Cold Air Or Not?
Hello again, thanks for the input on my other posts. Here it is. I have a 2000 f350 dually with 228,000 miles, that I put my stock air box back onto. I drive about 50k a year, and I took off my cold air intake because my Certified Ford Technition, who is a good friend said that it could ruin my motor, and they can fail. I am trying to make this truck last as long as I can. I just replaced my turbo on because my old one was leaking exhaust between the turbo and the pedistal? (Still can't figure that one out) The truck runs alot better but I have noticed a decrease in Fuel economy before i did the turbo. I don't know what to do. I have a edge three stage programmer in extreme mode, and a somewhat stock exhaust.
Thank You,
Thank You,

I would ask why he thinks the cold air intake (you didn't say which one you had) would cause the problem. If you have proper filtration I don't see how the cold air set up could hurt anything. Besides the Ford factory air box has had it's share of problems that can lead to a dusted turbo.

I don't know if that really classifies as cold air since there's nothing blocking the filter off from the engine compartment. You do know we have a section dedicated to the 7.3 powerstroke here https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum31/
Too bad you didn't find us sooner. If you like that set up you could have done this for about $25
