Thanks for the link! I installed the blue spring mod today and could definetly tell the difference in idle and compared the differences in spring tension. Changed the upper fuel filter out and will change the lower one this weekend. I don't have the giant socket for that one where I'm at.

Look at a few vendors for billett caps. Oil and fuel. One of my favorite things I did. Never worried about stripping them and also had a port for fuel pressure testing.

Does anyone know which fuse controls the tow/haul function? My button doesn't do anything when I press it nor does it light up. And when do fog lights come on or is there a switch somewhere? Those don't seem to work either

Pull out on the headlight knob for fog lights

I would never have thought that, I'll try it when I get home, thanks!

yeah, you have to pull the switch out, took me a min. to figure that on out also.

Aftermarket billet wheels, anyone have experience with them?

Yep, not worth it.

 

[powerSmokin]

Yep, not worth it.

That's what I figured, I have heard it both ways.

 

[Bustedknuckles]

That's what I figured, I have heard it both ways.

I put a batmowheel in a buddies 04 and he couldn't tell any difference.

man oh man, last time i steered someone away from a drop in wheel-i got vigorously chastised for daring to mention anything of the sort LOL

..it was by a turbo vendor-go figure.

STOP SPEWING MISINFORMATION!!

oke:

LOL

I wouldn't waste the money on one, op. Save the money for a whole new turbo if you want. The difference between stock and a pmax is noticeable, but the small difference I feel makes me think that the wheel would be a waste.

(I don't have a revised tune for the pmax yet though )

 

[powerSmokin]

I know batmo wheels are junk, stage 1 from MTW would be my choice if going to a different turbo. I gotta quit procrastinating on this crap, I haven't even installed the coolant filter kit that's been sitting in my room for a month! Lol

 

[sootie]

stay away from MTW, hit up James @ Barder Turbo Service.

 

[Powerstroke214]

Lol no. Not MTW…

Barder, or a stock pmax, or KC. Unless you're ok with being Madcuzyourturbonowerks…

 

[powerSmokin]

That's what I meant, Barder! I was reading a thread on MTW and it just kinda came out ha
I gotta be careful on this truck. My last truck (96 7.3) was a solid 500hp and was perfect so I'll shoot for that but spend less money getting there hopefully.
