Hey guys, My name is Andrew.

I've been off at powerstroke.org with my 2000 7.3 since last November, but I recently had the opportunity to trade back into my old 04 Lariat and I took it! I miss the torque from the 7.3 but I am happy to be in a quiet, very nice, refined truck.

Truck is an 04 Ex cab in Wedgwood Blue with Gold trim. 138k on the ticker (sold it at 125k). I have a tan Lariat interior. I really missed my leather wheel and heated seats and I'm happy to be back in it!

Heres a pic. The guy who owned it added the limited 22s. When I had it it had the stock 18s. He gave me them back in the trade but the tires are all chewed up so I'm thinking I may just stick with the 22s. I'll only have this truck for about 18 months and I'm going to buy a used 2015 lariat. I'm not sure on the huge rims though any thoughts?

Wow crazy to get your old truck back. the 22's look a bit off to me. I;m sure you could get a pretty penny for them though!

I'm thinking about $1k in texas...

I like the 22's but with more tire, I think you could make then work. Got a picture of your 7.3?

Yeah I may run a 275/50r22. Get a little more sidewall.

Yeah here she is

Beautiful truck man

I miss it. But really needed to downsize. That thing was fast too. 66mm turbo, custom tuning.....nothing like the torque of a diesel.

The one thing I don't miss at all is the ride quality. The 7.3 rode like a stack of bricks. My f150 is so quiet and smooth in comparison. This 5.4 was my first truck and I remember feeling like it was so big when I got it. Now it feels like a luxury car! lol.

Yea those 7.3 sure ride hard, any ideas for the current truck?
