Well I wouldn't go bragging 600 HP until you have the dyno sheet to back it I have seen several people bragging about their horse power, get some numbers before you start bragging now or you'll be like the rest of the trolls 
.
.Izzy, Im not bashing the PSD. I know they can make power, but they take a lot of money to do it. I have $300 stuck into a set of injectors, everything else is stock. Its putting out somewhere near 600 hp. Not sure, it hasnt seen a set of rollers yet, but it will shortly. I was on here looking for info on a PSD we have, gave a simple reply to the original ? when everyone else said it couldnt be done. Well, it can. I dont mean to start anything, just a little friendly conversation. I know I was on here before when I still had the powerstroke in here, and couldnt get much help on questions I was asking. At the time, I knew more about Cummins and could swap cheaper than what it would cost me to rebuild the powerstroke.

Just curious about what your heard going on in Texas. I live in Houston and I'm still in h.s. so it sounds like it might apply to me lol

BigCat. I really wasnt bashing the PSD until others starting bashing me. Anyhow, it doesnt matter. My truck is 4x4. Im not sure what kinda hp its makeing, havent been to the dyno yet, might be a while before I get there. I got laid off from work a couple weeks ago, so dont have much money to play with. As for the underdog, sounds like you might be, but you never know. Im haveing lift pump issues right now, I think Im using more fuel than the Carter mechanical can deliver, so if I cant get the boost you would have me, but Ive been able to leave the line at over 35 psi lately.

So I just read through 3 pages of b.s. looking for an answer in regards to the original topic. So, SDCummins, if this alleged smoke switch can be done in a SD. Could you please give some instructions on how to do so? Otherwise this thread should be done away with because it is going nowhere fast.

If the truck had the crappy 5.4 Id yank it out in a hearbeat for the l6. Im about ][ close to yanking the v10 out of my F450 for a 12v cummins swap. that pile has under 60k and tossed one if its rods out the side, probly from a few of the 6000rpm uphill runs with a 10k skidsteer on the back, lol.

What gauge wire did you use? Can you explain a little bit better? I have a 2000 7.3 also and I'd like to wire one in.
