6.4L Upgrades and Aftermarket - EngineUpgrading and adding aftermarket equipment to your 2008 Super Duty truck with 6.4L Power Stroke diesel engine. Please confine discussion of topics in this forum to those items that are specific to the 6.4L Power Stroke engine.
I received my IQ yesterday. Thanks Moie. Guys if you want to talk to a sales person at Banks that will tell it like it is and do everything possible to help you talk to Moises Diaz. He is a good guy.
I will let you know what I think of the IQ after I get it installed.

is anyone ordering the combo package from banks (ram air, iq, and exhaust)? i ordered mine a couple of days ago, but i am thinking if i really need to go that way just to slightly improve my mileage (instead of just going the intake route first).
i am a geek at heart, so i its not too hard for me to try and justify this purchase, but i guess it wouldn't hurt to find out if i went extremely overboard this time.
also, has anyone got shots of their install (with all 3 pieces)? how hard is the install?

you gotta believe that somebody here whether they say it or not will think you went crazy! I thought I upgraded a bunch...hell, I did! But you are going to the next three levels with all the Banks stuff too. I would love to get that exhaust brake (speed brake) but right now, I want to make sure it will not throw codes that F could deem a warranty killer. Beisdes that, with that newest torque shift, I want to see if I even need it. Yes just to have it would be nice but there are some concerns, so lets see how this goes down the road a bit before I buy it too.

I have the dual exhaust, ram air, six-gun and speed brake at the moment. The iQ will probably be installed in the next week or two so I can give and evaluation of that as well.
Right now I'm trying some things with the speed brake per Jeff's suggestion. Basically, some settings for an unladen truck.

x2!
It is your truck! Do what you want to it, and don't worry about what we think.
Installed the IQ yesterday works great. Alot of information at your fingertips and pretty easy to navigate thru.Would recomend purchasing,but theres always a but the mounting bracket sucks it mounts to the windshield and barely fits between the pillar and dash ,sits up pretty high and is distracting while driving at night.Then theres the factor of sombody smashing the window and steeling it before any alarm would do any good.So whith that said im in the process of building a custom bracket Im thinking of removing the lower pop out cup holder in the dash but leaving the compartment door and mounting it in there. then when your parked you shut the door then the unit is out of sight .keep you posted

That sounds awesome! Post pics when you complete it!!
Look nice, I only wish Banks would put more effort into there tunes and trans programming and less on the flashy stuff. Complete opposite to Spartan and Dp it seems.

if u guys are that in to asthetics has anyone thought of tossing the stock stereo putting in a single DIN stereo and mounting that unit above it.It would get rid of all of your wiring plus get that cool computer hooked to your speakers and leave your usb ports available...Although we all know there is nothing better than a stock ford stereo
