“Rooarrrr”my pickup sounds like a freight train. MY pickup is a Manuel 2000 ford f250 7.3-power stroke. It is white with a black Hillsboro flatbed. (The first things I’ve ever done to it was put blue lights under the dash and a ford stirring wheel cover the lights took me five minutes but the steering wheel cover took two people to get it on). The second
            Another thing I put on it is (Wilson mud flaps) I got at my grandpas truck lot in a trashcan. Another thing is my police scanner it tells you when there’s an ambiance, fire truck, or cop.
            Another thing I put on is a (ranch hand cattle guard). That was probably the hardest to do because I had to do it by myself. I had to raise it up with a cherry picker and hold it still while tightening the bolts. Took me about a half hour
            The last thing put on is a tip. It is a (four-inch inlet to a 6-inch outlet). This took my 2 min. all I did was bolt it on to the stock exoughst I already had. Now it will break your eardrum with the window down. I just ordered a 7.3 six position chip  for a 94 to 03 Manuel or automatic. The settings are stock, high idle, first 50 hp, next 75hp, then 100hp, and finally 140 roaring ponies under the hood now. I also ordered some glow shift gages to watch my boost transmission temp and exoughst temp
            This (pickup means the world to me) because all the long nights working on it and putting all of these things in. so a lot of blood sweat and tears have went into it but I’m still not finished with it. The very first time I saw it I said “well it’s a diesel so I like it”.
