Hello,

Just acquired a 04' 5.4L F250 SuperDuty XLT in North AL. First Ford! So I hope it treats me well and I'll be treating it well. Glad to join the forums.

Thanks....it would be Huntsville, AL.

 

Welcome. Nice to have you here!

Hope your truck proves to be a good one.
I hope it and FTE both treat you well.

 

welcome aboard, over in decatur here.

 

Huntsville/Madison here.

 

thanks. Nice to meet you guys. Already buying stuff for the truck and nothings wrong with it lol. New Billet Grille, Nerf bars, window visors, grille emblem. I really like to lift the truck, but don't know much about it. Anyway Nice to meet you guys.

 

I'm not a fan of the billet grills, but that's up to you.

 

I noticed the 99-04 factory Superduty grilles are WIDE open and my radiator was catching a lot of debris and bugs on the hwy. The bugs were putting dents into the radiator. I don't think I drive that fast .

I really like the 05-08 factory grilles, but they seem to be way over priced. Initially I didn't like the thought of billet because the word "billet" reminds me of the old school caddy grilles with the design going down vertically, but this one different with the design going horizontally and the spokes are a bit thicker than traditional billet. I try to get some pics when it's all done.

Know any good custom truck shops around here?

 

Nope, don't know any. Actually I just sold my ford for a Dodge.
don't hate

 

Oh noes! LOL. The new ones look pretty nice though. My bro. has an 03' 1500, but towing a tractor with it I thought it to be a little weak w/ the 4.7L. I'm hoping this 5.4 will get me up that mountain a little better without the fear of my tractor pulling off the mountain.

 

Yeah I bought the Dakota with the 4.7l, doing some mods hoping to get over 315ftlbs and that should help with towing. The most I will tow is a 500 or so pound lawnmower and a 400 or so pound trailer.
