    Question power steering

    Have you flushed your trans. before?

Since then I've been scared to do my sdd250. Its an 08 with 208k on...

    Overheating????

    after you do the dpf delete does your truck make a bunch of smoke, or noise? dont want that. also, you said a "gas tuner" what is that? i put a superchips cortex 1950 on mine and an airaid air filter but mpg still sucks.

Does anyone have a comment on the edge evolution programmer? It has very good reviews and I can get it for about $380. Is this a good "starter" programmer...
