There are SO MANY other things that can be an issue on newer trucks aside from the DPF. Hence the name of the episode.

Tyler has been using his truck just as it was meant to be used for nearly two months. Towing his trailer in stock form has been great, however, he is now adding a side-by-side to the mix. Time for some weight mitigation!

Part two of the overview on the Dana 60 swap on Ben's 1997 Powerstroke. This episode covers getting the TTB off the truck, and getting the Dana 60 in. We go over some of the road blocks I ran into, also an update on our yard equipment, because that came up last episode.

FINALLY! It's time for this "F-350" to actually have proper running gear in the form of a ball joint Dana 60. This particiular axle came form a dually truck which means several items will need to be swapped from the TTB over to the Dana 60. This entire swap was performed in Ben's garage, with mostly basic tools. Follow along and learn where the road blocks were to hopefully allow your swap to go even faster!

We had a listener send in a good question regarding transmission options that would result in more gears for his 1994-1997 7.3 Powerstroke. We discuss what options are out there and which one would be our choice and why. Options discussed include 4R100, ZF5, ZF6, 5R110, 6R140, Allison 1000, Gear Vendors.

Delton stopped by and sat down with Ben and Tyler to talk about dual disc clutches, recommendations for the OBS, and some fun stories regarding part failures.
