Good morning guys.
Pete where is the 550 ?

Does any one have any ideas for a GTG ?

 

Good morning CT & company!

Have a great Saturday all.

 

We are so overdue for a GTG that I am forced to go to an official NJ GTG to get my fix.

Have a good weekend everyone.

 

Good Saturday Morning everyone, nice sunny day up here, I hope the sun is shining on you....

 

Negative..

 

60 and overcast, totally draining on enthusiasm to get out and work on my exhaust

 

Meriden a few minutes from the airport.

 

oil is changed on my 6.0, now i am trying to find a ford dealer so i can get sway bar links and bushings. the clunk is getting old.

also, i put my sct performance tune in, because it wont be towing for a while. wowdoes it move!

 

Hello everyone:

I never tried the performance tune my SCT guy gave me.

At 8,800+ pounds I am concerned that my van is already too heavy for it.

I told the SCT tuner guy that in addition to the weight issue, my engine was mechanically sitll OEM and together I didn't want to break anything.

I am pleased with the Tow-Haul tune he gave me.

 

5 pools and a liner today!

And the 6.0 is messing up again, we hit a bump and it started chugging along, couldnt get over 40 mph with foot to floor

 

I'd like to beef up my engine, but so far I haven't got past the sticker shock, much less have any discretionary cash to save up.

I know I would go to the next larger variable guide van turbo, I'll stay with VGT and avoid the code issues.

I'd also go with the large bore exhaust gas cooler versus a delete kit.

I'd upgrade to head studs and metal gasket, plus the oil pump rotor.

I don't know if I'd do the stage one injectors and fuel system enhancements.


I wonder if I'd still pass the emissions SNAP test with the larger turbo?

• I don't know if the larger compressor wheel coupled to a stock turbine wheel would help me pass the test or not.
• I'm thinking the larger compressor wheel might keep me lean, yet the stock turbine trying to drive that larger compressor wheel adds more turbo lag and I go all that much more rich.

Then after the stage one injectors are installed I guess I'd definitely need a tune to restrain engine fueling during a snap test.

 

Hello Miles:

Do you think it went into Limp-Home mode?

Or was it the transmission staying in a low gear?
