OK I Bought PIER'S TRUCK

[John Dishong]

Hello to all,
I am the lucky one that bought Piers truck. It was not at all like some of you are thinking. Piers has helped me build my truck over the years (which is no slug). I recently had a baby and found the standard cab to be too tight. I was talking with Piers about my truck and mentioned that I really want a 98 12v Quad Cab. He replied why don't you buy mine. This was about three months ago. A price was agreed on about 6 weeks ago and the rest is history.
Know the good news for all of us here on the East coast is that we finally get to see the beast. (I just own it) Therefore in order to honor Piers and BD I will try to make it available for others to see. So any of you in the NorthEast give me a ring or E-mail. (603)532-2240. I will proudly display the BD symbol for all time. In closing for once in my life I just happen to be in the right place at the right time. I am extremely eager to receive the truck. It should be here by the end of the month. I am therefore selling my 94 standard cab 4x4 auto. , so if anyone is interested I can send you the specs on it. I hope I can do the burnout justice!!!

Where do I start, I guess with a big THANKYOU to everyone expressing their concerns & offers to help. Not sure if youall were more concerned with me losing my truck or the fact that I would be driving a Ford #ad

I knew my time left with this truck was limited, it was the oldest truck in BD's fleet. Would I have liked to keep it, yep. But **** happens & you deal with what you can & try and not let the rest drive you crazy.
As far as the Ford thing goes, I like a challenge & this is going to be a big one #ad
Will I ever get a powerstroke to perform like a Cummins... I like to dream, but i'm well aware of reality. I don't feel that motor would live at 50+ lbs of boost, but it will be interesting to see how far one can push a powerstroke before it goes boom #ad

As for BD getting big bucks for the truck, consider this. 1998 12valve 4x4 quad cab short box. Full load including leather.
Mag Hytec diff & trans covers
Valet parking switch
2 low kit
tc unlock switch
Torq lock
4" BD brake
4" BD exhaust system
BD tc & transmission
370 injectors
Governor kit, afc kit
913 pump from a 98 5 spd truck modified #ad

Ported cyl. head with ported pulse manifold
Psychotty air system
HX40/18. 5 turbo
Pyro, boost, trans temp & back pressure gauges
Power Stop front rotors & pads [new]
Racor external transmission filter
Very low mileage {63K }
Near new 265 Michelins fronts a little newer than rears #ad

Canopy, Rhino lined box
North West Custom extras, Thanks Jason & Gail
Intercooler from a 2000 24 valve
Sold for less than 25K
Very well serviced
Only driven on Sundays by a little old lady from Passedena #ad

I'm on the hunt for a 2 wheel drive regular cab Dodge with no frills, if anybody knows of such a truck please contact me as I really want to build this one into a serious racer #ad

John... I am glad the truck went to someone that appreciates it!

Piers... you are still invited to any NW BOMBer event... fords are allowed!

 

[Evan A. Beck]

Piers! Too bad you were not looking for a 2WD Reg Cab back in April... That's when I traded it in on my 2001...

Have fun with that PSD... #ad

 

[John_P]

John:

Congratulations on the purchase of one
h*** of a truck!!!

Piers:

Thanks for e-mailing me back on what
happened with the truck. It will
certainly seem different to see you
sitting behind the wheel of a Ford.
But I know that a member like
"COBRAJET" and a few others will
be interested to see what you
have in store in the way of "mods"
for the PSD!

A couple of chock blocks and some bleach water, you'll have Memmolo telling everyone that BD can get their Ford to do the same with a few bolt-ons! #ad

[John Dishong]

The truck has about 60,000 miles. I don't know if circles count.

 

[Piers]

The 24valve intercooler flows better than the 12valve one. Oh I remember now, my original one was cracked so I "had" to replace it #ad

 

[jmbrowning]

Piers,
Count me among those eager to see what can be done with the Powerstroke. I hope to see you holding a High HP Trophy for the Ford, too. (Maybe not this spring, how about in the fall?)

Does this mean there will be some Ford burnout videos? #ad
