Scott’s 2003 7.3L Powerstroke
Saturday, August 23rd, 2008
Today’s truck gets the “most stuff” award. Definitely one of the most unique trucks that we have featured on Truck Profile. We have a 2003 7.3L Ford SuperDuty Powerstroke that makes a stock truck look like a P50 Microvehicle (can of tuna…maybe smaller). Scott purchased this truck brand new in 2003 from Uftring Motor Mall in East Peoria IL.
“I bought the truck in 03 because diesel fuel was cheaper at the time. Then i added a lift kit and wheels and started to show it at car shows and would win first place, then i was hooked. As all of you can see i did not stop adding to the truck and still today with over $60,000 in it, Im not done.
Everyone asks, “have you ever taken it off road mudden?”. Yes, i have! The first year i got it, went out ditch bang en’ and snow drift en’ with mud and snow jam packed under the entire body, frame and motor compartment. It took 2 weeks of cleaning and detailing. This truck now does not even see rain or dirt. It is for show only and i drive it too about 30 car -truck shows a year.”
As for performance… “It has a heavy duty waste gate & wicked wheel from dieselsite.com. K&N filter, 4″ polished stainless cool dual exhaust MBRP, Hypertech programmer, and a few little goodies to help me get 70 psi of fuel pressure and 30lbs of boost. The egt’s stay right around 600.”
On the outside we have… “Roll Bars, Bull Bar, PIAA Lights, all Chrome Bumper, Ram Air Hood, Lift Kit and Nitto Mud Grapplers.”
Scott does ALL of the work and would not even let the dealership touch his truck for the cam sensor recall. The custom flames under the wheel wells took Scott 200 hours, were made from .250″ flat stock, cut, filed and buffed to perfection.
This Ford Diesel has about 50 1st place trophies include, Best of Show, Best Interior, Best FORD and Mayors choice.
Scott would like to thank APM Ram air hood, MBRP exhaust, Westin bull bar, Road Max auto polished grill, Boze tow hooks, Recon accessories, Vertical doors, Weld racing, K&N filter, discount tire direct, GoRhino, 101 corvette, e-gauges, Weld racing, Fabtech for their contributions to his truck.
