    Would you use

    Here in Arkansas the farmers are starting to use BioDiesel. They grow the soybeans themselves ya know. Quality and consistancy has been an issue, so I"m not sure how that's going. Plus running straight bio fuel requires two different tanks (since you need to swap to pure bean oil once...

    HP gains, but quiet muffler???

    7.3. Some companies (like Magnaflow) say that perhaps the 3.5" downpipe from the turbo will give you a bit more bottom end on lightly modified engines. That you guy's experience? I figure the 4" is best all around.

    Why do diesels 'clack'?

    well, if they can make a truck that gets 25 mpg whilst pulling 10k lbs I'd be all for it.

    HP gains, but quiet muffler???

    Well, that makes me feel better. I don't want the cab to experience any more noise than necessary. I have an '03 crew cab single wheel. I guessing that the 4" downpipe and full system will give me what I'm looking for as I'm only going to do some mild tunes to the engine. I'm pulling...

    HP gains, but quiet muffler???

    So I've been poking around a bit. Seems many guys are going straight pipes and whatnot on their diesels. Looks like just an aftermarket exhaust gives ya a good amount of HP/torque gain. I have a Durango with the 6.9L engine in it with a very short glass pack on it. While it's noisy as...

    Why do diesels 'clack'?

    So I've poked about and couldn't find anything on the web this AM. After trecking up a long hill and listening to the engine under load, my inital reaction was to freak out because over the year riding 2 stroke dirtbikes that clacking noise means your top end is about to go. But just as...

    Practical experience with Edge Juice/Attitude

    I talked to a local diesel tuner. He suggested an MRBP exhaust and a map made with the Edge Evolution. He said a reasonable map of like 60 HP would do fine and I wouldn't have to tweak anymore and keep the truck reliable. Further he said the evolution could firm up the shifts by increasing...

    Practical experience with Edge Juice/Attitude

    Thanks, Ron. That sounds a bit more like what I'd like to do. I'll look into that for sure. My idea here is to be able to do a mod then (as much as possible) forget about it.

    Practical experience with Edge Juice/Attitude

    The Attitude is supposed to have guages built in I thought (including EGT). I was wondering if anyone thinks I should not rely on that and install analog guages or if anyone has had trouble with their unit.

    Practical experience with Edge Juice/Attitude

    Hi guys. Been lurking for a while. Just picked up my '03 7.3 with no mods. After driving for a while it doesn't seem to have the punch I remember the brand new 6.0 having. I'm looking to do some MINOR mods to it, as my goal with this truck is to have it as a daily driver and RELIABLY...

    New To Fords and Diesels - Need Tips!

    So what are the thoughts about the Juice box by the Edge? It has guages built in. Would that not be a good place to start if you kept the mapping reasonable??? I'm just looking to so minor mods for abit more juice - I don't want to get complicated at all.

    7.3 Weak points? What Tranhy mods for towing are MANDATORY?

    So looks like a tranny temp guage is a must. I guess if the tranny overheats you just pull over and let the truck idle for a while??

    7.3 Weak points? What Tranhy mods for towing are MANDATORY?

    Thanks, guys. I also have an RV with the V10 ('99 chassis) and I don't recall which tranny it has, but it will slip in OD if the fluid is old. So I keep fresh fluid in there. I appreciate the help. Looks like first thing I'll do is change the fluid and keep it fresh. I didn't think...

    7.3 Weak points? What Tranhy mods for towing are MANDATORY?

    I'm examining purchasing an '03 250 7.3L with 36k miles on it. I"m going to be towing roughly 8k lbs and MAYBE 10k at the max. I understand the 6.0L engine is stronger than the 7.3L. I'm gathering that the tranny on the 7.3L is the weak link here. With my use of the vehicle should I go...
