The tranny hump was so hot you couldn't keep your hand on it! Yikes!

" Ooooohh, said the Mechanic..... thats "normal" for these trucks"!

the problem with the psd is if you put a programmer on it almost all the time you will get an over boost error code or some injector pressure code. unless you have money to burn the most you can do to a ford is put on a programmer, exhaust and intake. after that dig into your wallet and pull out $1500 for injectors and $3200 for a ball bearing turbo.
