I had a tuner on my 6.0 for a while. I stuck it in level 5 once. If I would have left it there tires would have shortly been an issue.

But probably the most useful.

We had an 87 mustang for a while. Not a bad car but not any good on snowy roads. Had a decent stereo for stock I remember that.

My brothers friend works at a diesel performance shop, where I had my lift installed after hours. You should see some of the trucks comin out of there. Diesels have such huge potential for massive power. Every year there is a shop in Abbotsford that has a diesel dyno day. If you still had your tuner it may have been worth while to take a trip down and see what kinda numbers you were making.

I think it's B&D Diesel that does it. I was kind of worried about head gaskets and my tranny. Lots seem to have tranny troubles running the edge. I think most of it is how you drive it. I would like to get a SCT with some custom tunes.
