I made my first post awhile back and i read on here at least 6 hr's a week since February. I've got an 89 f-250 4x4 5sp 7.3 reg cab long bed
Next spring i'm thinking about building it into my dream truck once i have full amount i'll need. I'll start with a series of question's i'd like answered since i'll start hoarding parts soon this first one is most important I will be hauling 30ft gooseneck trailer with backhoe tractors other trucks van pulling cars or trucks out of dirt where they've been sitting will an rebuilt idi with a tubo do this and last or for the power deparement would i be better off to build up an power stroke and install ???
if i did build idi here's what i'm thinkin
tubo for sure waste gate for non waste gate?
intercooler i've been reading alot about but no idea what it really does
93 or 94 rods
full motor rebuild and port and polish new valves hold 9 yards large oil pan custom aluminum air intake
new clutch and probly and transmission and transfer case rebuild every bearing new new rims and tires
moose pump i hear it's like the best ?
keep hearing some thing about 97 power stroke front end ?? what does it do that's so good ??
new glow plugs moto craft i think ?
2.5 inch lift
new paint same color scheme tho
Should i keep my 88 clip or put a 92 and newer front end on ???
custom bumpers lights
sound system for white people
f-150 leather seats out of 2002 model with fold down
i think i'm on right track over all if you guys had to do it again idi or powerstroke for the hard work i'll be doing ???
how much do you think i'm in for a full rebuild of my truck front to back new paint rebuild motor bearings seals fluids shocks lift custom bumpers lights longer lasting battery's right now i'm guessing $12,000 i want the best for my money this truck will be with me for a long time and i'll be using it alot so i want to try to avoid all down time that i can.
how much do you think ?
thanks alot for any info or questions you can answer
