"Best truck made, buy one yourself"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

U Joints had to be changed at 213,000.

Brakes changed at 196,000.

Front hubs were changed with Warn manual Lockers.

General comments?

Great truck.

4WD is great.

6 inch lift with 31 inch Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radials.

Very good in the mud.

Lower Gearing is great (Dana 65 rear diff)

Warn hubs are better then the stock ford ones.

K&N Cold air intake and performance exhaust increases power significantly.

Is this a 5 speed or an automatic? If the latter, how is the trans holding up with the big tires? I would expect, poorly.

The tranny is holding up fine Just a little side not the rear end is not a d65, it's an 8.8 locked, with 4.11 gears, The M5OD-R1 tranny rules (standard)
