Re: possibly buying an 07 6.0, warranty questions

Siiighhghghhhh,

Why, oh why do people feel they have to "improve" a perfectly fine running truck with performance mods?


A factory delivered PSD w/ a 6.0 is tweaked, & tuned to run GREAT out of the box. What do you need a different intake, exhaust, and chip for? The truck will pull anything you can leagally tak onto it, and leave others in the dust doing it.

If you want a dragster, or a competion sled puller - mod away, just realize you have a specific type vehicle & be prepared to spend the money on it.

If you want a dependable daily drive that gets good economy, goes to work every day and does it with power - leave it alone. It dosen't need additional tweaking.

The only mods I'd consider is gauges. Factory gauges are a cost savings joke, as most people ignore them any way. If you want to take care of it gauges to monitor trouble areas, such as EGT, trans temp, water / oil temps & boost are about all you need. If you're REALLY towing heavy on a regular basis (day in day out), then maybe a 4" exhaust to help lower EGTs. Nothing else is needed

Coming from a 7.3, I can kind of understand the desire, as these NEEDED the enhancments to help an anemic motor. The 6.0 don't need it.

I guess WANT is another thing.
