New Here !!
I Purchaced A 2005 Psd On 1/1/05 And I Have 5,500 Miles. I Had A Tranny In It At 2,500 Miles. The Tranny Locked Up On Me At 35mph. They Replaced It No Questions Asked, But It Took 2 Weeks. It Had A Oil Leak. The Bed Rattled. Oh And The Tranny Is Not Shifting Right Again They Said To Drive It Till It Goes Out. I Had A 97 F350 With A 7.3 I Had 205,000 Miles On It When I Sold It. This New Truck Is Not Built As Well As The Old One.
I Have Some Questions.......
I Have The Banks 6 Gun I Had It On For A Little Before The Tranny Went Out. Did That Cause It?
These New Lights Suck! Any Bulbs To Replace The Stock Ones?
Will The Banks Chip, A Catback, And An Intake Void The Warintee?

1. It is possible due to overpowering but from what I have read not likely.
2.No, there are no better bulbs out yet that I know of.
3.It will cause issues for sure if you take it back to the dealer with chip in (or if they know it was in), the catback shouldn't be an issue, I don't know about the intake.

the torqe shift trans had a issue with bad snap rings causing the unit ti fail. that has been corrected on the line and by a recall. lights get used to them for now untill some one comes up with some thing better.
as to your warrenty .i strongly suggest you carefully read your owners manual and the smaller booklets. you will be very surprised that the answer is yes. the exhaust won't hurt . the chip yes as i read mine. i work in a dealer ship and just about every car and truck builder is cracking down on modifactions to vechicles and improper servicing. as a away to lower unnessary warrenty costs that would not be there on a stock vechicle.
good luck man when you go back pull the chip and play safe

I put Sylvania SilverStars in my 04 and the lights improved dramatically. Otherwise, there are some folks around on here that went the whole nine yards and got HID conversions. I forget the company doing those at the moment.
Sorry to hear about the Tranny. My 04 Tranny has been towing for almost 14K now, and it's done fine. They had a bad lot of them, but if they put your new one in there and didn't clear out all the cooling lines perfectly, your new one probably swallowed a bunch of gunk left in the lines, which'll either kill the new one outright from metal flakes or clog your filter and make it run hot. Tranny filter is on the passenger side, near the radiator, engine side.
I'm not buying that you overpowered the tranny. I've got the word from a few good buddies that the Torqshift is built to take far more HP and torque than the 6.0 can dish out. Others are more knowledgable on automatics than I am (Well, a lot are), but I read somewhere that if you exceed the limits the control module will just let it slip to prevent you from busting it outright.
The programmer might get you into trouble depending on how nosy the dealer is, but I wouldn't think the cat back will hurt you unless you have inspection regs that prohibit it.
