My pos has: injectors, glow plugs, Starter


Ohhhh God.... don't do that, LOL

No, I was thinking maybe you should get a Cummins? I haven't spent $14k in repair on mine since buying it 6 years ago

Other than the bullet proofing, CAI, and turbo back exhaust (well and the lift) it is all stock as far as I know. So, yes, still has the original turbo.

no tune?

It may be time to get you a Cummins? LOL

Doesn't matter which one you have. If it has a diesel it's triple the price just to open the hood!
Loved my 2 dodge trucks I had though.

Oh, yeah, I forgot that.. and a SCT tuner.

It's a canned tune from SCT. If I remember correctly, it's a 150HP tune. It came pre-tuned w/ a 40HP tow/150HP street/200HP strip (I maybe 50ishHP off on my numbers, it was several years ago). Either way, I loaded the middle of the road tune.

man your killing your transmission and loosing horsepower! Ive used matt @ gearhead and vivian @ quick trips. Vivian is like 50$ and a world of difference over a canned tune.

I'm not sure about the transmission, but it has a helluva lot more horsepower after the tune????? I know an actual programmer can get more out of it by adjusting according to my individual truck and I may go that route one of these days, but for now, I am happy w the SCT. I read and researched a lot for purchasing, and this was the most often recommended programmer on all the Ford forums.

ETA: but they were scrubbing the entire time. To the point that I believe they were locked on the rotor. Pedal was spongy and had to give it a good push on the foot feed to get the thing to move. Take foot off foot feed and truck would come to a stop w/o touching the brakes rather quickly (at low speeds).

Sounds like a caliper was sticking.
