I just bought a 06 dodge cummins 3500 6 speed and it does run pretty good and its stock. I might get a air intake and maybe a full exhaust just for the sound and not performance.

Sorry tim but your statement about all psd running like that is hard to believe. Unless the 15 psd iv driven that were modifieid were just the bad seeds from the factory. Quite frankley iv never seen a psd put out more then 35 psi of boost with the exception of the 2 built pulling trucks iv driven. Not trying to start a war i am just stating my experience. oh ya the 15 all atleast had a 60 hp chip, exhaust, and an intake at the minimum.

Who wants me to take a picture of my boost gauge at WOT?

I'll do it with NOTHING but tuning and exhaust, if you like...

PSD 60L depending on what year of truck you have is why i say this. But which boost gauge are you talking about the one on your dash pannel or an aftermarket one that you hav installed. Reason i ask is because the 3 05 psd's that we hav put gauges on read 35 psi on the stock gauge but when we hooked up the dynafact gauges they read about 25-26 psi.

Manual boost gauge on a 2004. Peaks at 44, holds 39 to redline.

Frankly I think you were honest with your first post...

I have serious doubts whether you would have posted that if you didn't have hopes of the answer being "No".

Don't get your hopes up

Not at all.

You've only got 5, and ironically they have all been in this thread, seemingly to get a rise, knowing that it is a Ford website.

Yes how ironic it must be that I only posted 5 times considering I have only been a member for about 5 days. I should have definitely posted more then 5 times. Shame on me. And yes I also find it so ironic that I have posted in my thread. How dare I. I also do apologize that I don’t find anything else interesting enough to post in. Please accept my humble apologies.

I didn't mean to come off as making accusations, but with a history of trolls (especially in this forum) sometimes certain actions will get questioned.

BTW, you have been a member for a full month, as of today.

I see that you have other Ford vehicles and didn't mean to come off as an ***- however if your posts were taken out of context you more than likely would be a troll.

Sorry that FTE disappoints you so much...

Yeah but didn’t know it was activated until 5 days ago when I read my email and was reminded that I was a member. So let’s just say im a posting member for 5 days. Also if I wanted to troll to get people all riled up I wouldn’t be sincere. I would make false accusations and say anything under the sun to get that reaction. Like you I would probably take it as a troll to but getting people pissed at me for badmouthing their trucks just doesn’t get my rocks off like it used to.

The '96 doesn't run hard at all, in fact, after the 50hp chip, and intake exhaust, she runs just the same, if not better. Love the sound too.

Nick let me see if i understand you correctly. 1st your truck dosent run hard, then with the mods it dosent run hard and yet then it does. And finally all i fully understand is that you like the SOUND. Nothing like that v8 pop .


PSD60L curiosity has got the better of me and i was wondering what do you have done to your truck for these numbers and what are your hp/tq #'s.
