Need some tips
whats up, i just bought a 2006 F-350, 6.0 l. Im new to diesel, pretty ignorant when it gets down to it. so if i can get any advice i really appreciate. 2 questions; first, will factory rims 16 in. from a 99' powerstroke fit over my brake calipers on this newer truck. Second, i want to get a programmer, any recommendations? something for mileage and towing? thanks.

I believe the rims from the 99-2003 has different backspacing however the bolt pattern is the same.
Get some Gauges pyro, tranny temp and boost. for the programmer SCT with some custom tunes. if your gonna want to start getting crazy your gonna need headstuds and EGR blocked off.

Your 16" rims will not fit your '06 truck. They upgraded the rotor diameter beginning in '05, and the smallest rim you can run is a 17".
I hate to see good trucks get screwed up, so my advice is to skip the tuner. Basically if you have to ask which one, you ain't ready for one.

So, just exactly how should someone get ready for one without asking questions?
