RawPower 10-18-2005, 06:04 PM you dont know if its a V10... in 99 the Powerchokes had a V8 emblem up front like that that said "powerstroke" below it... but they changed that for '00...
But with flex like that, i would guess its a gasser b/c diesel's front springs are a lot stiffer...
ill stop rambling now,

My kit is for a oil burner.
zachis4wheeling 10-19-2005, 08:14 AM That thing flexes really well for having the stiffer diesel springs with the lighter 5.4......
Hows it work off road? Broke anything yet?
I really like the rear bumper/winch mount also
