    Trying to get more power for Towing ??

    What about this thing they call, "Edge EZ Module" ? They claim to give 60-65 more HP with a 5 minute install. Anyone have any experience with this or simular products ?

    Thanks guys. I will give it a try when it warms up. Right now its 10-20 below with a wind chill of 30-40 below. I dont feel like doing this even in a heated garage when its this cold. PLUS we just got dumped on with 10 inches of snow. Thanks again

    *Draining the Tranny Fluid ?*

    No, I want to get rid of the old tranny oil and replace it with Amsoil. The guy told me there is a plate behind the tranny (on the bottom) that you can take off. He said you have someone tap the key so you can see the tourque converter and there might be a plug on the converter that you can take...

    Learning more about the 7.3

Something that would explain it in terms a backyard mechanic would understand and not a diesel doctor. I hear you guys talking...
