Hey guys im new around here, but not to forums. Im picking up a 2005 F-250 harley davidson this week. Itll be my first diesel truck so I had it checked out by my buddy who owns a diesel shop, and ran a carfax on it. Everything came back good so im going to buy it. It has 168K miles on it 6in lift, 35's, ARP head studs, SCT programer, AFE intake, 4in turbo back, quadzilla monitor, new batteries. I have been on the forums looking around for a while now and have planned some mods. Already have a Scangauge II to replace the quadzilla, Sinister coolant filter is on the way, Oil will be changed the day I get it to rotella synthetic 5w-40 w/ford filter, fuel filters will be changed at the same time w/ford filters, Will be doing a hot trans flush, wheels will be changed to 20x12 fuel hostage's wrapped in 35x12.50 trail graps, Sinister EGR delete will be getting installed along with a update kit for the turbo feed/drain and other parts associated with the turbo being pulled, blue spring mod, and cleaning the turbo while its off. Now some things id like more info on:
Tunes;
ECM- Was wanting to get custom tunes either ID or PHP
FICM- Again ID or PHP Atlas 40 or 80?
While the turbo was off for cleaning would it be worth it for a wheel upgrade? Batmo or MTW?
Truck will be my DD, I dont pull more then a single car trailer and the most weight would be a mustang. Most likley not going to be getting into the bigger fuel system/injectors and no more turbo then needed, would be happy with power around 450-500. Not going to race maybe take it out to the local 1/8th mile and play at tnt just for some fun, same with pulling would just go out for some fun nothing competitive. So lets hear it guys what do you think of my plans? Look forward to the info ill get off this site as ive already seen there is a ton!
