    there is no aluminum exhuausts they are alumnized just a different galvanization. word to the wise just about every new car or truck comes with stainless exhaust, why take of a better material to put on bigger cheaper material go stainless or leave the factory. I would go with the mbrp I have put on the ford ones they fit right and come with much better hangers. the hanger are where the the cheaper kits skimp, I know this because I bought a bully dog kit a long lime ago and ended up cutting up all the factory hangers and reusing them and completely rerouting the system to keep the factory heat shields. u get what u pay for

    I think the 88 had the 7.3 engine.

    Yeah its a NA motor. 88 did not have the serp belt witch kinda sucks. The alt belt likes to jump off at times. Some peeps put a extra idle pully to solve this problem.

    The major problems

    return lines leak air into the system so you have to change out the o rings. Not a big deal I have done it once on my truck. Parts are like 40 bucks.

    Cavation on these engines is a killer. So you should watch your ph on your coolent.

    Dual mass flywheels suck only on standards. Most people replace with a single mass flywheel from luk. Its about 600-700 bucks to convert.

    Most guys get 200 to 300 k outta them.

    Checkout thedieselstop.com there is a section for 7.3na and the 6.9

    The 6.9 is the same with thicker walls so cavation is not as bad on these. But they have small head bolts that like to let loose when guys turbo them.

    The banks website has the stock numbers for hp and stuff like that.

    I wanna say its 180 hp at like 325 ft lbs.

    Mine only has 107k on it. You should buy it.

    never mind the truck sold. it was a running and driving f-350 crew cab 4 X 4 for $1000
    miles unknown. plan was to pull the engine/tranny and stick it in IH dually that we bought a while back and sell the axle and whatever else. I would like to put something like that in the IH and make daily driver. or just stick in replacement motor which would be a lot easier.... I'm too cheap though. I found one in Arkansas IH 345...road trip anyone?

    What, you don't want that already built one that I posted for cheap? Ryan can back me on the fact that it's well built and you have nothing to worry about.

    Why not stick a 5.3 in it?

    B/C I'm not spending $750 dollars on an IH engine. I only paid $700 for the whole truck. I may have found part of the problem. I think the PO did not know the firing order of an IH engine and it was adavanced like a whole cylinder. N-I-C-E !

    my Dad noticed this the other day. He didn't check the rest of the firing order. who knows. So, may just need a head job or ?? it does run. just not real well and smokes after a while.

    so this is kinda like a diesel w/ the smoke...just to say I wasn't hijacking!

    is the firing order the same as a chevy?

    Danny had the same timing problem. He and Tommy had been trying to time it off the wrong cylinder all summer but once they set it correctly the mofo fired right up.

    yes, it's the same as a chevy...it is just timed off of number 8 instead of number 1. "Time off of No 8 CYL" is stamped into both valve covers. So instead of 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 it is 8-4-3-6-5-7-2-1

    Oh, and I'd buy that motor, but it's more fun to see how long the current one is going to last.
