Went to the dark side....

[6.9poweredscout]

I found a few pretty good rot holes in the frame of my '85, the cab was falling off it and the ttb was beat I had to move on. The worst part was it ran sooooooo good though. I traded my '85, a pair of dually 4.10 60/10.25, a sw 4.10 60 and $2000 for a RUST FREE '97 obs stroker. So far I love it! Dont worry guys the scout is still staying an IDI!

nice. any plans for more power from the stroke?

 

[6.9poweredscout]

Yeah the guy has the exhaust cut cuz he thought the cat was blocked, got a turbo back dual exhaust kit ordered, doing the napa air filter upgrade and eliminating the ebpv. While im in there I may upgrade the turbine wheels. Then when I save up I'll get a custom tune programmer for it. It hauled the tractor amazing for bone stock.

My father has had way better luck with the obs strokers mainly the vans he has towed 22,000 pounds bone stock I mean completly stock nothing changed. There animals of there own kind. How many miles? 4x4?

 

[Devon Harley]

Needs both, the guy started to do the bodywork then decided to sell it

 

[6.9poweredscout]

Anyone know where I can get cab lights for it? The ones on it are cloudy and cracked. Either factory or clear.

 

[Devon Harley]

Looks good Jon. Couldn't get the that mid 80's red and white one I posted I presume?

 

[6.9poweredscout]

Thanks devon, I'll let you know. No john, the guy said he had a list of people looking at it.

When I read the title I thought you had bought a Cummins!! Scared me good. Almost started believing the Mayans were right!

Since when is a Powerstroke the dark side???

 

[6.9poweredscout]

Lol its scary because its electronic....and could leave you in the dark. No dodges or dirty c words for me!

Since when is a Powerstroke the dark side???

Ever since the ford-diesel.com days (i.e. before they had to change their name to thedieselstop.com and before a bunch of us abandoned ship and came to OB)...I think Mel coined the term, but I'm not sure.

IIRC the common reaction to a Cummins purchase involves farm animal jokes...

Jon, congrats on the new truck...although you still deserve half a swonking (let's see how many people remember THAT!!)
