Building a 6.4 tow pig

You will have to unlock it for another vin I do believe, and get 6.4 files.

Honestly if you only plan on towing and not hot roding just upgrade the atmo or get the industrial tow powers and call it good. The 450 will respond amazingly well to either if those upgrades, especially the tow powers cause the rpms that they run at at 70mph the Vgt is being driven fully or close to it all the time. My duty cycle level empty is 27-35%. Loaded is only 50%.

Turbos instead of no limit pipe, intercooler and intake mani?

I wouldn't get an airdog or fass if you have it to me. they are super unreliable right now, and I'd hate to get stranded towing in the middle of no where. plus you don't really gain much on stock fuel.

Who's having reliability issues

I know quite a few people that are getting rid of them for that reason, and some carrying extra motors for this reason. just review some threads. I don't have any for reference right off the top of my head. but i can do some searching if need be

If you are towing heavy and in any big mountains a secondary trans cooler is a must, I can't tell you how many times I had the trans get hot as soon an the t/c unlocks.

Yeah, there have been a few threads on that. At one time, I was planning to do the same route until the stories of them biting the dust kept coming up. I am gonna stay stock for a little longer and then maybe see how Morgan's setup is working out.

I love my a-1000 setup from Marty.

If you havent seen a airdog or fass problem thread you must live under a rock lol. Plenty of people have problems with them all over the diesel industry. Just had a fass that was blowing fuses and was loud. Only 1 year old right on the day. FIxed now hopefully knock on wood.

I've heard airdog is improving there pumps. but as of now they're crap.

Yep. If a bare bones build I would... But if upgrading turbos I would really looking to a hi flow cai. Bigger than a afe or s&b. like mikes
