upgrade after boost tube

Rolling Rock08 · 11-05-2009, 04:30 PM

alright i'm trying to decide what upgrade to do next that does not void the warranty. I have the CAI to put in and i'm going to order the boost tube next. i have the edge insight on the way. so what is a good next upgrade??? is the shibby air horn worth it? i thought i saw something posted by him that said it's not iworth it f you don't have a programmer. thanks for all the help

Don't aftermarket air horms delete the EGR? I would think that would void warranty for sure. What about an intercooler? Will it void any warranty? If you find there's not much more you can do to the engine without voiding warranty, I'd look at some suspension and steering upgrades. Maybe a steering box brace and some Bilstein shocks to improve the ride and handling.

Shibby stage 1 intake horn flows alot mote air then the stocker. Plus the stage 1 allows the use of the EGR if you wish.

Thanks for the info Skin. I didn't realize anyone made a horn that still uses the EGR as it's a mod thats waaaaay down on my list so I haven't looked into them at all.

that's why i was looking at the shibby. that way i can use it now and then when i go programmer and everything else just but the delete plates on. i do want to level the front and i have heard good things about putting those shocks on.

that damn cummins · 11-05-2009, 06:16 PM

honestly u should put the egr delete up on top a dealer is not gunna care if u unplug the egr as bad as a programmer and yes u will lose 40 horsepower but u dont have a bunch of crap goin in ur motor for the long run after u dont have a warrenty just my opinion

It is a good upgrade on any truck and truth be told some of the happiest guys are running only a DPF delete and the EGR blocked.

You dont loose 40 HP by simply unplugging the EGR valve UNLESS you are running the smarty then the EGR servo motor has to stay plugged in and hung on the side many of these trucks have been dynoed and i does not loose power.

And yes if you are going to continue running the EGR valve and emissions the Shibby stage 1 is worththe money the OEM intake is a JOKE

thanks for all the imput, so this is what i'm think go with the boost tube, the shibby stage 1 and then unplug the egr after the winter months. it get's cold in alaska and i want everything to heat up. so how's that sound for a plan?

***rbmedic75*** · 11-06-2009, 05:46 PM

yeah that will work for you and you will see a gain. But I will strongly advise deleting the EGR valve this thing is the detriment to our ENGINES. it does make the engine heat up a little quicker but to me not worth the extra wear and tear or recirculating the exhaust through your truck. I would keep your grid heater delete the egr and if quick warm ups are a biggie which i would say up there they probably are get a block heater or one of the aftermarket heaters that run off your diesel tank fuel bud. I hate the EGR valves they are 80% of the problem with our trucks then 10% DPF and the last 10% is chrysler dumb stuff
