Hey guys. Ive spent alot of time in the IDI forum but i just bought a new truck a few days ago. I bought a 2005 F350 with 85,000 kms on it. I knew about all the headgasket and egr problems before i bought the truck. But i didnt know about getting a oasis report. I found out about the oasis report yesterday so i put in a request to get one for my truck. Looking at the oasis report for my truck it seems like i didnt get a problem one.

I want to start modding the truck but im worried about voiding my warranty. I was just wondering if there are some things i can do to the truck that wont void my warranty? Ive already put the high idle mod onto one of my upfitter switches and i plan on getting a coolant filter pretty quick. Its going to take a while to get used to this truck after driving a IDI for the past 2 years. I sure love hearing that whistle though.

 

If you can't afford to repair the truck out of warranty, then I would hold off on the performance mods until you can afford it. The coolant mod is a good one to do now and maybe a cat back exhaust for sound however it will not improve much in the way of performance.

 

Do you want performace mods or reliability?

Reliability go with Coolant filter, Oil bypass filter, Regulated Return, CCV Reroute, and gauges. All those are pretty cheap. I would get a cat delete pipe or get a full exhaust so that you can bolt the cat up when you need warranty work or emissions testing. You've only got a year of warranty left also so getting just a cat back exhaust would be kind of a waste of money. After you get out of warranty do the EGR delete.

You can do a search on all the above mod's there is a lot of information on all of them.

If you want to get a tuner go with an SCT with custom tunes. Set aside about 3k though just in case you pop your headgaskets.

Welcome and congratulations.
