FNG here. Any tips

armynavyguy · 11-07-2009, 12:56 AM

Sorry Fellas but I'm new to the 6.7. Just traded my 08 F-350 V10 on a 09 2500 6.7. Lookin for the latest and greatest. Thanks Fellas.

Nice trade hoss, if you have the money. (Around $1,000) Get in contact with Rollin Smoke Diesel and talk to James. Get hooked up with either a Smarty or XRT, get a five inch turbo back exhaust and a set of egr blocker plates. Again, all of the can be purchased for around a grand and will make your new truck oh so sweet.
It may sound like a lot (Maybe not) but the install, even to someone who is novice to the 6.7 is not that difficult. Maybe a 4 on a scale of 1-10.
This will help your truck out immensely not to mention the mpg, power and acceleration gains.
Keep in mind, this is my opinion but I think you will find many people on here who will back me up,

Mike
What is the build date on your truck? (Located on inner drivers side door)

Thanks man. Where are you from in Wyo. I'm from Gillette but I'm stationed at Ft Bragg right now. Build date was 4-09. Whys that.

3/09 and later have a locked ECM that won't accept a tuner. Rumor from H&S is that they'll have that problem defeated before the end of the year.

That is the easiest & free mod that will gain you fuel economy & reliability.

We were all FNG at one time or another.

An early start for Veterans Day...

Thank you sir.

What does the EGR do? Just unplugging it will do what?

Nothing but respect for you and your choice in the service.

I'm sixty miles west of Gillette in Buffalo.

Yep, you are shut down for now.

I don't know if you could do any DIY deletes, but it may not be worth the effort. that ECM will get cracked sooner or later.

Oh ya, unplug your EGR.

Can the Edge Juice with Attitude be used on trucks with this build date?

Hmm, I may have spoke to soon. I don't know if an edge system would work for deletes on that build date.

I was refering to code free tuners.
