ye ole CPS
If you are going to be changing your CPS, you might also consider this International part. It worked better in my 2001 than the stock Ford CPS. http://www.dieselpowerproducts.com/ford- Car_nut57

Time to clean IC boots
You may want to consider replacing the stock hoses with Hump hoses ot a tube kit with Hump Hoses. If you use the complete tube kit, you can use Hump Hoses to connect to the intercooler as well.The Hump hoses are much thicker and have more reinforcement than the stock hoses and the hump will...- Car_nut57

Guages?
The install will be about the same for any gauges you choose. We like the Di-Pricol gauges as they are very good quality with excellent lighting. We drill and tap the exhaust manifold on the drivers side from the bottom and use a small magent to retrieve any chips that may have stayed in the...- Car_nut57

newbie exhaust question
4" is just fine and the amount of low end you might loose using the 4" DP is not enough that you would ever miss it. The benefit of the 4" pipe out weighs any loose in low end.- Car_nut57

WHAT ABOUT A BANKS KIT?
That is a great kit for your truck and the big Banks CAC makes a big difference in EGTs and power when towing. We have installed many of those systems and they work very well. Some will say Banks is expensive, but I think you get what you pay for with these kits because Banks has parts...- Car_nut57

Speaking of Clutches!
Another option for a clutch that will take the power is the LUK ceramic. Very tough and can transmit a lot of power, but they do tend to be a bit grippy and of course a bit expensive as well.- Car_nut57

Turbo on EBAY?
If your turbo is bad and you need a replacement, we have them with the compressor wheel already installed at a very good price. That one would be very difficult to install and control on your truck.- Car_nut57

I need more air.
If your truck has the insulation piece in the oval opening in the fender where the sleeve goes, you will want to remove that before installing the sleeve. Most trucks do not have this and you do not need to alter the plastic inner fender at all. The air the sleeve lets in com es in from the...- Car_nut57

Cold Fronts? with AIS?
If you install a foam fender sleeve so your AIS can also take air from the inner fender the cold blanket shouldn't cause any significant air restriction to the AIS. http://www.dieselpowerproducts.com/ford_ais- Car_nut57

Stand clear while venting. !*#*&$#! Truck!
I picked up a bad load of fuel a few years ago and had all kinds of trouble with the fuel pressure regulator. Finally I installed a pre-pump filter and water separator. The stock system does not filter the fuel returning to the tank from the FPR so any debris in the fuel has to pass through it...- Car_nut57

Better performing CPS for 7.3L Powerstroke
The IHC guy I have been talking to never said exactly the applications for this sensor specifically. Several months ago I had called him because I had an International part number that I had been told would advance timing and he told me that I had the wrong part number and should use this one...- Car_nut57
