What mods next?
Hi All
1999 24V 5.9, in my dually for towing and fun.
So far I have Replaced: Injection pump, Lift pump (relocated closer to tank and put in a low fuel warning light) Installed: K&N cold air intake system, CFM+ charged air intake, Scheid lightning 90+hp injectors (stock was 215), rebuilt transmission to race level, billet triple disc TC, Mag-Hytech extra capacity pan, temp sensor, etc., Boost, Pyro and Trans gauges. Now about controllers/chips, I need to probably install the ADD device before the MAP sensor, as I seem to "defuel" just before the tranny shifts when hitting 30 lbs. boost. It runs cooler EGT's with the CFM Intake.
This is fairly new to me (the whole diesel performance thing) So I'm trying to learn everything I can before getting laughed at like I see happen on some sites out there. My knowledge used to only revolve around Mopar Muscle Cars, Big blocks in particular.
Should I Use the ADD add-on and a good tuner/controller? What would be the best on to safely control what I have. I just like having a sleeper that will scream when I kick it. (Like my 67 440 powered R/T used to do! and then turn around and tow the horses up a mountain pass. All the while getting better mileage than my gas counterparts. (Impossible?)

Did you just get a stock replacement lift pump??If so you need to upgrade that before ya start putting the fuel to her or you will burn up your new VP an airdog or FASS is your best choices and any of our vendors on the site can help with that...The ADD would be a good addition for just running with injectors but once ya get a chip/programmer must of them do your low boost fueling so you wouldnt really need it but it wont hurt nothin...THere is so many chip/priogrammers out there...Most of Edge's stuff is real popular (Juice with attitude, Comp etc.) and alot of guys are falling in love with the Adrenaline although im not sure how it works with towing but the power for play time is definately there
