      Do yourself a favor, keep it stock. I’ve got a 2002 I bought new, thru the years I’ve replaced injectors, hpop, turbo, some wiring,etc. she’s got 425,000 + miles drive her every day. These motors (7.3 L) were designed for longevity. You start turning everything up and you’re going to kill it. Just a little advice from an old Ford man, good luck 👍👍🇨🇱🇨🇱

  • @chuckparson6712
    @chuckparson6712 4 месяца назад +3

    I'd recommend upgrading the motor and transmission long before swapping headlights, mirrors and other cosmetic items.
    Upgrading the up pipes, EBPV turbo pedestal delete with a high flow exhaust port, high pressure oil crossover line, FRX fuel rail crossover and deleting the muffler will make you feel like you have a completely different truck. I guess if you go for cosmetic swaps first, it'll look good broke down on the side of the road or on a tow truck 🤣
