Yeah I've got 150k miles on my truck so I'm doing Yukon 4.56s and Yukon master overhaul kits in both differentials. The Yukon kits come with timken bearings and seals which are normally really high quality. They're pricey but worth it in my opinion. I'll most likely never have to open the diffs up ever again knock on wood.

That's what I've heard. They seem to be one of the best, so I'm okay with spending the money on them. I wish ford made the gears, if they did I would go with them. As it stands though, they don't and yukon seems to be the best fit and quality.

I posted this in the favorite pic section, but this picture is definitely worthy of the thread.

Little comparison of the day I brought her home and now.





And now. The only thing that's recent from this picture is, I removed all the f150 badges and replaced them with new same era badges without triton decals.





And that's going to be one of, if not the last picture posted of the truck like this. Bigger things are coming soon..

Well the bigger things have come! Except in a different package. Just sold old widah maker. That truck will be missed dearly, but inherited my dads mint 99 f250 I've wanted since I was a kid. It's pretty much bone stock, except a few performance mods. I plan to just keep this build thread and use it for the 7.3 So if you guys are interested, keep on following it. I dont have any pictures of at this very moment, so here are some pictures of WM the day she was sold.

Sad to see it go! Your truck was my favorite 10th gen on this forum. I had an early 99 7.3 before my current truck. Hope you have better luck with your new truck than I did with my old one

Thanks man. Yea, I have some of the best memories of my life in the black truck with a lot of me in it too. At least I can keep the memories even though she's gone. But, the f250 I got is literally the only truck I was willing to sell the black one for. I've wanted it ever since I was a little kid. It is literally showroom condition new. Inside, outside and under. My dad knew the original owner and bought it from him around 12-13 years ago If I remember right. He had all the service records and babied it, then my dad bought it from him and rarely drove it. Just got used to tow the camper once a year and back and forth to church or an errand here and there. I think my dad only put around 30k on it the whole time he's owned it. She's been babied and taken care of religiously, with all service records kept. and I intend to do the same. That looks like a another beautiful f250 you used to have though. So why did you get rid off it?
