    MBRP Cool Duals question

    Thanks Bush That pretty much summed up my questions! I just ordered the gauges from ITP. I ordered the DIY kit, it even comes with the proper can of paint to match my interior. I was pretty impressed with them so far. Thanks again for the info.

    I know some of you guys have installed this system. Did you have to loose the spare tire? I tried to find some old threads but I got tired. Thanks.

    Pillar Gauges

    Thanks Bush, Maybe I asked too soon, I haven't received the gauges yet. Maybe it will explain what wire to tap into for the gauge lights.

    Pillar Gauges

    Can anyone point me to a link that will provide information on hooking up pillar gauges (trans, boost, egt). I know this has been discussed quite a bit but I'm having trouble finding the right article. Thanks

    Programming the 6.0

    I think it depends on the particular dealership. I bought my 04 - 9 months ago and took it to 2 different dealers for poor mileage. One dealership said put some additive in the fuel. The other dealer said 11 mpg is normal, and then suggested i buy a programmer and a K&N air filter, he had seen...

    EGR? My truck was doing this a few months ago. One time I was sitting at a light, my foot was barely on the brake. Out of no where, the RPMs spiked up for a second or two and then it almost stalled. Meanwhile I almost ran into the car in front of me. I was a little upset so I left the line with...

    egr valve is anybody having problems

    I unplugged my EGR valve (I think) (passenger valve cover?) and my problem dissappeared! But the mileage might be a little lower. But since it took care of the sluggishness... my foot has been in it more!

    egr valve is anybody having problems

    $280.00????? Wow!! I had a surging idle the other day (after the truck sat overnight) then some missing... then some smoke.... after that it ran like a rocket ship! Sounds like it might be this EGR thing. Is this a warranty item? if so maybe i can ask for the original part back, and unplug the...
