Modifications

There are no extreme performance modifications, all were intended for longevity.
6632 paper element intake(factory airbox also comes with truck if desired), Coolant filter with extra filter element,
dieselsite.com auxilary transmission filter with extra spin on elements.
Gulf coast bypass motor oil filter, this thing is great. It uses paper towel rolls for the filter element and keeps to oil clear between oil oil changes.
Factory exhaust including downpipe, however the factory Catalytic converter has been gutted, passes emissions however.
factory glow plug relay has been swapped out to the popular stancor industrial relay.
aftermarked headunit with aux cable wired in.


Parts that come with truck:
Extra filter elements listed above
spare injector from junkyard
spare cam position sensor
spare idler pulleys
spare turbocharger +$100
extra mirror glass for both sides - was going to convert the mirrors to be similar to bronco signal mirrors, never got around to it comes with the singal arrow that go behind glass

Truck has seen mostly highway driving as it was purchase just for that purpose. Im confident it will make it anywhere in north america with absolutly no trouble.
Averages beween 16 and 19 mpgs with it peaking at 21 on a few highway trips. 3.55 I bought the truck back in 2008 to do a few long trips with.
