Just saying hey

Wow been trying to sign up for the past few months, for some reason it wouldn't go through. I've been lurking here for that time and have learned a lot over that time.

Learned how to fix my heated seats, learned about DP wow what a great product. Tried to find my door code. LOL That didnt' work out well, but found a dealer in Sandwich IL that will read the code for 20 bucks. Worth dropping the 20 after I spent 3 hours ripping the dash apart.

My truck is a 2001 EX limited, and I'm loving it. Bought it to pull my trailer and haul the family and dogs around. Only mods so far are a K&N cai, the dp tuner, gauges will be here tommorrow, and 305/50/20's with nitto terra grappler tires. Love everything about this truck. Just have a few little annoying things to fix.

Hope that one day I can add something to this forum.

Steve

Welcome Steve.

Create a sig with your rigs vitals, that way we know what kind of Ex you have and what mods you've done.

Since you have a DP-Tuner, I assume you have a 7.3, yes? If so, get rid of that K&N filter and get yourself a 6637, AFE, or S&B setup.

Go to RiffraffDiesel.com

Clay will take care of you.

This is the Big Boost filter I'm running on my F250. I really like it.

Riffraff Diesel: AFE "Big Boost" BHAF Washable Filter

Contact Clay before you order and let him know you want the install kit for the Big Boost. It's the same install kit he put together for the 6637 filter setup.
