What can I do to give my 5.0 F-150 a lot more torque? I'm going to be using it for pulling a lot of stumps this summer as well as some heavy hauling and I don't want a real tractor. Already looking at converting rear end to a dually, what else can I do?
Get some good tires desu
Get an F250

no shit. if im looking at converting to a dually why would you assume i wouldnt go to 355 or 410?
>>14818935
If you're going to go to all that effort why not just buy a bigger truck or a tractor?

Cause I've had it for over 10 years and I'm really fond of it. And I don't want a tractor because I don't really have a use for a tractor beyond pulling these ~20 stumps.

Just hire a skidsteer and a stump hook for a couple of days.

this desu. right tool for right job.
If it's an older, BW t18 Trans and a 4.9l will give you more fucking torque then a dump truck.

I could do that but I also want to beef up my truck and really get some good hauling power. It simply isn't powerful enough to do everything I want but I really want to keep it as opposed to replacing it.

Interesting, I've never been involved with an engine swap on a v8 but I do have friends to help.

buy a vw tourag or something that isn't actually shit for towing?
>>14822220
Not selling the truck fuck off mate.
Also my grandpa lost his arm in ww2 I'm not buying a German military vehicle.

>buy a vw tourag so that it breaks immediately
fixed that for you bud

I Don't think it would be worth it to swap your's unless you were serious. But if you have more money and are willing to, I'd just go with a 7.3td. Pretty much the same work but it'll cost you.
But with your current situation, lowering the gear ratio is easier. Preferably at the transfer case or you will lose highway mpgs.

Drop a 460 in that sumbitch. Get some afr heads and a stroker kit. Easy 700 lb-ft of torque N/A on pump gas
