TS Performance chip,Kwik filter=SMOKE !!!
Finally got around to putting in my TS performance 4 pos chip and also installed a KWIK filter while I was at it which is HUGE ,way bigger than the k&n cone filter,I was amazed how much bigger that Kwik filter is and it just barely fits .
Today I finally had Black smoke !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That thing now runs like I would never imagine ! WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to everyone on this site for all the great help ...you guys are awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Johnny ,it is amazing the power these trucks have, Mine is automatic so maybe the trans shift kit first then the wicked wheel ???? Scott, I have been keeping an eye on the gauges and so far I have not seen above 1100 pre turbo but then again I have not driven to work on the turnpike yet !!!
I spent a good bit of time cleaning the contacts for the chip using brake cleaner ,alcohol and a scotch brite pad, but my first attempt the truck would not start ...took the computer back out and cleaned it again with nail polish remover and the truck did start that time !!! Maybe the nail polish remover may be the way to go for any one attemting installing a new chip ??????
I sure had fun driving the truck around today and now I know what you all mean about not being able to keep your foot off the go pedal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW

Another Good Way To Clean All The Silicone From The Contacts Is With Acitone. When I Was Cleaning My Contacts Up I Also Used A Very Fine Steel Wool To " Shine " The Contacts A Bit. I Understand That Cleaning The Contacts Are Very Important To Insure A Good Connection When Plugging In The Chip.
I Love My Chip....... Used To Run A Superchips Micro Tuner And I Always I Thought I Had Alot Of Extra Power ( I Did Have Some ) But After Installing My 6 Pos Chip , I Now Realise That The Tuner I Had Was No Comparison To The Chip. I Smile Every Time I Push Down The Pedal To Pass Another Car When On The Highway. You Don't Need To Floor It Either.
Heck..... I Smile Every Time I Push Down On The Pedal Period .

i never thought i would have a truck with a motor that could make 700 foot pounds of torque... and now that i do, and i know what that kind of torque allows you to do... i'll never own a truck without a diesel again...!

Johnny ,I would never buy a gas truck again !!!!!!!!!!!! Just need to sell my 97 f250 hd 460 gas hog @8 mpg .Seems like no one else wants it either with the price of fuel these days ! I have had my diesel about 7 months now and appreciate it more everyday especially when a new mod is added !! I have not driven the gas hog once since the day I got the diesel !! I met my new girlfriend about two months ago and whenever I take her and her two hot friends anywhere they always want me to drive the BIG FORD DIESEL !! They even got a kick out of the Black Smoke !!!
