Newbie with questions
Hi all,
I am the proud owner of a 2005 Ford F-350, crew cab, long bed, powerstroke with the manuel transmission. The truck of my dreams! I will now be in the market for the "bells and wistles" to get the beast to come to life. I understand that exhaust and intake and a chip are the way to start, at least from what I have read. I also have read about doing an ERG delete. Problem is, I don't know what ERG means and how can I delete it. Keep in mind this is my first diesel and I just want to make sure that I treat it right. Any help in plain english about the steps I can take to make the motor preform at its best would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

Ditto the above. Also, this is another great place to start reading and researching - the 6.0 Tech Folder. It contains several great write-ups, some with pics, that will get you started:

Welcome to the board Sam!
For stuff other than engine, post your SD questions here.
I hope you have deep pockets, LOL!
You will want to go mod crazy, there is SO much you can do to these trucks...

Here is a great site by one of our members, it's for a 7.3 engine but other stuff would apply to you, bookmark it!
