I have a 98 e-350 box van with a powerstroke and I want to know which chip is the best bang for your buck. I want more economy and power. Also what motor does this have since its a 98? It has an auto tranny.

 

It should be a 7.3L. As far as the chip. I like DP-Tuner that's what I got and have not complaints.

 

The most bang for your buck is the 10k mod. It'll cost you maybe a couple of (I mean 2!) dollars and will provide a noticeable difference in power.
Do a search for directions. It is easy, too. Maybe 1/2 hour or so of time.
I can't verify this, but I think I remember reading someone claiming 30 hp increase.
I don't know the exact amount, but you can feel the difference, no doubt.

 

i cant say enough great things to say about my 4-pos TWildman chip! it makes my truck run like a whole new truck!

-cutts-

 

Dp-tuner and Tony Wildman are the guys to see. hands down they seem to be the guys who know these truck the best. here's their web sites.

I've been googling 10k Mod for about half an hour and can't find anything. Does anyone know where to find directions? I might consider this..


Thank you.

 

I would recommend dp tuner it will give your truck a lot more usable power and run VERY smooth.

10kResistorMod

A 10k ohm resistor will raise the injection oil pressure approximately 200 psi. Increased injection pressure will deliver more fuel and will deliver more fuel sooner. This increase in fuel deliver and advance will yield higher combustion temperature but your exhaust gas temperature will remain almost steady. Such an efficient burn has it's down side. It will cause an idle rougher than stock. It may also cause the production of nitrous oxides. Thermal efficiency is a function of the high(absolute)temperature divided by low(absolute)temperature. In other words, the higher the peak combustion temperature in comparison to the exhaust temperature the more efficient is your engine.

Parts Needed
digital volt ohm meter
10k ohm resistor (1/2 or 1 watt)
2 fine copper wires 4" length
black tape
Procedure
1 Solder wire on resistor
2 Identify injection pressure sensor (on front of driver side cylinder head)
3 Test for voltage with key on and engine off




IPS has 3 connections:
+4.97V
+0.003V
+Output
Turn key off!
Connect resistor between output and 0.003V (do not cut any factory wires)
Slide fine wires into plug and reassemble
Cover bare wires with tape
I used a 1 watt .05 rated 10K resister. Soldered a 3" piece of wire on each side of the resister slide heat shrink over the entire part of the resister and about 1" of wire. Leave about 1" of the wire soldered on inside the heat shrink and seal each end to be sure with electrical tape. Then I stripped the wire back 1" I pulled out of the wire 5 strands and cut the rest away. Looking at the connector it looks like 2 eyes and a mouth put 1 wire in the right eye and the other in the mouth Blue/stripe and grey/stripe wire. I put the plug back into the ICP about 20 time until the check engine light did not come back on. If the check engine light comes back on you still have a open circuit. Just push it into there harder or pull it a part and put in again until no Check Engine Light comes on. It will if your work if you keep putting it in the plug and it seats.

REMOVE BEFORE DEALER SERVICE

 

check this out on the 10 k mod!!

Tony Wildman.....IMHO the best programmer for the older powerstrokes. Jody @ DP is also very good.

 

i have the bully dog 4 bank 6 position chip now, and i will be swapping it out for the dp when the funds arise. it gives me the power, but sometimes it doesnt work. i have to shut the truck off about ten times and restart to make it work right. the 4x4 shop that installed it told me this is normal, but im just not happy just my .02

 

Dp all tha way!! his programs will do just what that 10k mod will and a whole lot more!!!!!!
