So a couple of days ago I finally bought a stealth module. I followed them on social media and figured why not. So I bought one. It showed up a few day later. Ill try and post photos of my experience. I test drove my truck and noticed a big difference. Highly recommend these mods. For those of you who live behind enemy lines or not in a free states this mod is perfect. It leaves no trace... Whenever you need to smog or take your truck to the dealer just pull the thing off. This is perfect of for owners who don't wanna void their warranty. This mod doesn't leave any trace..
The contents of the box. I ordered the switch. It has 4 setting. stock, low, med and race.
Finding the wires weren't hard but making sure you plugged them in the right way made the difference.
They recommend to run the wires away from hot objects. I did my best.
The Mod came with two black zip ties. I didn't use them. I decided to use 10lb velcro. The guy that makes them recommended this. Over all I think this is a improvement over zip ties.
I mounted the Module on top of the fuse box. It was recommended by the rep that I communicated with. Away from heat.
Feeding the wire through the fire wall took the longest. If you youtube how to pass wires through a 2011 f250 theres a guy that shows you where to access. Not very hard. All you have to do is pull up the carpet and pull the rubber plug. A trick that I used was that I drilled a hole into the plug and fed the selector out of the hole. I tied wire to it and pulled it up next to the fuse box. I did this so I didn't have to drill a larger hole for the selector.
This is the switch that came with the mod. I found a hallow spot above the parking park the install. I drilled a 11/32 hole *i think* it was a perfect fit. I pulled the side panel to the door and below the steering wheel to access. After I installed I took a couple of zip ties to hold the wire in place
This switch was too big to fit through the plastic plug so I drilled a hole and back fed this thing through the fire wall. NO big deal. Just tape and string.
Im pretty impressed. Highly recommend this product. The person I spoke with, Eric, has answered all my dumb questions... I feel a lot more power in the higher setting. I'd like to get a mount next the switch, so I know or anyone who's driving the truck knows what setting its in. I saw this mod being advertised on diesel brothers website. I figured it was too good to be true. After a few months of following them on social media I had too many good stores of people gaining 100 HP and 2.5 mpg. Now I get it, the mpg gain is going to take a couple of weeks. So iill up date.
Sounds almost like the Banks 6 gun that I had on my 6.4.
Does the switch allow for different settings?
What about monitoring the vitals, was there sometime included for that?
Also might do some checking again with them and see if it is CARB certified and can provide you with a EO sticker. With the sticker, no need to removed for emissions.

Im pretty sure that its not CARB certified. They recommend you remove the mod for any service. It was 4 settings stock, tow/economy, performance and power.
I went with this so I could gain MPGs and more power. I'll update in a couple of weeks with my mileage.
Curious how this box works. Does it hook up between the sensors and the computer to alter what the ECU sees?
I wonder about the claim of no increase in EGT's too. To get more power out of a diesel you add more fuel. Unless you also increase the air flow then you get higher EGT's. Last winter I was towing with my truck on a Tow tune (H&S) and in higher elevation climbs the EGT's would get up past 1000F and coolant temps would climb. On a few occasions the tuner would alert and defuel the engine.
According to the instructions, it plugs only into the fuel pressure sensor, intercepting and modifying that signal. That seems like a very blunt tool to tune a very complex motor.
"Warranty excludes and disclaims any liability or obligation for incidental or consequential damages and cost related to such damages including but not limited to installation, removal or repair labor, rental vehicles, tow or any other inconvenience costs." Which means if it breaks your truck, that's on your dime. I guess I would want to know a lot more about what it does before I plugged it into a $60K truck.
If you have one, try recording the fuel pressure readings with Forscan or the like with and without - that would be interesting.

On my older diesels, my upper limit is about 1250F, so I wouldn't let 1000F worry me a bit. Plus, with a diesel, as you add more fuel, the turbo is going to add more air on it's own until you max out it's capacity. From what I've read, the stock turbo has plenty of additional capacity left before it becomes the limiting factor in achieving more HP. Definitely interested to hear about regen frequency and mileage changes.
Well after a few months I finally noticed better mileage. Im averaging 18mpg- 18.7 highway driving at 70MPH. I think I could get closer to 20MPG is I slowed down a bit. Thing that kills my economy is city driving. I average about 16 city give or take. No issues thus far. Very very happy with this product. I may have put the switch in a bad spot. I've bumped it a few times getting in and out of my truck with my knee. After Noticing the increase power I check the setting and find that its been changed.
