Oh and best of luck. I know you can make the truck right, just have ask yourself if your willing to invest in it or try another truck. If your truck has an automatic trans we need to talk further as well. :)
Yes, my transmission is automatic. What's up with that?
They are weak in those years, even at stock power levels. Keep the bands adjusted correctly, get some gauges to monitor your trans temp (as well as fuel pressure, egt's, and boost) get it serviced and look at putting a lock up switch for the TC, it will all help keep it alive!
You might consider adding in a FASS to keep your lift pump alive, another weak spot of the 24 valve Cummins of that era.
I'm not trying to scare you..these are just known issues of that era. Duramaxs ate injectors and had harness issues, Ford was discontinuing the famous 7.3 power stroke to adopt the 6.0 power stroke that almost bankrupted them.....like I said...all had issues, just gotta know what your dealing with.
