well theres my bumper it took on a 250 ec diesel at 35 with no damage and will push anything.
then id say adding the power locks windows and cc bucket seats (counted as one cause i did it all at once) just so much nicer
for power the bbc style air cleaner was great puralator pt number a63181 and a 2 inch riser is needed opened up the power a good bit.
then id say the oba even though its small for now its very useful

now on to future mods i cant wait for their amazingness
the turbo, 60 swap, and rear bumper will round it out to be truely apoclypse ready

In no particular order...
1. Regeared to 3.73
2. Dana 60
3. ZF5
4. Hydroboost (can't believe no one else posted this).
5. 95 Bench seat

If you don't have hydro, all I can say is get it! Probably the most comforting feeling I've had driving the truck is being able to stop driving! ;Sweet With authority I might add!

1. Snow Performance Water ****
2. 60 Series wheel in the ATS turbo
3. PABiodiesel centrifuge system. Not really a mod on the pickup, but it feeds the pickup and keeps my wallet fatter.

Within a week I hope to edit this and say the HE351VE was the best upgrade. :angel:

More information please! :)

There is a write up in the tech section. I used a Crown Vic fan since it is 2 speed and I found one in a local yard. No problems with it, not sure of the specs, but it is a rather temperate climate in this area. Not sure how much that could come in to play.
