Stop that crap!  I'm not modding this thing to go fast. I'm just getting longevity things like gauges, bumper, fog lights and steering stabilizer  |

Let me know if you decide to do the exhaust. There's a company here in town that does the mandrel bending for quite a few of the "kits" you see advertised. |

I found them by accident making cold calls a couple of years ago. |

The DP Tuner is a great mod. The shifts are much more crisp, you get a little more mpg's. High idle settings for quicker warm up. Oh yeah, and 140 more HP with the big tune.  |

As far as the tuner, That doesn't seem that bad really. I was thinking about one, although I hear so much bad about them too. |

Dang I love Diesels. Powerstrokes are IMHO the best diesels out there. I don't like the Rams at all, the Cummins is a good motor but its not built by Dodge, so I don't even consider the diesel Rams a Dodge product. |

Power Strokes weren't built by Ford either, until just a few years ago. So does that mean you don't consider the F series diesels a Ford product? | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread |  Linear Mode | |
