So it seems like I have been away from the forums long enough that I have forgotten everything that I once knew. Pretty much all the following questions Im asking a newb would ask and i know that I know the answers but I forgot.
Ive seriously been on this forum for several years, and the others for even longer. Funny how this happens.
Ok heres the skinny, I traded my truck to my old man for a year or so now, and now I have it traded back, it seems that it has fallen into some disrepair (not like it was in super great shape when it left).
I need glowplugs, injectors, turbo, uppipes, tires, and it seems to have a terrible starting issues (worst then when I last posted on here several months ago)
Its a E99 F350 dually auto 7.3L with 220,000+ miles
Glowplugs no big deal.
Tires going with 255/85/16 Coopers
Uppipes sucks to spend $460 but its an e99 and I dont feel like upgrading everything just for cheap pipes
Heres the questions:
Injectors: I want 160/30s. Full force or PIS best price/deal?
with that ill be needing a hydra chip, thinking of PHP tunes.
Turbo: its an early 1999 so not alot of options, I was hoping that KC turbos was going to release their 38R for the e99 but they never have, so that doesnt leave alot of options. I really dont want to spend the coin to go over to late 99 parts, not going T4 for the same monetary reasons.
Need something for pretty heavy towing (26' stock trailer)
If I go to 160/30 injectors what fuel system upgrades are needed? just the Frx or full regulated return?
Also with todays tuning will a triple disk torque converter and valve body get me by? I really dont like the idea of a $3500+ freight tranny. this truck sees like 500 miles a month. MAYBE.
I have more questions but I cant seem to remember them either. Thanks
