My F-350

I have a 2004 Ford F-350 King Ranch with the 6.0L diesel. I love this truck. I have 100,000 miles on it, it still has tons of power and I have only had to replace the oil pressure sensor and alternator.

It hauls my horse trailer and the flatbed like a dream, but someday I want to put 4.30 gears in it so the turbo has better response on these Colorado hills. I’ve added a pyrometer and boost guage so I can keep EGTs in line when I’m hauling.

I’ve added a wireless camera to the back of the horse trailer, with the monitor mounted to the dash so I can keep tabs on the horses while I’m on the road. Also added train horns and replaced a bunch of the truck’s lights with LEDs so people stay out of the way.

I put Goodyear Wrangler MT/R kevlar tires on it, stock size. I preferred the less agressive tread of the DuraTrac, but those tires have ridiculously thin sidewalls. I drove on those for about a week and hated it. The truck swayed all over the road like all the tires were flat (and it’s a dually!). So I replaced them with the MT/Rs. They are a bit louder but they look awesome and get me through the crappy clay-mud we have here.
