    Tuning?

    Yep, that helps. I was curious how "canned" tunes on the programmers can reach a good amount of power without leaving too much left on the table for more.

    Tuning?

    I'm a little used to gas motor dyno tuning with mods; but my question is.. with all the programmers or custom burned chips, turbo upgrades, fuel system mods, etc. etc... Wouldn't dyno tuning be the safest way to tune for mods? I know there's diesel tuners. Seems like after you install the...

    PH testing;

    Thanks for the information, I've spoken to a few diesel owners and they looked at me like I was talking crazy when I asked about testing pH levels in their coolant; and most of these guys are fairly mechanically inclined. I guess I'll be buying myself some testing strips in the near future then.

    PH testing;

    Is testing the coolant just primarily strictly used for diesels? Seems like a newbie question, but I've never really even heard of it until I started to read about diesels. Since this diesel will be my first diesel, I was more curious on problems strictly from a diesel, I know what to look for...

    PH testing;

    Before I put on my flame suit, Ive ran some searches and haven't found anything conclusive, then again I haven't searched real hard. I posted a while back I'll be in the market for a used 2000-03 (7.3) SRW 4x4 Powerstroke, which I will be getting at the end of this summer, I've seen...

    I would like some advice/opinions

    It seems like already mentioned, up here in Maryland Diesels go for top dollar even if they're running over 100,000 miles, bare in mind I'm not steering away from high mileage diesels, but I'd prefer it was lower mileage to the year truck. A Truck Dealership near me has a ton of Powerstrokes...

    I would like some advice/opinions

    My S10 has a 3.42 ratio, same trans. Fuel economy won't be that big of a deal unless I get 10MPG and under, I still wanna stick with the 4R100. I've been eyeing up a lot of 2000-2003 Powerstrokes recently, just to see what's on dealers used lots.

    Electric fan conversion

    Are there any Electric fans made by any vendors that can be used for primary cooling, besides those Flexalites?

    I would like some advice/opinions

    Well, asside what I had mentioned in my first post. Standard cab with a longbed, or a supercab with a short bed. Super crew is too much for what I'll need. 4 wheel drive is a must. Automatic trans. No DRW's. I'm pretty much bent on a 99-03, I'll consider OBS too I'm not planning on lifting it...

    I would like some advice/opinions

    I live in Maryland, and I'm a Machinist if that helps you guys out. I plan to have the Powerstroke for a while is one thing, so I'd prefer to get a properly maintained used truck so I can continue it, versus buying a truck that was let go and have to spend a lot of money to get it right. I...

    I would like some advice/opinions

    Thanks for advice guys! I appreciate it a lot. I personally just want a bigger truck as a DD. Wanted to try and take a plunge into a diesel fullsize truck, just to try something new. EDIT: Sorry for not searching, but I was kinda looking for more direct answers and advice pointing towards my...

    I would like some advice/opinions

    Hey guys, new to the forum obviously, this isn't my first post as I did atleast introduce myself.. anyhow, I would like some opinions. I post over at SVT Performance a lot and I pretty much posted this over there, and they've helped me out a lot but I'd like some more opinions from Powerstroke...

    Newbie introducing himself here. I currently don't own a Powerstroke, but I am in the market for a used one.
