Sounds good. I've read on here of guys getting their trucks to nearly 225 and no bells and whistles. But that is stock and towing up to trucks tow weight. I would imagine we would be a little less. I plan on changing my pan out to an AFE or mag tech just for more fluid and maybe regain some degrees. What's everyone's opinion on that idea?

That's a good idea. It's one of those it's not a big deal but a big deal at the same time. I would do it man a solid upgrade if you tow a bit.

Do you have a trans cooler? MAX TOW EBs all get those, IIRC, so I'd simply add one of those if you don't have one.

Yeah they are sweet. I don't need a 350, 250 will pull anything I need. But whatever I find for a good deal when the time comes. I'll be paying the SHO off in a couple months, and hopefully the platty by dec. Hoping to use bonus and tax return to get the 250 after the first of the yr

Gonna be sweet man, I miss my old mans 250 that we had. It was an 02 F250 Reg Cab Long Bed Gasser. If I didn't get my truck I wanted to either 7.3 or 6.7 swap with 8in lift 37s and 18s, iron cross front and back, tow mirrors, wrap the truck. We ended up trading in my truck when I got mine. Could of done the payments without trading the 02 in.
