Well fellas...i just got my 96 f350. A week and 3 days ago... she has 317000 miles ...i have replaced pass vc, harness,pig tails.
It has a drop in air filter in original housing.Today i removed the original factory exh.Yea all those miles and never been molested...kinda sad...not! I installed an mbrp down pipe feeding a 4" rest of the exh. And finished it with a stainless 4" tip....nice tone though not really loud. Now to scrape some cash together for a flip chip. I really only need economy and towing improvement.will on occasion have to pull 29' enclosed car trailer... are the leveling kits for these any good?
Nice. Now get rid of the drop in filter and get a 6637 intake from clay at Riffraff diesel

Ok,since im dumb.i just checked it out.im in...except i already have a 45 of 4"not left over from exh...i am gonna check on that filter through my parts supplier at the shop...
For preformance yes but more for keeping the turbo happy and not getting dusted. The stack air box sucks

I am going to call around on monday.i use multiple wharehouses at my shop...i work on the local napa store oowners53 chevy reguraliarly...we shall see if he remembers my good service
I just fabbed up the 6637 with a section of 4" 45-elbow as well- scuffed it, painted it black, and put a hole in it for the restriction gauge. Looks ok for homemade!
6637 filter assy built,installed! I like that so much better than that stupid air box...You guys rock!
Just one question...at what point is an IC needed? I dont plan on getting crazy with this truck but it will be pulling a 28' enclosed car trailer on occasion,or any one of my customers cars to who knows where...I am guessing wait on a chip obviously untill ic so it need programmed once...but it is a slippery slope and this old engine has 319000to miles....so injectors and hpop prob but hope the engine does not crap out...ahhhh
opinions?thanks fellas!
A IC is nice but I wouldnt worry about it till you put stage ones in

I'd get gauges first, then the chip, so you can see where you are with EGTs. Gauges are next on my list. I'm by no means an expert on this, just what I'm learning on here!LOL!
