ATS products
Has anyone out there used ATS injectors, turbos, or other products? I like to be well informed before I start making decisions on aftermarket products that will void my warranty. Any help would be appreciated.

SCT is the ****! I dont think ATS could compete with them. However their Aurora series turbos are bad fuggin *** IMO. They definetly know what they're doing but I think they are more Chebby guys themselves.

ATS's tuning is an SCT - Tadd Layton used to do their's. I haven't heard much positive about their customer service, so be careful. My tuner originally came from there and it was a pain to get a response. Elite Diesel (Tadd ) is now where I turn to.

Would the 6.0 gain any reliability from LIPD,s stage 1 package. If I am going to void my warranty I don't want to worry about my truck breaking down once a month and being at the dealership for 3 or 4 days at a time. How much strain would stage 1 put on the rest of the engine. I am a little spoiled I guess, my 2000 f 350 v 10 that I traded in on my 6.0 had 172,000 without any problems, not even a leak. And before somebody asks, the v 10 had a tuner, exaust, and an air box and I towed the same trailers with the v 10 as I do with the diesel.

DW66,
As far as reliability improvements I'd go w/ a set of ARP headstuds (and wire-ring gaskets if already an issue), LIPD's coolant/block reroute, the EGR delete and a Stage 1 fuel system. These items address the main culprits to 6.0 catastrophies; compression loss due to blown gaskets &/or warped heads, ruptured EGR and injector failure. The Stage 1 kit includes some of these components but not others. I'd invest in the Stage 1 at the same time as the other improvements.

The only other items i would add to 20046.0PSDX's list is the "Fluidampr" harmonic balancer and the Banks Intercooler & larger CAC tubes. Also recommend the CCV re-route as explained in the tech folder to keep the oil out of the CAC tubes and intercooler.
