Fordman(dont know your name sorry) posted in another thread an idea to a "just say no" list and i also think one should be made for new users as a sticky so us newbies don't buy into the cheap and bad or over expensive things.
i hope no one gets offended

Let's see..just say no list.

Banks products other than the ic kit
Anything bully dog
Anything edge
Anything power stroke help says
Just wanting your truck to "roll coal" with no intention of HP

keep it going guys

 

With the exception of the edge insight CTS. That is a very useful tool.

 

K&N air filter

 

Any kind of oil additives at all.
Parts store sensors and UVCHs, gaskets and pigtails....Motorcraft or IH only.

 

Chevy, Dodge, or Super Duty tow mirrors should be on the list.

Lol, I'm just kidding.

 

Oh, some of his stuff is alright. If I remember correctly, his clutch pedal heim joint mod video was pretty good. His water pump replacement video was helpful, too, for a guy who had never done it before (myself). But, yeah, other than that, you're right.

 

I was going to say this. Had mine for two years and it's been great.

LOL! I'm not....worst mod ever

 

No to any CPS not bought from Ford or International….

 

i just went and watched some of powerstrokehelp's videos and one he had a truck in his shop that had a glowplug blow out and shoot into the valve cover like a bullet,seriously half of it was out of the top of the vc, WTF. then he started saying screw a new one and and your good...
1391

 

The powerstrokehelp guy is OK in my book. His arrogance and style is a little much, but overall he has a great amount of powerstroke knowledge. I think most of his videos are marketing hype for his shop, but he does have a few decent clips on there.

 

Lol, that sounds about right.

 

Make sure you change your hpop oil

Lol I like this thread
!

Also injectors from any source other than rosewood!

Don't buy one at a time..please..

 

Resistor Mods... Just Say NO!


Keeping the stock downpipe... Just Say NO!


EGT probe in downpipe... Just Say NO!


Drilling holes in your bed for stacks... Just Say NO!
Ok, this last one is just my preference.

 

Replacing the Up Pipe Gaskets (in lieu of new bellowed up pipes)...NO!

 

anything besides motorcraft glowplugs
