A few questions

Does a 2002 - 7.3 psd have the powdered metal rods?
If so, to what extent are mods okay/safe?

Where is diesel Kleen sold?
(i.e local auto part chain stores, Wal-Mart, etc??)

Thanks

i buy diesel kleen at walmart, i am 90% sure they PM rods, you would be safe with intake, exhaust, and a pretty high hp chip, i think about 450 HP is the limit of those rods.

PM rods have broke with a lot less HP than 450. More like 350 RWHP. It's all in the tune. I would suggest a chip, not a fits all programmer.
