What a fast response to my first posting. Here a a few questions regarding my 2000 F250 7.3L manual trans
1. Programmers, What do you recommend and am I missing the boat if I don't add an aftermarket exhaust as well?
2. I've been told that if I chip I should guage as well or I am riding blind. What do you think.
3. I seem to have a hard time with first gear (not granny) no matter where I have the clutch it often grinds when I shift to first. Any thoughts?
4. I notice a tin like transmission noise in first as I let off the clutch that disappears after the clutch has been released and the rpms increase. I was told by a dealership shop that is normal. Is it?
Thanks
