Question on Upgrades
Whatsup Everybody, I need help on deciding on some better power options, my truck is still mainly stock, i have got in a bind 2 times trying to merge on interstates and highways, and have almost got killed because my truck wont go i just fixed an injector and it seems to do better, prob the way i drive its my fault but i would like to make this engine better than what Ford has done to it, i compare mine to the T444E at my school and it has bigger components all the way around, does anyone have any suggestions to make this truck better

Not to be a dick, but lets try again. Read the link in my sig. Kris will tell you step by step what the best approach for modding your PSD is. (I would get a John Woods Valve Body instead of a BTS, but that is the only thing I would change)

It only helps shifting. there is only so much electronic stuff you can do to firm up the shifts and then youre going to need to do some mechanical adjusting.

Gale Banks is know world wide, and to say his stuff is junk is not to nice. They have a great staff of people, working to improve Diesel efficiency. I use some of his stuff along with others as well. A 167 mph truck with no smoke say's alot. Go on youtube and watch!

Gale does make good diesel performance parts, but they are for the masses. In addition, they really don't care about the 7.3's anymore. Did you know they aren't even making ONE 7.3 in 2008??? That was their opinion when I called their "customer service."
In addition, their stuff is grossly overpriced. Do you know how many other brand mods you could buy for the price of one Stinger Plus etc kit???
So...what I am trying to say is Gale Banks has some good stuff out there, but it is certainly not the best bang for your buck.
The End.
