sounds like you either have a cracked y pipe or a filter housing leaking. you may have some injectors going out. some time its easy to tell before it happens sometimes not.
i have to call bs on the belt squeek. i would call them back and speak to the service manager on that one. failer to fix it correctly then passing it off as somewhat normal is like i said total bs

You can start the truck Cold and feel around with your Hands around these pipesin the bACK
A SGII with 2 Standalone EGT and Fuel Press Gauges Would Fulley cover Engine Sensors and some of the Trans
IIRC Smartphone has DashBoss or Torqapp you wireless OBDII Connetor
SCT Tunner would tune the truck the Best IDK if they have a Gauge Option

I see a lot of people on here talking about a scan guage.. is that something that you plug in every now and again or something you leave plugged like a tuner? We sell Bully Dog and I was going to get the GT Tuner just to run on stock and have more guages to see EGT and things like that becuse I do tow so much, and a lot more in the summer. I heard you don't want to run any of the programs unless you have the head studs done as well. I also want it to program my speedo.. Do I need both?
Do you think the same of the Bully Dog intake V.S. the K & N that they dust the turbo? I am running a pre filter on mine. And it did add a little power over tunning the stock filter with the bigger exhaust.
Thanks.

all the time.
stock intake is good to 500 hp. stock filter is very hard to beat for performance.
go buy your truck a scanguage, leave the bully dog stuff alone, it
has a poor reputation on here, and it seems to have earned it.
get some reading on your engine, and come back and talk about it.

Took the truck to my buddy's shop last night and checked for codes, there is nothing, and hasn't thrown anything after I got the FICM replaced.
Ordering the SGII today. I will have to find a good diesel shop around here to take it to to figure out the belt issue. I did not take it to the dealership for that. When I took it back to the same shop that fixed my belt/tensioner issue the first time they took the belt off and check everything and said it was fine, put some belt dressing on and it went away for a few days then came back, would belt dressing do anything to help the bearings for a few days?
Putting the stock intake back on as soon as I get a clean filter for it.

Is Ford the only one who makes the blue spring update? (Motorcraft Part # 3C3Z-9T517-AG). Or are their aftermarket companies too?

Just the spring is all that is needed, I got the kit with the cover, but then you have to remove the fuel line fitting that is attatched, I didn't see the point of needing to replace the cover, I say this assuming the "spring only"comes with the keyhole gasket and white air bleed as they tend to break for no reason other than looking at them.
