    Best year or years for the 6.0?

    OK. So I have to start out by thanking Craig at MPD for replying to my email full of questions. So far he is the only sponsor who replied. Anyways, after emailing back and forth about options and pricing, I have almost talked myself out of a 6.0. Reason being, I can put $2,000 in a programmer...

    Best year or years for the 6.0?

    See I could definitely live with that. I figure a 150 will get less than 20 mpg even at it's best. The price of diesel here is about $.30 a gallon more expensive than gas. I don't drive much at all, maybe 8-10,000 miles a year. To me the savings on gas wouldn't be worth the loss of not being...

    Best year or years for the 6.0?

    If I could get a regular cab or extended cab short bed and mod it and get 16 or so mpg with mixed driving, I have no problem buying a diesel. I had a 08 F350 and a 08 F450 and never did get the miraculous mileage that everyone else did. The 350 single rear wheel was a crew short 4x4 and it never...

    Best year or years for the 6.0?

    Thanks to everyone for all the replies. A lot of good info here. I had to sell my 450 because I was diagnosed with a back disorder and had to sell my logging business as well. I won't be towing anything over 10,000 pounds in the foreseen future. I do own a 23 ft tag along camper and a smaller...

    Best year or years for the 6.0?

    I just sold my 08 F450 and am looking to replace it with a 6.0. I hate to ask here but I have sent emails to four different sponsors asking them to give me advice on which year or years are "best". What I mean is, I know the earliest 03's had issues. I know there were changes made to the engine...

    Dual 4" or single 5"

    Even with a straight thru type muffler? Would a 5" with a muffler still have decent tone? what about duals with a muffler prior to the split?

    Dual 4" or single 5"

    I have 4" DP and 4" single straight pipe currently. I tow alot. The hair dryer sound is about to get annoying. Any suggestions for a muffler? I don't mind loud, just hate the irritating hiss. Thanks.

    A few questions

    I'm located in western NC, somebody needs to open a shop closer to me! Lol. I'll give Rudy's and Dozer's a call tomorrow and see what each tells me. I had a 05 F250 with Eric's tunes in it. Only had exhaust, tuner and AFE and only kept it for around 10,000 miles but I really liked his tunes. I...

    A few questions

    I've had the pleasure of talking to Aaron before on my 08. Definitely knows his stuff. Never had the opportunity to talk to David though.

    A few questions

    I am looking at a 2006 F350 regular cab 4x4 that I am seriously considering buying. It only has 23,100 miles on it and has been taken extremely good care of. It is a manual truck. My questions are: 1-Whose tuning have you had the best results with on a manual transmission for a DD and towing...

    Best tune for heavy towing?

    Thanks for all the replies guys. I think if I go with the SCT I can't go wrong. That way I can try Gearhead, Innovative and KEM plus still have my Dashdaq for monitoring or return to my Spartan tunes if need be.

    Best tune for heavy towing?

    That's what I am leaning toward but I'm with you. It's hard to justify $1,000 bucks to "try" something, you know? I guess I am looking for someone to talk me into a different tuner. Lol. I was encouraged by several people to go with the Livewire because of it's reliabilty. That's what drives the...

    Best tune for heavy towing?

    I have done a full EGR delete with 4" downpipe and gate, Spearco, cold side pipe and CFM elbow, Batmo in the LP, AFE intake and full 4" exhaust. I currently run Spartan tuning but want to try something different. It may be that I have the right tunes already. Just been hearing so much great...

    Best tune for heavy towing?

    OK. I have a 08 450 4x4 with some bolt ons, stock fuel and stock transmission. I know everyone has an opinion. I would like honest feedback from people that have actually tried different tunes and tuners. I have 4.30 gears and gross up to and over 35,000 lbs. Please be civil and respectful of...

    Torque coverter questions

    Nowhere near 1,000hp! Haha. I am guessing, just going off what I've seen here, I may be in the 580-600 range??? Wait, let me backup a minute. I doubt that I am making that. I normally only run the 250 tune or less. Haven't had all this done to the truck too long. Still got alot of learning when...

    How does the RCD converter compare to the Suncoast and HD Suncoast? Has anyone had any experience with all three?

    Torque coverter questions

    I need some honest feedback guys. I frequently tow heavy, too heavy sometimes. I am starting to get TC slip. I assume it is anyway, I haven't hooked up my Dashdaq to see yet. My question is, which TC is gonna be best suited for me? What stall? I am deleted, gated, Spartan tuned, Spearco, CAC...

    Best traction bars for a 450

    Who offers the best ones? I do not sled pull or drag race but I do tow heavy, regularly. I am tuned, studded, egr delete, WG, 4" downpipe, CFM, Batmowheel, cac cold side pipe and a Spearco. I guess my question is, which are the best for what I do?
