Talking My Ride

I have an '05 F250 CC Lariat 6L Diesel. Took trip to brothers in Virginia for Thanksgiving and got 17.7 mpg with only 2500 miles on it. Considering the Diablo tuner, but wondering if the exhaust system should come first to cut down on EGT??
Thanks for the great site.

thats not bad for mileage for a new truck. i would go with an exhaust first because the diablo will raise your egt's alot if you keep her burried for a long time. after the exhaust id go with an intake then the diablo.....but just make sure that you get guages first so you dont melt your engine
