    Best tuner for 2006 6.0L?

    I've run the Edge and a few others - currently I am a fan of Quadzilla. It puts out more than enough power for me - my tranny doesn't argue about it and I love the safety factors built into it. Ron

    hypertech power module

    I don't know of anyone who uses the Hypertech stuff. There are a lot of other tuners and boxes out there that are favorites in the diesel world. As for towing on the 100HP setting - I would say that depends on the load. And then sure maybe you could tow a max load - but your tranny may not...

    To the kids born in the 40's, 50's and 60's

    And we learned exactly where to kick the metal plate on the concrete street light pole to keep it off for another 15 mins so we could finish the game of baseball we were playing :D :D And - we played football in the street - played "smear the queer" - played real "dodge ball" - and, played...

    PROBLEM WITH EGR

    Don - just to clarify in case you don't know what it is - OASIS - in a nutshell, when a Ford dealer services your truck - they will enter the information into a computer system that any Ford dealer can pull up. So you could have work done on it at a Ford dealer in Maine - travel to Texas and...

    PROBLEM WITH EGR

    Recalls are not checked by having it scanned - all you need is your VIN number. Copy it down and visit any dealer - ask them nicely if they would run an OASIS for you. Tell them you are looking to see if all of the recalls have been done to the truck. Since the truck is out of warranty - I...

    Cat Delete Pipe Costing Me Big MPG Loss . . .

    Personally I like the fact that here on SDD - it's members can have a good debate/discussion along with some good natured ribbing - :D As for the CAT - all I really knew was they got super-hot to burn off the bad gases and would start the grass on fire when parked on the lawn :eek: I was...

    Help! 6.0 L down

    Man Oh man - if you had any warranty left - this could be the death blow to it taking it to the dealer with a messed up computer. Personally I would be on the phone all day, every minute of it to Bully Dog. And I mean calling every five minutes. I am not up to date on the programmers - but...

    Cat back exhaust system

    You may want to edit your subject line - your looking for a turbo back system and not a cat back system. Any of the sponsors for the site that sell them will have the information on the web - or a simple phone call to them and they would be glad to answer any questions. :sweet Ron

    Flashing OD Light

    You always wanted a BTS or Suncoast tranny didn't you? :D Everytime my 01 used to do that - it wasn't long before she was in the shop - three times to be exact. Different "technical" problem everytime - but the same end result. After I had the Suncoast installed - never saw that flashing...

    Cat Delete Pipe Costing Me Big MPG Loss . . .

    Well - someone correct me if i'm wrong here - but the downpipe is not 4" at the turbo and does not change to 4" until it gets to the cat - am I wrong? Personally I don't see paying for something - that you already have. And without doing a a turbo back you avoid any conflict with Ford over...

    04 6.0L problems

    Yes - it should be covered under warranty. In addition to the rear seal - could also be a leaking injector seal. The dealer can add dye to the oil - you can also buy dye at places like NAPA - drive it for a few days and then using a black light try trace it yourself - or the dealer can do it...

    Would you use

    Just for a POD for this discussion: Most people are under the assumption that we get most all of our crude from the Arab nations - and this is false. The US produces about 40% of the crude we need. Another combined 40% comes from sources such as Canada (20%), Mexico (15%), etc. The other 20%...

    Brakes covered ? 3/36k ??

    Well I would like to think that they do it for everyone - it was still under the 36K at the time. This is the first vehicle I have ever bought from them - so nothing there. Normally when I take her in I always have some type of supporting data let's say - list of codes, service bulletins, etc...

    Exhaust and airbox question ?

    Hey - Welcome to SDD :sweet Airbox - at the time I would not waste the money - what you have in the stock box is an excellent system - And since you already have a chip - spend that money on at least an EGT gauge. Exhaust - if you don't want to much cab noise - go with a 4" cat back...
