Help please! Current mods are in sig. When I tow in any setting above (4) I get a check engine light (dont remember the code) but its the Low high pressure oil pump. Wondering what would be the best option for a fix. I typically tow around 7000 pounds. I am able to hold 55-60 mph in the mountains with the egts maxing out keeping them around 1200-1250 degrees. Would I get better fuel economy if I can tow in position (4) 80 tow? If I buy a booster fuel pump, would it be worth its money in performance for my setup? Im considering the fuel pump at this time but really dont want to upgrade the turbo and injectors for costs reasons. Thanks for any help! Harold :thumbsup: Hello all. Help please!

I have a 2001 CrewCab 7.3 with 202K on it. Truck runs like brand new. Just purchased 36' 5th wheel, that is 10K dry weight. I live in Colorado and frequently travel over 11K mountain passes. I am looking to get some more power out of the truck to avoid going 15 mph up I-70. I think I want to stick with Banks kit, I hear nothing but great things about them. What do you guys recommend? I also need to do something on the intake side as Banks no longer makes an intake for 7.3s. I have also heard that adjustable modules like the 6 Gun Shooter are not the way to go, better to chip it once and be done with it. Thoughts or recommendations? My truck thanks you ahead of time. ]]> Upgrades and Aftermarket - 7.3L Engine dsroka80504 http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f25/need-more-power-242575/ http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f25/used-dp-tuner-f5-242555/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:40:22 GMT What would you pay for a used F5 with the following tunes. 1.

I'm a college student so money is hard to come by but i've been looking to change my exhuast. I'm about to straight pipe my f250 and am kinda tired of the same 6'' tip i have come out the back. Some buddies think i should "dump" the exhuast with a turndown or do the side exit before the rear tire. Does one sound better than the other, any pros? cons? I'd appreciate the help.....thanks. ]]> Upgrades and Aftermarket - 7.3L Engine lukyroll777 http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f25/exhaust-options-242537/ http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f25/want-up-fitter-switch-242536/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:41:02 GMT if you could get your hands on a set up up fitters out of a wrecked truck with the harness could you make them work on a 2001 truck. i am not really worried about cutting into the dash for a mount just about the wiring. if you could get your hands on a set up up fitters out of a wrecked truck with the harness could you make them work on a 2001 truck. i am not really worried about cutting into the dash for a mount just about the wiring. ]]> Upgrades and Aftermarket - 7.3L Engine hugestroke http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f25/want-up-fitter-switch-242536/ http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f25/diablo-sport-predator-02-7-3-excursion-242531/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:29:30 GMT I'm Currently running the Diablo sport tuner in my EX. It came with the truck when I bought it. Just wondering what you guys think of the tuner or is there a better one out there. Driveability with this tuner is kind of harsh sometimes. If you're going over bumps and your foot gets to bouncing on the accelerator it really revs the motor up and down. I've had other 7.3s and ran an edge chip and superchips on them and there was never any driveability issues. So just wondering if anybody has had any experience with this tuner, is there a better tuner, or do I have something else wrong with my truck to give it these driveability issues. ]]> Upgrades and Aftermarket - 7.3L Engine rockyking http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f25/diablo-sport-predator-02-7-3-excursion-242531/ http://www.thedieselstop.com/forums/f25/banks-big-head-242513/ Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:02:44 GMT how bout it what do you think of the big head? going to put this on with the wheel how bout it what do you think of the big head?
