1996 Ford Power Stroke with Stinger-Plus
2010-06-09
Well, I just got done with the install on the 96 7.3L and let me tell you....I freakin love it!! The trans has never shifted as good as it does now. The Big Hoss gives the right amount of power. The Quick turbo is killer and the gauges look great. I wanted to thank you for all the help and time you and the men and women of banks put in for me. Everything went in very easy, the only problems that I had was the turbo, it took me about six hours to get it out of the truck and only about two to put the new on and back in. I'll send some pics as soon as I can get the weather here to clear out. My daughter is very happy with the truck too! The only thing that she has a problem with is you all didn't send any Banks stickers. She was like how can I show off my truck redone with a Banks system and not have any stickers on the truck....women, the little stuff that makes them happy! Thank you again for the great products and all the hard work!
