Dad's New Rig
Hello,
I am proud to announce my dad got rid of his Hemi!! He now has in his possesion an 03 F-250 Crew Cab Shortbed FX4 With a 6.0 Diesel The 5 Speed Automatic & the ESOF T-Case. Ford did adjust the PCM In 05. Oh Yeah the truck has 87k on it. My question is that I've heard to wait till 100k before you strait-pipe them. I want to only cut the muffler out & put a piece of flex tubing like they use on semi trucks. I want to retain the rest of the exhaust. I have heard not to cut the cat out beacause this will void the extended warranty. Is any of this true & has anybody else done this? If so, do they have any sound clips to share?
Any help would be great. This is Dad's first diesel & the first 6.0 I've been around. Thanks
