    2005 Super Duty Powerstroke

    Hi Everyone ! I'm new to your site. I've recently purchased a used Ford 2005 F250 Super Duty Harley Davidson Model Powerstroke. It has 26000 miles on her and I've added an AIRAID air intake and 4" Turbo back SS Summit Auto Racing S/S :rolleyes: exhaust system.
    My question to everyone is ; What do you suggest for a programmer ? I'm towing a 11,000 # 5th wheeel toyhauler with two HD's in the back. I'm only intersted in towing performance and fuel milage when I'm not towing. There is so many programmers out there I'm not sure which way to turn. Looking for some practical experience and help.

    Hi, my name is Steve. I own an 03 f350 6.0 crew cab 4x4 dually lariat. It has towed about 12k, hauled 28 bails in one load and hauls just about whatever I ask it to. I can't complain, it is my first diesel and I cannot imagine going back to gas(although my wife loves her f250 gasser. The motor was replaced at 72k(warranty) and I cannot complain because ford did right by me and even gace me a loaner for the 4 weeks it took to put an 04 long block in.

    I have only put in a washable filter and a stering stabilizer. 13k until the warranty is up then my wish list in order is as follows
    Tuner w/guages (any suggestions), cold air intake, exhaust, tranny upgrades.

    Hey there, Glad to be aboard. This is my first time joining a messege board so bear with me. I'm Mike (Shiner) I drive a 2006 King ranch 4 door dually pulling a 36' Raptor toy hauler fully loaded and a flat towed '06 jeep wrangler behind that. My wife and I are full time RVers as our jobs take us all over. My rig is completely stock. (for now) So far after 50,000+ miles I cant ask for more. I love my PSD!

    04' F350

    My name is Wayne and I drive a 2004 F350 and love it! I am in construction but only tow a 36 ft toy hauler.Never had any problems at all. I changed to a K&N filter but the so called box sucks, it would not allow the filter to connect right so I had to remove. I did not realize any increase in mileage with it. Also had 4" exhaust put on and again no increase in Mileage. Just got the Edge programmer and will install it this week. I switched to AMSOIL and saw an increase in pickup immediately.

    What can I do that will increase the performance and mileage?
    It has about 95Kon it and I bought it new.

    Hey, my name is Ed. I drive a Ford F 250 crew cab longbed. I just put airbags on the rearend, otherwise its all stock. I bought it used with 84,000 miles on it. I have towed two trailers ( both over 30' ) and have been very impressed with it. It will be towing a 33' toy hauler 10 or 12 times a year. I will be visiting these forums often I'm sure.

    F-350 2006

    Just traded my good old F-250 1994 Turbo diesel fro a F-350 2006,SD,LB,XLT,SRW .
    The F-250 was my first truck and I used it for towing my 5W , I had it since 2002 and it did a great job,and it was kind of sad to get it traded.
    But I will get over it with this 2006 beast.
