I know I'm supposed to say 'congratulations' but all I can truthfully muster is "sorry for your loss".

Any pictures of the damaged Marauder?

Yeah I like the new rides but I can't say they are anything like the Marauder.

And no, no pics of the damaged Marauder. I didn't want to remember it that way.

Congrats on the new ride. As for the SHO, are the cams welded? Have you joined SHOForum.com?

Thanks!
Anthony

No worries sir, the cams are welded and yes I have joined the SHOFORUM.com. The SHOs can be very confusing and I need that community. I'm glad you like the new rides.

114k, so she has plenty of life left in her :banana2:

Hoping to get some mods done, got my gauges ordered and my friend is going to build the tranny for me. After that I'm not usre what I'll do with her yet. Maybe a Cummins swap haha

The cummins motors are great motors but please keep them in a dodge. When done right a 7.3 can put some serious power down. Make sure if ur making passes at the track to keep an eye on ur tranny mounts. I had to tow my truck home after that incident. I had stacks, upgraded turbo and a custom tune. You're going to love ur truck, just make sure to not look at the meter when ur filling it up. Might make you a little sick

[MMarauder03]

Oh, a sidenote. Make sure the glowplugs are good as they can cause a lot of issues with starting if they're on their last legs. Enjoy your purchase and sorry to hear about your marauder!

The Cummins idea was more of a joke than anything. All of my friends are Ford guys who all bought Cummins. The one kid that has an amazing Cummins just graduated from Wyotech so we have been getting his all ready for pulls and the strip. I am not sure what I want to do with the Powerstroke just yet performance wise. Hopefully soon I'lll get it to where I want it (stock just isn't doing it for me lol), but for now its nice to look at and sounds damn good witht he straight pipe IMO

As for fuel, luckily I don't pay for it because I work on a farm and the owner lets me fill it up there haha

Never been a fan of their products but some of the things they offer don't look to bad actually.

the 7.3 is a great motor. i know they are completly different but i was a turbo idi for my hiboy, its that or a cummins.

[LOWBUCKMM]

EDGE PERFORMANCE CHIPS FTW!! nice 7.3 i have been looking for a good one to buy. but they are still 20K + for what i want.

Right now my buddy is putting a Cummins in Hiboy and his sits on 42s. It is going to be one sick truck

An EDGE will NEVER go in this truck, and I suggest no one ever get one. They kill your PCM and trans, but good luck finding what you want!

Spend the extra cash and get a custom db or tony wildman.

If you have any questions on that 2002 diesel, let me know. I have an F-350 and have been through a lot of the truck. Picked it up last year with 163,000 and now have 184,000. Great truck, and gets 22 MPG weighing in at 7,400 pounds.

Lucky, you get red fuel......

careful running red fuel though. It'll get you a big ticket if they dip your tank. I always ran with one tank green, one tank red. Colorado state patrol was pretty strict about it though. Not sure about ur area

[fastmerc03]

I live in the middle of no where; we don't even have emissions tests out here. I should be good to go. I mean the cop tried to give me a tint ticket already but they don't have tint meters out here so he technically couldn't haha

[ImpalaSlayer]

pics of the hiboy? do want

[fastmerc03]

pics of the hiboy? do want

I'll get some for you guys when I get over to my friends house again to help him out with it. I hope I don't forget bc it is a sweet truck.

Actually hold on let me see if he has somepics of it on FB

EDIT: Here is the one decent one I could find of it on facebook, I think that is when he still had the 38s on it mayb and before we started pulling the 350 out of it

PM sent, the other thing I forgot to mention in it was that we had to move the "death trap" of a fuel tank to the bed.

Sucks to hear about the Marauder but it looks like you have some fun replacements :) The SHO's are all that fast but you can get a ton of parts for pretty cheap these days and make it a lot of fun! I have owned 7 SHO's and every Gen so if you have any questions just let me know:beer:
