Im posting in this forum, as well. :)

The truck isnt new... im new to the truck. haha.

97 f350 stroke. 250,000 automatic, 4x4. recently purchased. (my new daily driver. i dont dog the snot out of it, either. im a smart driver...) as far as im aware, everything major in the motor, transmission, etc are stock...

ive been told that its running too lean. that its overheating slightly. i know i need a pyro and boost gauges to monitor, but i am unsure of how to approach this issue. there is a cold air intake which, im sure is filthy, so ill check that out on my own... can anyone suggest where i should start? my exhaust is 3-1/2" back to in front of the tire. no cat or muffler, i believe. (again, will have to confirm... but there is some back pressure now. :p )

any advice as to what actions i should take to get this truck runnin like a top would be greatly appreciated!! :SM030:

Thanks!!

I have the 3" DP on both my PSD's-'95+'96and installed one on a friends '97. The only one we dimpled the FW on was the '95. The '96 + '97 fit like a glove! I just had the rad. cleaned on the '95 and it does not get as hot. Set up a 6637 unless you have something comparable.
