alignment? what year is the truck?

Yeah i was about to pull the trigger on a H&S but found a guy here in town who sold me the exhaust and dpf-r together for $500. And already got 1/2 my money back selling the converter and dpf. It did exactly what i wanted. I just filled up for the 1st time yesterday and will post mpg gains, hand...

Well after lots of research i finally got around to it and installed a flo pro 5" turbo back exhaust, 4" down pipe, and a dpf-r. Quick and painless install and am loving the mpg gains. The 5" exhaust really makes the 6.4 sound like a jet engine! LOVIN IT! Thanks for the advice.

Ok. thanks. so I should do the wrenching first and before starting go ahead and do the tuner and all is well? Has anyone gotten a ton of miles on their 6.4 without any of this? Any advice on intakes?

Bought a 6.4 yesterday, R.I.P. boss hog. It's the stampede edition, 2008 with 82,467 miles. I am not concerned with making loads of power, more concerned with getting the most life I can out of it and from what I have researched I need to do a DPF delete, EGR delete and get a tuner to turn off...

jack the front end up by the frame and get a big pry bar between the spring and shackle and see if it slides either direction.

My 04 did the same thing. I ordered new bushings for the front leaf springs and found out it cost more to have them pressed in than to just buy brand new spring packs that came with new bushings installed so I sent the bushings back, ordered new springs, installed and problem solved. 3 days...

I have recently been using XDP diesel additive and was wondering what everyone else is using or whats the best. I have a friend who has been using this additive and swears he is getting 3 more mpg and can notice a difference in performance. I can not notice a thing. $9 for a small bottle that...

Did they make the late 6.0 with the early HPOP and no STC fitting?

that's not a for sure way of telling. I have an early 04 with the ICP on the valve cover.

sweet man. thanks. I also just put this on the Injector Stiction forum and think I might try and do this my self. With an extra FICM of course. http://www.bscustoms.net/diesel/FICM.pdf

Check this out... 3. FICM Injector Current Pulse Increase The stock injector pulse was specified as 400 μs – 5.8 ms at 20 A. I wanted a little extra current to help overcome injector stiction or other electro-mechanical issues that might arise in the injectors. I tried to trace back the...

When my hpop blew the little ball out the side I got the revised stc kit and when I tore down to it I discovered there was no stc, early 04 6.0. I also had the early 6.0 hpop. By the way save your $$$ if this ever happens to you and just get a 1/4" plug and tap that hole the ball blew out of and...

Thanks for the info. So it sounds like the 58V FICM will get me more life from my injectors? I am more concerned right now with getting everything reliable before trying to get more horses. Have you herd of people going with the straight thru elbow fittings rather than the 6.4 banjos? I found a...

Is FICM tuning different from just building a 58V FICM?
