I have a 2002 F-250 Super Duty Lariat, with the 6.8 V-10, 4.30 gears, 6 speed manual transmission, and 54,000 on the engine.

I just replaced the spark plugs and boots and I am waiting for the ordered exhaust parts to upgrade to Banks headers and a Flowmaster stainless cat back.

I have a 12 ft. slide in camper, that I use in the summer and the rig has been to Alaska and back with no problems.

Will I gain anything with the 5 Star tuner and a 6 speed manual transmission?

 

Besides what it does for the automatic tranny, I truly believe you will benefit from the tune even with a manual tranny.

I would ask Mike@5-star and see what he says to begin with.

 

Krewat,

Thank You for getting back to me! I was hoping another member had experience with the tuner and a manual transmission.

 

No problem, wait a day or two and see... I remember someone definitely has experience with a manual tranny, and a tune, but it may take a while before they chime in

 

I assume the Banks headers also comes with a new Y pipe, otherwise, you will need one to complete the best experience. If I were you, I'd contact Mike at 5 Star and ask him direct, he will not BS you about what he can or can not do for you.

Krewat,

Thanks, I hang in there and see if anyone jumps in.

 

Pappy 19,

Yes the Banks headers do come with a redesigned Y tube that flows much better.

I'll contact 5 Star and see what they have to say. I was hoping for a first hand account from a member that had good results.

 

Mike at 5 Star is a straight dude, he won't tell you BS just for a few bucks. Each truck has different mods and will have different results, so you can't go on just someone that has a great result or none at all. Mike will plug in your mods and give you his best tune.

 

Pappy 19,

I'll give them a call on Monday and find out what they can do for my truck.
