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.

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

^^ 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!
