    Thoughts on these headers?

    Those headers sure look good, but I tend to agree!!:thumbup:

    63.5mm turbo concerns

    I just had a KC 1.5 installed last week, haven't tried it on stock tune, drove it with a Quick Tricks 50 hp Tow tune, not really impressive but was fine. Tried the canned SCT X4 65HP Tow, that ran very well, have been driving it since install with the TSD Super Panty Dropper. What a...

    Early 03 gutted butterfly valve?

    I've got an 04.5 and have been meaning to pull the valve and see if there's anything inside it. If there is, then it's good to pull that valve out?? Should just get an aftermarket elbow and do away with all the extra crap, right? I've been deleted for a few years now, is that valve what causes...

    Anyone else having SCT X4 problems?

    The OTHER Powerstroke forum? LOL, Yeah that was prolly me, I go back and forth between all 3, there's another Garage I used to hang out on but it got a little slow. If I went looking at more I'd never get off the couch!!:D

    Anyone else having SCT X4 problems?

    LOL, damn near talked to all the techs they had in the course of a month and a half, I'm thinking I was one of the first to have this happen, from the sounds of it on the phone with them. Vivian was on the phone with them for several days, keeping me updated, I talked to Josh at SCT 12 minutes...

    Anyone else having SCT X4 problems?

    Was a real PIA wasn't it??!!:fustrate: My first X4 went back twice. I got disgusted and bought another, same thing. Now I have an X4 to get rid of. Firmware updated.

    Replace wheel in stock turbo or new setup?

    Not yet,I want my .02 97 7.3 fan clutch and BPD Adaptor is the cats meow to knock those temps down for towing in hot weather and hot climates. Stock puter controlled fan doesn't do jack squat. I've seen 240 EOT and close to 220 ECT's, and whens the fan running! Hardly ever!! SCT just had a fix...

    Replace wheel in stock turbo or new setup?

    My truck just came out of the shop last week with studs, Sinister Y-pipes and R.R. fuel system, BPD water pump and 7.3 fan clutch setup, I had ordered a wheel from Charlie at KC to be put in at the time, was good timing as I was looking at the stock wheel prior to it going to the shop and found...

    Replacing tranny solenoid??

    Thanks for the detailed explanation SeaBee. I think this is something I'll install, about everything else I've done to my truck is along the same lines.:pint: Just waiting on SCT to figure out this issue with my X4, and put away enough cash to have Charlie build me a turbo!!

    What's Next?

    1040 deg. just cruising down the highway? Ouch, gearing for sure. BPD 7.3 fan clutch and adapter, will knock those EOT/ECT temps down. Works Great. Isn't what I've been reading saying is best to run a billet single plane wheel in the PowerMax??

    03 6.0 programmer

    I have two new X4's that do not recognize my vehicle after updating, at least the first one worked before updating. Both of them were built a day apart, June 25 & 26th. The first one is back at SCT's for the second time, the new one as of last Friday, is a lump of shiny black plastic on the...

    Replacing tranny solenoid??

    Ok, good info to know. A question about the 3-5 shift flare, as I haven't had a tune in my truck for a month, and only then for a day trying them out before the X4 quit working. Am presuming the shift flare would be an increase in rpm at those shift points, indicating slipping clutches due to...

    Replacing tranny solenoid??

    Ok, well I'll have to read up on this a bit more, not running big HP, can't even get an SCT X4 (2) to tune my PCM yet. Just wondered if this would help the tranny as far as reliability, it would be an easy mod to do for $150 and pulling the tranny pan to plug it in.

    Replacing tranny solenoid??

    No one has any info on this? If it's worth it or not?
