i have a 2006 ford super duty.. exhaust.. 6-8 in lift not real sure.. 22s with 35/12.5 toyos garrett turbo. bully dog triple dog power pup. bully dog outlook. thats all i no of.. my question is im get 2300 dollars back from taxes i was wanting to put it towards my truck i want to get a front bumper i can get a road armor for 1400 but i wanna do head studs an egr delete. so what would you guys do if you were me? thanks for the help guys

 

Definitely studs and delete, especially since you have a tuner. The way I see it, it doesn't matter how good your truck looks if it is just going to sit in the driveway broken. Honestly, though studs, delete, coolant filter and I would look into a SCT tuner with custom tunes. With that tuner, chances are you'll get more power and it won't be as hard on your tranny as that BD is. Welcome to the site , hope I was helpful.

 

^what he said. Perfect call mud digger.

 

Yup, agreed. You can probably just sell all that bullydog stuff to pay for an SCT too.

 

thanks mud digger i get your point havent thought of it that way.. i found a guy the will do arp head studs get the heads checked egr delete takes the turbo off an cleans it an checks the oil cooler out if its bad put a new one on for around 3100 im guessing thats pretty good? an also i no its not right for them to blow black smoke but i love having black smoke come out the exhaust i would like to have more could i get that with an sct tune with out screwn anything up?

 

Black smoke is basically just a sign of poor tuning on a daily driver truck. Sure most of them will puff a little before the turbo lights, but most of the good tuners for the SCT will only have a slight haze at WOT once the turbo is lit.


Black smoke is putting a "black eye" so to speak on the diesel community. The movement now is for clean power. Obviously we all love it, but please smoke responsibly.

That price doesn't sound that great, especially if he's only "checking" and not replacing parts. I would agree to NEW parts. Heads need to be checked for flatness, magnafluxed for cracks, a valve job would be a good idea, and pressure checking. This ran ~$500 for my heads. This is the most essential step to the process. Use OEM headgaskets only.

 

i done figured i dont need more smoke i wanna squeze all the power i get out of it. well im pretty sure the 3100 is having the heads sent off egr delete head studs an the new oil cooler i would have to double check.. so where can i get a sct with custom tunes an what custom tunes? its my dd dont really tow anything might in the future but it would just be pulln a trailer with four wheelers to the dunes.. i like to race around everyonce in awhile dont go to the track all tho i have been thinkn about it just to see what it would run an have sum fun.. thanks for all the help mdub appricate it

 

You can probably get one of the SCT's from a vendor on here, and some of them more than likely offer the custom tunes you'd want.

Look for tunes from:

Eric @ Innovative Diesel
Matt @ Gearhead
Doug @ GoGo (Direct injection performance).

Those are my 3 favorites.

 

so is different scts? an how do they work on my truck do i just plug it into the obd port deal? an our eric or any of them on here? this is all new to me so im not real sure what i did to do sorry for all the questions
