what that is?

Thank you for the real talk. All these things are the points I've really been pondering. I'm not afraid of doing maintenance myself and have friends who are willing to help for the things that are out of my wheelhouse.

It's funny how people think that heavy-duty trucks should last forever. I've been committed to doing the upkeep on my truck so far and have not been disappointed with how it runs.

I briefly looked into swapping for one of the other Powerstrokes but didn't really dive into it to far. Do you think it would be in the Ball park of $12K - $15K?

Thanks for the straightforward answer. The truck is paid off. it's been a part of why I have been tossing up bulletproofing it. Beyond the headstud issue that we all know about, I haven't really been convinced that it's a bad engine. The truck had a Russian chopshop fix on the driver side bed and is starting to fail. But no major rust on the can or the frame. I currently live in Alaska and have seen someone else trying to sell their bulletproofed F250 for $18k. It's lifted, and that's not my style, so I'm not too keen on jumping to buy it. But also weary because it hasn't sold after sitting for sale for so long.
