Re: "Lee's Limo" 2001 F350 crew cab 4x4 diesel
The thought of a cummins swap has entered my mind several times - even starting with a V10 truck when gas was over $4 a gallon.... talk about fire sales.
Well - IT'S ALIVE!
I think I maybe loosing a battery - or, a starter.... I don't like the way it's starting.
But - it runs and drives, and the biggest change I noticed is how QUIET it is! I know that's a strange statement about a powerstroke - known to blow the eardrums out of drive through window servers all over the country --- but this damned thing is half as loud as it was before -- rebuilding the injectors made a HUGE difference.
The idle is still not silky smooth (I know Scott - it's not a cummins!) I'm not sure if that will smooth out anymore or not.
Right now it is hooked up to a battery charger here at work - hopefully the battery will come back - otherwise it's time for one or two new ones - the one looks fairly new already. One of the problems is the cable ends are beaten up pretty badly - I'd like to replace the ends - but that's no easy task on a two battery system.... new cables are $$$
