I have heard they were bad. What about the Superchop 1851 that is used for fuel mileage and economy mpg? Bad? Whats a couple good ones?

I'm defiantly not going to be street racing, and i'm not looking to roll smokes all the way down the road. I want to upgrade more cosmetic things than engine. I'm perfectly content with stock power, maybe a couple maintenance upgrades like good fuel filters, etc..

The dealer already tried that..they are the ones that stripped it, I never noticed it until I removed the elbow to replace the EGR valve and update my FP spring.

So unless I fill it with alumaloy and redrill and tap I'm screwed.

sct makes a few that work great.
any hope at milage is wasted. the truck weighs about 8,000 lbs and has a v8.
you may gain you may lose. in the end its still 4 tons of rolling steel its gonna suck.

The only fuel and oil filters to uses are Motor Craft or Racor, dont buy cheap aftermarket ones you will pay in the end.

As Cheez said he tuner shouldnt be bought for mileage, usually you never get any extra, you loose causse of the fun factor and the grin you get.

If you are thinking of a tuner get a SCT with cutom tunes from Inoovative, DP Tuner, or some of the others that are recomended by the users here. Mosst are actually sponsors off this site.

I'm also curious, a little birdy told me that if the oasis report says that the EGR was replaced in the year 08+, that it was replaced with a good one, and not a faulty part? True or false?

Thank you for clearing that up cheezit. The 06-07 model is the better of the bunch correct? Most of the problems I have seen on this website, and others seem to come from the earlier 6.0 years. Which better changes were made in 05 correct?

yes the 06/07 are the better years. there is some myth to that too though,
the truth is 2 fold.
the biggist factor is we learned how to fix them.

Well said. You are pretty much answering all my questions, and I appreciate it alot.

Maybe you know the answer to this. Why does my year truck not have a Turbo gauge in the dash? Is it an option, or just my model? I feel it kick it good when it is suppose to, just curious.
