Trans and electrical issues haunt all forms of Mopar products.

I'd settled and bought a Ford personally...all 3 have downsides...

I'm just a 7.3L with a 6-spd

Big reason for the 7.3L was veggie oil use and its cummins like reliability...that and once you hit about 400-450whp (before it gets hard and expensive to make power) you are sitting around 1000-1100 lb-ft normally.

I do love the mpg of the cummins though. Might actually have to do a swap when the 7.3L dies in a few hunder thousand more miles.

Next, I'll probably do the Banks Six Gun tuner with PDA, exhaust, and intake. Not sure about the suspension, but looking at either Icon 7" or Rize 6 or 8 inch with 22" Ion Terminators or 22" KMC Monsters with 37" Toyos or Kumho KL71's. Again, more plans than money, hehehe.

SCT on a 6.0 hands down.

As for intake and exhaust just look around. I got my 5 inch turbo back from shop diesel shipped for around 300 bucks. Fit perfect and went on with no problem. extreme diesel has pretty good prices as well, and laguna speed. when you get ready to look into a lift PM me, I can give you some numbers to get a good deal. Egr delete is a good idea. As for headstuds, unless your running a nasty tune you will be ok. But if they do pop, get it done. Ford with put the aftermarket ones in.

Re: Good turbo diesel forums?

I've heard Jody @ DPTuner is a good bet for custom tunes on a SuperDuty. I personally like Bill at PHP, but thats for my OBS...

slowrx thanks for the good info. A lot of people have been telling me the same thing...ditch Banks and go SCT X3.

innovative diesel is a short trip away and you can really get you a custom tune. i have thought about going up there and seeing him myself.
