What kind of Diesel performance mods does everyone run, pros and cons of said products would be good to know also.
I run the Edge Juice with attitude. I really like it. I am also getting the alli upgraded at the end of the month, then getting the HOT version of the edge. I also have an AFE Stage II intake kit, and looking to get a 4 or 5 inch exhaust soon. Then again I will be saving my pennies for the TTS tunes. John
New/additional clutches, shift kit (new valves, parts,etc) and reprogramming New triple disc billet torque convertor. John
my rig is some what stock... i have EGT Gauge, Boost Gauge, and Fuel Pressure Gauge. granted they are not power makers i think they are NEEDED BEFORE power makers of any type other than exhaust or intake stuff. i will be drilling a hold in the pre filter side of my air box to allow a bit more cold air into the engine along with removing the baffels out of the tube going into the turbo. hollow out the cat and remove the mufler using a genos muffler kit removal kit. that will be about it until i decide to risk voiding the warranty. truck is over a year old now with just over 6k miles on it.... i also have the fast coolers for the 6 speed. all of this has to be done or instaled still, and i will do the gauges first then the rest to see if EGT's Drop and how much. Steve, what type of rig you have? still the K2500 burban? or is something else in the works? 5 days.... and counting... Grant
Still have the 7.4 Burb right now, but plan on upgrading to a new Diesel 05 or 06, still haven't decided on which yet.
i do not think you should do any mods till you do the gages it is very imporant to know what you are doing in that moter _ like add a $100 chip and melt a $1500 turbo after that a tuner or 4 or 5 exust system , and a big trany cooler is needed to (my first mod)
i like the 24 v dodge and 7.3 PSD ford stay away from the 6.0 ford it is going to be replaced already and as for GM i just have not seen them make Power reliably if stock will run a long time
Mine is pretty tame. I've got what is now considered the "standard" Juice and Attitude. Planned on an ATS upgrade last fall, but financial hiccups have postponed that. I generally run it only on level 4 to save the stock trans. Level 2 towing due to EGTs. I love this thing, lots of get-up-n-go... I like the DMax best because it can make more reliable power cheaper than any of the other three. There are honest-to-goodness (otherwise) stock trucks out there with upgraded Allisons and 500+ rwhp on nothing but a single "box" and oversized exhaust driven daily and raced on the week ends. And everyone likes to beat on those "weak aluminum heads", but from what I've read (maybe biased) the DMax can put down more power without having head work done than a Cummins or International. Seems like I saw on one of the forums a guy with a DMax dyno'd 800+ hp or so(?) with nothing but head studs. Way beyond my interest level, but it does make me feel good about the level of use mine gets.
Not from me. Those heads have proven they can take a LOT of boost. Todays aluminum heads are a lot better than older designs, from what I have heard. An AFR representative told me their alums for gassers can resist cracking better than a stock pair of iron heads.
My plans include, in this order: -AFE Intake - DONE -4" Exhaust - DONE -Exhaust Brake - DONE -Fuel pressure/boost/EGT - DONE -FASS Fuel Delivery -Southbend conFE clutch -TST PMCR -Head studs -Piers Twins I want the TST because I can grow into it. I can run it on level 4-5 with my stock turbo and such and then move up into levels 6-10 with the twins and such. The EDGE boxes only add 100hp or so and I don't want to pay that much for something I'll just have to replace. The TST is the best box out there for a 3G Dodge. Lance on PBB who has the same truck I do with twins and TST is hitting well over 500 hp now with 1000* EGT's while towing.
Most of mods to my 6.5L rocket ship are in my signature. My immediate plans are to remove my muffler (to lower my EGT's), and get the IP timing adjusted.
05 Duramax with Predator tuner on 65hp setting for daily driving/light towing Need gauges/exhaust and tranny then more power.
