anyhing else?

So i recently did the full fcd egr delete and a new icp sensor and even a new injector.. My truck is now 110% back on track and running VERY strong.

I am going to call Eric and get some new tunes this week but I wanted to know if anyone recommends some mods first?

I already have gauges, MBRP turboback etc.. I want to leave the stock air filter setup in the truck.. Anything else I can pick up before getting the tunes???

Thanks for the help,

-Rob

I would install a coolant filter and also put a magnefine 3/8" tranny filter in the power steering return hose immediately after flushing it with syn. Mercon V fluid.

Just compared my truck with a buddies 05 that we each bought a couple of months apart. I have a coolant filter and he doesn't. My degas bottle and coolant are clear to the eye and his is a dark brown color with crap in the bottle and no, there is no oil in his coolant. He had me order a coolant kit for him from Dieselsite yesterday. The kit is $119.00 plus any extra filters that you may want. My power steering fluid smells like new and if the dip stick is put on a clean rag the stain is all red. His is red with black running through it and it has a burnt odor to it. It has been well over a year since I installed the Magnefine filter so I know without a doubt that the filter is the difference.

i did the coolant filter and the transmission filter setup just last week as well!! Yes, midne is from dieselsite too!! Super nice product!!

What about like an intake pipe? Anything else that will create a power difference before I get the new tunes?

In my opinion intake pipes are all bling and a waste of money unless you are pushing some serious h.p.

^^ Thats good to know! I dont want to just **** $ out the window but I figured now would be a better time to add mods that would effect the tune... while im getting new ones!!

What does new tunes cost?? I got my origional tunes from Eric like a year and a half ago and I just got me truck re-flashed at the dealer so I need new ones!
