    New Emission Recall Turbo Issue

    For those that have had the latest Emission Recall done will know what I am talking about. When the engine is at idle the computer now activates the Variable Pitch Blades(?) in the turbo to keep them from sticking. Well everytime mine does it there is a loud squeal from under the hood like...

    Programmer or Chip?

    TWildman, I am figuring the mileage the old fashioned way. The console has me at better numbers than what I posted. Oh yeah, these numbers are after the emissions recall which netted me a little better than 1mpg so the Banks has improved on that for a little better than 3mpg with a total of 4mpg...

    Programmer or Chip?

    Thanks for all the info guys, I decided to go with the Banks Six Gun and the Airaid intake. I like everything except the process that is involved to teach the tranny everytime you select a different higher level. Is this always necessary? Anyway, I love the power and the extra fuel mileage is...

    Programmer or Chip?

    Ok, can someone suggest another company other than ATS? I have called 3 times to speak with Tadd and he is always busy.:cussing: I have even left my number for him to call me back with the explanation that I wanted to order the tuner with a custom tune.:cussing: I need someone that is easy to...

    Latest Recall

    I took the advice of a local friend and pulled and cleaned the EGR valve. This made a big difference as that the lag is still there but all the other symptoms are gone. The lag isn't anywhere near as bad as before and is tollerable. I did find another problem though and that was after it has...

    Programmer or Chip?

    Thanks, thats the same place I called. The guy I spoke with was real big on the Duramax. He was talking about how much better they were over the Powerstroke and how quickly the SCT would fry my tranny! Thanks Scott

    most power for 6.0

    X-Hibition, how does the Banks work with the tranny? Do you have any shifting issues or temp issues? I am also looking at the Banks setup over all the others because the others have negative issues for me. Thanks Scott

    Programmer or Chip?

    Ok, I spoke with Joel at ATS and he doesn't recommend the SCT tuner for me. He said that the tuner was bad for blowing head gaskets and killing the tranny at anything over 70hp. What gives? Did I call the wrong people? How is it that eveyone else is running these and no one is having any...

    Latest Recall

    After closer review oi8228oi I believe you are correct on the spool up time. I have determined that the exhaust valve isn't opening up all the way until boost reaches about 15psi. I'm not sure what is causing this but it isn't right. Is there anyway I can disconnect this valve to make sure this...

    Latest Recall

    Well, that is what gets confusing. The turbo spools quickly all the way to 20 psi before shifting into 2nd gear. This recall is supposed to change the way the turbo spools by getting its info from something different than before. I'm not sure where the info came from or where it is getting it...

    Programmer or Chip?

    Hi all, I am in the market for some extra power and I'm not sure which route to take. I have an '04 F350 CC 4x4 Dually 6.0 Auto. Everything is stock with the exception of an MBRP 4 inch exhaust from the turbo back without the muffler and cat convertor. I have already installed all the necessary...

    Latest Recall

    Hi all, I just had the latest recall done which was for reprogramming the computer (06E17 I believe). Anyway, this recall addressed all my problems and even fixed them with the exception of one, the serious turbo lag at take off. The truck runs better, better fuel mileage, better idle and...

    She whistles at me!

    Okay, just to clarify what the whistle sounds like. Light a bottle rocket and as soon as it takes off it imediately quits. The sound is a loud pop whistle and then it goes back to its normal whistleing sound. This isn't something it normally does just lately. I had a bad EBP sensor but it never...

    She whistles at me!

    I don't have a muffler either and no it whistles all the time. This was just a quick lound whistle like a bottle rocket only not as long. I have heard it do it a couple of times before but I didn't pay it to much attention. I actually repeated it 3 times this morning and it was always after it...

    She whistles at me!

    Ok, I started my truck this morning in 50 degree weather and about 15-20 seconds later she whistled at me. After it started and the turbo started hissing I heard a quick and loud whistle. I shut it down and restarted but it didn't happen again until it had set for about 5 minutes. What is this...

    Ball Joint Torque Specs

    Hi all, I am relacing the Ball Joints on my truck for the second time in a month, don't ask just make sure when it comes time to get the best ones you can find. Anyway I was going by the article in the FTE Forum and it said to torque the top joints to 70ft lbs and the bottoms to 150ft lbs, which...

    1967 F100

    That was the same lay out on this truck minus the huge mirrors. I have planned on sticking with a 390FE block but not sure of the color yet. Scott

    Cool car! I give though, what year is it? I have racked my brain and even done a search and I can't determine the year. Give us the details also as to what size motor etc. Scott

    I hope this is really going to happen!

    My question is that if you can produce the same stuff at home for less than a $1 a gallon then why is it higher than regular diesel at the places that are selling it. I can see why everybody is all for it, they can put more money in there pocket! Scott

    Hi all

    Well I guess I will take my turn. My name is Scott and I live in Seymour Tennessee. For those of you that are familiar with Knoxville TN and Dollywood then Seymour is between them. I was born here and never left and never will. I love the mountains and the country to much and yes I am a Redneck...
