:fordoval: Hi guys,

I am new to the forum. I have been doing a lot of reading lately. since i finally pulled the trigger on a f350 diesel cc Lb lariat. I have been looking for a good clean low mileage one for years and it finaly paid off. Found a Early 1999 f350 cc lariat lb 4x4 at my local dodge dealer in town had 72,448 miles on it when i bought it on 8-26-2013. I have put 1,000 miles on it and now looking for upgrades.

I have been reading into tuners/chips and i think i narrowed it down to power hungry performance new hydra. A lot of the posts i read are from former dp tuner users and how much they love the new php hydra and tunes over the dp ones for many reasons.

what do you all think i should i do to this truck. its all stock minus a 4 inch mbrp turbo back exhaust, egt temp/trans temp/ boost gauges on piller. S&B cold air intake. thats all i know of.

had the torque converter replaced by dealer with the new updated one since the old one was coming apart.

thanks for the welcomes and im glad to be a 7.3 powerstroke owner :

thanks guys always looking for locals to help out if ever needed any info. any good local mechanics? i bought the truck from oak harbor motors its a dodge dealer and i know they personally didnt look over the truck. it had a few issues. so i had them fix them. also i didnt notice the dry rott on the tires. side wall cracks. i traded in a truck with brand new tires 1600 bucks of bfg and now i have to replace them. may go back and ask them to split the bill cause thats not cool. tread is like brand new on the tires just truck was not driven mutch aprently prob used to haul a camper or boat. has 4 holes in bed so used to have a 5th wheel hitch.
