    EBPV Engine brake

    I have the EPBV brake program setup on my DP tuner. Really works well when towing the 5er. Only issue is the 2 to 3 second delay when reprogramming, seem to bleed off quite a bit of acquired speed for the next climb. DRAT!!! Can't have it all. With my Auto, on narrow mountain roads need to...

    John Wood Transmissions??

    I put a JW trans in my truck in Feb. at his shop in Ca. I was able to watch him rebuild my trans, as he was talking me through why he was doing this and that. He also took the time to talk to me about my truck, as I am a newbie diesel truck owner. Towing my 5'er is a joy now, no slipping...

    Turbo Surge???

    Thanks Big Joe we went through all the boots, and a leak check when I had it all looked at everything looks good. I am not sure how to check the wastegate issue, the mechanic thought maybe I needed to reflash the PCM at Ford, which scares the HE@@ out of me.

    Turbo Surge???

    Yeah Big Joe but pulled these same passes before the mods without Surge. Vail pass is 10k+ but also had surge at less than 5K. Thought I was blowing a turbo so had it all checked out, since I'm 1000 miles from home. no codes, not damage in turbo, no play in shaft,except normal. So Surge or...

    Turbo Surge???

    JL I think your right, if you keep the RPMs up you don't get surge. but got myself into some conditions where keepng the RPM above 2k wasn't working, didn't want to go to lower gear pulling 5% grade with 2" of slush and ice, already had traction problems, and 50 MPH cross winds, tend to get...

    Turbo Surge???

    Thanks for the replies kinda what I thought. But why use the wicked wheel when but their own specs say only stops 80% of surge, and all comments that I have seen say they are really, really noisy, with less boost. I thtink I will go with the ATS ported housing, no increase in noise, and all...

    Turbo Surge???

    After upgrading my f350 using all of your advice, finally got to hookup and tow my 5er. Assaulted Vail pass and the Eisenhower tunnel hill in Colorado. Big difference, pulled the hills really well, although 2 inches of slush and snow on vail, caused problems keeping RPMs up.:eek: But have an...

    Thanks guys for the "new" truck

    And if yours are stock they probably leak robbing you of some turbo boost. The IH replacements have better seals. They are a major PITA to replace. I am sure that your turbo car has some kind of "up" pipe or the turbo wouldn't work.

    Growing up in Colorado we referred to that stuf from Golden as 'water'. Was grounds for getting thrown out of the state for thinking BUD. I do owe at least a 6er or more Thanks again

    Thanks guys for the "new" truck

    yeah nevrknow, didn't mind slow and pokey until trying to pull 8 mile 7% grade with 5th wheel on. Slow is not the right word. Stoker-- been there done that with a gasser, spent more time under the hood than behind the wheel. What I was going for was something that could tow my 5er faster than...

    Thanks guys for the "new" truck

    Started out in Nov. asking questions about the truck in sig. Using your advice as of 3 weeks ago, have gauges installed (ISSPRO), cold air intake (S&B), 4" turbo-back exhaust (Magnaflow), JW towmaster trans, DP tuner (F5), 6.0 trans cooler, and new up pipes. INMO John Woods is the best willing...

    OEM radio removal????

    thanks I got the radio out... used words that shouldn't be repeated...bit my tongue (thanks rooster) but it came out. Turns out one of the clips was broken, so DIN tool was only moving half the clip on the drivers side. Need to fix the clip, but I like new tasks.

    OEM radio removal????

    Question towing w/OD on

    I don't have tow/haul mode on this truck. Sounds like if the trans temps are good, and the RPMs up, EGT down towing in OD not a problem. I haven't seen any temps above 200* and that was in stop and go traffic and hills. most of my towing trans temp in the 180 to 190 range. But changed trans...

    Question towing w/OD on

    But I read someplace that you shouldn't tow in OD, which seemed wrong to me.
